summary of thriller genre

Thriller is a genre of  text, film, and tv that uses suspense, tension, and excitement as the main elements. it is norrmally set like a horror but less scary and a better more intence plott.

Thrillers are used to heavily stimulate the viewer's moods usally creating high levels of high level of anticipation, expectation, uncertainty, anxiety, suspense, excitement, tension, and most importantly terror. thriller use devises such as red herrings and cliffhangers, which, are used extensively. The cover-up of important information from the viewer, and "fight and chase" scenes are common methods in all of the thriller subgenres, although each subgenre has its own characteristics and methods.

20th Century Fox and itunes

Founded in 1935 it has been a major producer of films ever since. 20th century fox has been producing films of varying genres over the years a notable example is Alvin and the Chipmunks and Alien. The company has many different local branches across the world but it is mainly based in Central City, Los Angeles USA. The main benefit from being in this location is that it is quite close to Hollywood and so the acting ellite are at hand.
20th Century Fox is a large company which was created by the merger of two companies in 1935: 20th Century productions and Fox films. It is currently owned by Rupert Murdoch who also owns a large amount of the world’s media institutions. the company has made many different films from different genres ranging from Children’s animation to Adult’s horror.
Itunes:
iTunes can connect to the iTunes Store to purchase and download music, music videos, television shows, iPod games, audiobooks, podcasts and movies. It is also used to download application software from the App Store for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
iTunes was introduced by Apple Inc. on January 9, 2001.
itunes is the creation of apples genious, as it is the only way to imput onto thousands of millions of apples mp4 capable software this means that they have an almost captive audience.
Rogue:
rogue is a small english production company that hase produced a number of great thrillers.
In 1997, Rogue Pictures was formed as a division of PolyGram Pictures but the name was dropped in 2000 after Universal Pictures bought PolyGram. In 2004, the name was revived as part of Universal-owned Focus Features, with a goal of "high-quality suspense, action, thriller and urban features with mainstream appeal and franchise potential.

I have chosen not to use 20th Century Fox as my producer because it is simply too large and too far away to produce a small production as mine is this is why i have chosen i tunes as my way of distribution and rogue as my productions company as they are both very well esablished, with a huge following becouse of their thrillers (shane of the dead)   both have a very large and well respected reputation, and finally because rogue is likely to have the resourcesand imagination  needed to want to spend time and money on resourses and the advertising which can make a film successfull by sucessfully marketing and distributing my thriller.

Props

There are only a few props needed for this shot as this is set in a wood so we have no need for electrical appliances like Laptops, lights or televisions.
We will need a few low tech items:
A large tree branch – This will be used to kill the Antagonist
A small handbag – This will be carried by the woman (optional dependent on whole costume look)
bible- This will be shown being burnt or thrown to the ground for the credits each page will be part of the credits. eg title first page thrown/burnt
Because the props are simple everyday objects we feel this adds to the genral realism of the plot and storyline. Also because most of the props are low tech they will be easy to get a hold of especially the large tree branch as we will be set in a wood and I believe we will have plenty to choose from. this gives us a bigger bugget for other things like scouting costs and make up.
 
This is viedo proof of how i created music for the video although it dosent show the creation of the music i have chosen for the movie it does show the skills i have learnt in this lesson
