Thrillers!

Today’s lesson I was late for the very begging of the lesson, so I came in just after our groups short film had finished. I was slightly disappointed at first, because I didn’t get to see the classes’ reactions to our short thriller film. But I was glad that I was going to get to see every one else’s short films. Whilst watching them, our teacher Andrew was pointing out what was good about people’s films and what they could have improved on. I thought it was really helpful for me that, he was explaining what he liked and what he thought people could improve on, because this advice that he was giving to us is going to be useful later on and it also made me think about how our group could have done things better.
After we had watched every ones films we went back to our class room and got told that we was going to be watching a thriller film. We watched The Shinning which was a very good thriller to watch I enjoyed watching this film and I really liked the way the film was edited. What I liked most in the film was that the music was used to make people jump even though they weren’t seeing anything scary at all. I think that this film was a very good example of a thriller film. Because in thriller films the way tension is created is very important. So here in this film we have different ways that tension is created but most of it is created by the music. I think that this is a great way of creating tension and giving the audience jumps from time to time.
In conclusion I think that the film that we had watched today was a very good film to show how music can be used to create tension.
