Past Student Thrillers Analysis

Finders Keepers

Good things about this film was that it was all that a thriller should contain, it had fast paced shots and scenes. It almost resembled an Alfred Hitchcock type of film. In the film they including a red herring when the man pulled out his phone, but we all thought dramatically and thought that it would be a gun because of the way he was clothed, this added more tense to the film because we question why he pulled out his phone and also who he called and why he called that person. The was a good chase scene which made me think about North by Northwest when Roger Thornhill was being pursued by the police. However as well as positives in a film, there are some negatives, the camera was rather unsteady at times and the title sequence could have been edited a lot better, but overall a very good Thriller indeed.

The Night Walker

Good things about this film was that it was a good thriller and included great use of diegetic and non diegetic sounds. This is effective as it can make the Thriller seem more realistic to you. There are also a variety of shots such as a Point of View shot which is seen when she is in the car and she looks in the car mirror to see the face of her killer. Overall, in my opinion it was a very basic and predictable thriller and could be argued that the plot is difficult to understand.

Hide & Seek

The film also had some positive such as the background music matches the film which makes it more scary. Opens really normal but we know something's threatening in the background. Good camera angle when the door shuts the door slams which makes the audience jumper. Its also super nature.
However the negatives were the acting wasn't really good and the lightings were a bit poor at the beginning.
Overall I think Finders Keeper was the best thriller because it was unexpected,different & had more action. It was exciting to watch and the sounds added great effects to the film. Having elements from Hitchcock's film really did make a big difference we could tell they had done their research and it made the film stand out from the rest.
