In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge the conventions of real media products?

We also use the conventions of a real media product because in other action thriller films there are chase scenes, guns, violence, mysterious things laying about, mysterious people, tension and bad guys. These are all the things you would expect to see in a actiom thriller film and these are the things that are in our film. so i think we have used the conventions to portray and action thriller film and made this our own.

The things we expect to see in a action thriller film are;

• Chase scenes.
• Violence.
• Mystery.
• Supspensing music
• Scary looking characters.
• Hero's and villins
• Red herrings

Our film matches these key factors of a action thriller by;

Chase scenes

In a action thriller you expect to see chase scenes between characters, the audience wants the supspense of who is going to get away or what is going to happen, what genius ways will the hero or villan escape the chasem, will anyone die. These are the things that goes through the minds of a person when they watch a good chase scene, our film does this because the main character is found looking at the area 51 package when the bad people find this, they shout "hey". The main character runs away and then the film breaks into a chase scene, the character jumps over trees and branches and even one branch breaks.

Our twist to the action thriller film is that the Sam character is all by himself, usually in action thriller films there are other people around who help the character but this Sam character is all by himself with no - one to help, plus you do not see his parents so you do not know if he has any or not to help him.

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

The social groups in our media product are teenagers (the streotypical teenager; Hoody and tracksuit bottoms) and adults (particuarly in there 30's). The type of character the teenager is is a sporty but lazy character which contridicts itself. The character wears a blue hoody with grey tracksuit bottoms and a pair of trainers, these are stereotypical clothes related to that age category which means that we have a sterotypical teenager in our film, the one which old ladies tend to be scared of. We also have an adult in our film (boss character) now adults are generally sensible and mature compred with these youngesters of today but not in our film. In our film our adult character is caryying a shotgun wearing army clothes, a balaclava and some sun glasses.

now in our film i think we are representing the youth in a good way and also in a bad way. A good way because there are scarier characters in the film so the viewer warms to the teenager more rather then  the adult character but we also show him in a bad way because the viewer might ask why the teenager gets himself into that trouble in the first place just because he was a bit nosey. But overall i think we have represented the youth in a good way in our film.

In our film i think we have represented the adults in a bad way because the adult stands on the teenager so i dont think people will like that character for starters, the character also carries round a gun and wears army uniform with a balaclava so this is scary to the viewer so they will not like them that much. So we have represented the adults in a bad way.

Evaluation and self feedback

I have asked many of the target market what they think of our film and whether these would come under the the conventions of a typical action thriller film. i also asked them for some posotives and constructive criticism about the film this is what i got back from them.

Posotives

• A lot of effort has gone into the film
• The setting for the film is perfect and creates the feeling of being alone
• The intro is easy to understand and easy to follow.
• The match on actions are perfect and the film seems to flow easily.
• The fades to black create tension and you want to know what is going to happen in the rest of the film.

constructive criticism

• The "classified" title needs to appear longer
• The black at the end doesnt really do anything but you can still hear the music playing.
• The character changes from wearing a hoody to wearing a black top.
• You cant make out that the soldiers are the ones stamping on the character.

From  this i have learnt to make imporvements if i was going to make this film again i would make sure i  improve on the criticism in oder to make the best film possible. I have also learnt that i have made a very good film for the audience of the action thrillers.

Final Film

Here is our final film intro which we have been working on for the past few months, we have learnt a lot from doing this and hope you enjoy watching this. Here is our final film intro

Note = Some of the titles were longer and on the screen but when we rendered the film this made the film a lot smaller and not the titles, also some of the fade to blacks went a bit jumpy so please excuse them.

Our film is called = Classified



classified from Kyran Davies on Vimeo.


From making this film we have learnt a lot from this, i have learnt that in order to get a 3 second shot could take you 10 minutes to even set up. When waching films i will understand how they are made and the effort that goes into making a film.

Costumes used in the opening sequence.

In the opening sequence costume is a big part because without costume you could not tell as easy as you can that the 2 army soldiers are in the army and that they are also quite dangerous. The costume can have a massive affect on the viewer without the character actually decding to talk. Here are the costumes used in our opening sequence;

Boss = balaclava, aviators. camo jacket, camo trousers and combat  boots.

The balaclava covers most of the characters face, this adds to the sense of hidden and mystery because you do not know what they character looks like or any remarkable features on the face. The balalva is perfect for this character because we do not want to give away this characters identity.

The trousers match with the combat jacket this is so this makes the uniform look to the character, this is done to show the viewer that this person is the buisness and this character is some type of official character. This adds to the sense of being scared by this person because they are official.

 These are Aviators, these are worn by the boss with the balaclava, this is done to further hide this characters face because we did not want to viewer to see this character and what he looks like at all, also these glasses look cool and hip which shows that this character is cool and hip.

This is a combat jacket in woodland camo, this shows the viewer that this character is in the army of some sort or has been, this is perfect with the surroundings because as the film is set in the woods then this character blends into the surroundings, further showing mystery and stealth.

This is the shoes worn by this character this is done because the boots look official and also go with the jact and the trousers because these are what are worn by anyone in the forces and add the sense of being scary and also with make the character seem taller and more fearful.

Now moving onto the sam character, this is a intresting point that we have made in the film, the costume Sam is wearing is ; Blue hoody, tracksuit bottoms and trainers. These are clothes which go stereotypically with this age group but the intresting point is that these clothes will be intimidating to any normal person if you saw a teenager wearing these clothes in the street then you would feel intimidating towards this character but because there are other characters wearing camo and typical soldiers uniforms then you warm to the Sam character rather then the soldiers in the camoflague. This is the intresting point.

Sam

                                                                   This is the blue hoody which sam is wearing, the colour blue can symbolise coldness but also the feeling of help, the coldness can represent the feeling of getting in trouble and be quite cold to other characters, but the feeling of help comes out when Sam gets stood on. The hoody also means that sam is quite a lazy character and likes to wear comforatable clothes.

The trousers that Sam is wearing are grey tracksuit bottoms, the reason we have decided to chose tracksuit bottoms are because we want to further show the viewer that Sam is a lazy person and likes to wear comforatable clothes but also sporty which is good for the chase scene because Sam is a sporty character you would think that he is able to run away which he does but then trips over in the last minute so you empithise for Sam.

Overall i have realised that costume can make the audience feel certain things by the clothes they wear, this means that the audience have certain emotional bonds to the characters because what they are wearing. This is key to having good Mise-en-scene because this makes a good film.

Props used in the opening scene

In our opening scene we have many props which are used to help further the image that this film is real and to also show the audience that some of these characters fit the part perfectly, furthermore adding to the sense of realism.
     Here are the props which we used in the opening scene.

Here is the main prop used in the opening sequence. The boss is carrying the package at the start of the scene and this will also be very useful later on in the film because the film is about this package and what this package is.

   Here is the rifle which the Private carries at the start of the opening sequence, this shows that this person is dangerous and is also official because this gun looks the buisness and you wouldnt want to annoy anyone carrying this gun which also helps to signify that this character is dangerous.

Here is the shotgun which the Boss carries, this shows that this charcter is a bit old fashioned compares with the rifle which the private has, this shows the viewer that this character is even more dangerous because in order to kill someone with a shotgun you have to get quite close to them unlike the gun which the private has, This shows this character is dangerous and not to be messed with

From looking at the props used i have a clear understanding that props can add to the character's personality and make the audience feel certain emotions from what the character is holding and the way they are holding it.

Storyboard

For our film we have had to come up with a storyboard so that when we film our film we have a clear idea of what we have to do in order to structurize our film and to make it the best it can possibly be. we have made our storyboard and have turned this into a film. here is our storyboard.

Storyboard from Kyran Davies on Vimeo.

From doing this i have a structure for our film so that when we film we are able to go out and film with quality and pace,which allows us to see if we need any more footage then we have time to go back out and film.

Test footage

Before we filmed our film we decided to incluse test footage so that we are comfortable with the camera and what we couldnt and could film with the camera and also the techniques with the editing software which we would use for our final film. Here is our test footage.


testing all together from Kyran Davies on Vimeo.

From doing this i have learnt how the camera works and what the possibilities of the editing software there are. such as fades and cross fades, also with how precise the cuts between the shots can be.

Character profiles

In every film there are characters, in our opening scene there are 3 characters and 2 main characters, these consist of ;

Sam = Main character boy
Boss = Main character army soldier
Private = Secondry army soldier

Sam 

Name = Sam Meadows

Age = 16

Ocupation = Un-employed

Bio = Sam is an adventurous teenager who's favorite clothes are his blue hoody and his grey tracksuit trousers, he is designed to look like the typical stereotype wearing a hoody and trackies and gets himself into the trouble by being too adventurous, Sam likes to go on walks in the forrest and play on his computer.

Appearance = Blue hoody, grey tracksuit bottoms and black trainers. (Quite lazy clothes but a hint of sporty)

Personality = Happy and likes his own company. Thinks there is more to live then what meets the eye.


Boss

Name = Boss

Age = Unknown

Ocupation = To kill

Bio = Boss is a unusual character, not much is known about him in the film and not much will ever be given away. The bio of Boss is that he has been in the army for some time now and has worked his way up the ranks untill he became "Major". Boss likes to kill anything and everything in his path and has devoted his life to the army.

Appearance = Balaclava, Aviators, woodland camo jacket, woodland camo trousers., shotgun and combat boots.

Personality = Go to hell.


Private

Name = Private

Age = Unknown

Ocupation = Army

Bio = Private is a unknown character who has inly just signed himself up to the army and is under control of Boss, Private is a Private and is called nothing else or nothing at all.

Appearance = Camo top and shitty camo trousers with boots and a rifle.

Personality = Nice but in the wrong way.


By doing this i have learnt that by writing something about a characters personality can help bring this out in the film, also a character needs to be well thought out before the film is even made down to the last deatail. This means that you know the characters before they are even on the screen and you can reveal parts of the character bit by bit in the film.

Permissions for our film/ Copy Righting

In our film if we decided to have any music which is from any artist and has been produced by a record company then if we would like to use this then we have to ask the record company for permissions to sue this music in our film. In our film we have not decided to use any copyright music in our film so we will not provide evidence of us asking for music because we do not need this in our film. In our film our music is all from non-copyright music so we are welcome to use the music how we wish. The reason we have done this is because we may not get a reply from the record company and also we found the music which was good for our film on the non-copyright sound track so we thought this would be better to use then the more popular music.

By doing this i have learnt that in order to use any music which we hear all the time that we have to ask the record company for permission to use this music otherwise this could lead us to be fined or even prosecuted. So this is key to making a film in the future.

Our settings board for our film

We have chosen to film our film in the woodlands because ;

• The woods are mysterious
• The woods are where people can do activites without being seen.
• The woods are vast and open meaning it is a conincidence if you bump into anyone.
• The woods have spots of lights which go through the trees.
• The woods are great for filming chase because they have trees which have fallen down and they can act as obsticles to the chase making subspence in the film.
• The woods can get dark quickly and children are generally scared of the woods
• Police never venture into the woods only if someone has reported something in the woods and plus the character's would be all by themselves with no-one around them to help them.

  

 

These are shots in our film which show the woods that the film has been set in, this allows the viewer to know where they are and where the action is happening. I think having the film set in the woods is a good setting because this made our actors feel like they were secluded from the world and if anything happened then there would be no-one around to help them get out of the mess. So overall i think that this was a brilliaint setting for our film.


In our film we have also have another setting with the main boy character sat at the computer when the character falls asleep. We have chose this setting because this will link to the end of the film when the audience will see why Sam is sat at the computer and the point for him being there in the first place is. This setting shows that Sam has moved on from the woods setting and something important in that scene is going to happen.


In doing this i have learnt that the setting for a film is important because the setting itself can help the viewer feel emotions before any action has even started. This means that the director can channel the emotions he/she would like the viewer to feel before the action.

Script for our film.

In the start of our opening scene a lot of key important actions happen, although not a lot of key actions happen through the dialogue, dialogue is still important and we need a script so that the actors can know there lines in the film. This is the script that goes with the dialogue in our film;

Key = B1 = Main boy character

          M1 = Main bad character
          M2 = secondry main character

                                          B1 is sat at the computer typing away and starts to feel tired so B1 falls asleep at the computer.

There is a flashback and B1 is walking through the woods just dawdling about. Parallel to this M1 and M2 are walking through the woods and come across the spot.

M1 = Dig here!

M2 = Great place boss

M2 starts to dig whilst M1 looks around, parallel to this B1 is behind a tree over looking over the action.
After a while M2 finishes digging.

M2 = Done Boss

M1 places the package into the ground and M1 and M2 walk off.

B1 walks over to the package and investigates what they have buried but gets caugh by M1 and M2

M2= Hey!

B1 runs off through the woods.

After a short amount of running B1 falls over but M1 and M2 catches up with him. M1 stands on his head and cuts to black.

B1 awakes from being at the computer. And types "Area 51" into google.

B1 finds the picture of the alien and stands up from being at the computer.

Titles appear.

         

This is our script for our film, this has set the dialouge for our film and i have written instructions where dialouge should be said within the scene. This has helped a lot with out film and when we film we will not need to come up with dialogue. Saving time and we can put more time into our film and not into thinking of dialogue. 

The myserious package

Our audience research

As part of our task we have to research our target audience, in doing this i have made a questionaire online and published this on to the web. There is a hyperlink to the questionaire below. In hoping to do audience research i will find out what our target audience think of the action thriller genre and also what other audiences think of the genre aswell;

Click here to see the questionaire ;        http://app.fluidsurveys.com/surveys/kyrand123-T/media-studies-action-thriller-films/?TEST_DATA


From doing this i have learnt that the audience like having their action thrillers at the age of 18, this means that i am able to get trid of all guidlines to my film. in also doing this i can create the proper affect of the action thriller, in the terms of gore and swearing. I have also learnt that their is quite a lot of debate about wether to have a child under the age of 18 die or get injured in our film. We may have to go into more research about this and see wether this would be appropriate.

My institutional research and Production/Distribution

I think that Universal home entertainment or 20th Centuary fox will distiribute my film because these are both huge companies which have made films. People can tell they make great films because they are well known and they are funded huge amounts of money. I think that both of these companies will be great to distribute my film because they have both funded other action thrillers such as "The Hitcher" and "The Taken".

20th Centuary Fox

Universal Home studios

I think that both of these companies will be great to distribute my film because they have both funded other action thrillers such as "The Hitcher" and "The Taken".  Both of these films have done well in the cinema world as being action thrillers. Also the same target audience for both of these films are the same as my action thriller and i think that they would appeal to my film.

The Taken

The Hitcher

The  Distribution that will be involved...

For my film i will dirstibute my film to a wide audience, to do this i have to select the cinema which spand across the country so that a mass audience can watch my film. I will distrubute my film to the UK and America, i have known from my own knowledge that most UK cinema's are owned by the Americans so by teaming with the Americans means i can show the audience my film and make increase the chances of making a profit. In the Uk i have decided that "Vue" will show my film's in their cinema and in America i will distribute my film to "AMC theatre". These are 2 huge companies in the UK and America attracting a huge range of audience.

Vue

AMC Theatres

I think that by distributing my film to these companies will make my film sell tickets and mean that my film will be available to a huge range of auidience. By putting my film with these cinema's will be a great decision.

By researching about Institutions and Distributions means that i have clear knowledge in how my film is going to sell and which institution will fund my film, Also i have clear knowledge in where my film will be shown and what audience i am going to show my film to.

What is the BBFC and what must i do to fit into the correct classifications for my film?

The BBFC guidlines to films help prevent people of a certain age group from watching the film, this means that not anyone can watch any type of film. The BBFC has classifications to certain films, these classifications are ; U, PG, 12A, 12, 15, 18, 18R

• U - This means that anyone can watch this film of any age from a new born to the oldest living person. These films mean that they contain hints of sexual activity, like riding off into the sunset. They contain no violence or swearing because a little child could be watching this, These films are usually fairy tale stories.
• PG - This means Parental guidance, this means that for a person under the age of 12 they must have a person over the age of 18 with them to watch this film. The reason there is PG is because the films contain more violence, sexual references and swearing in the film then a U rated film.
• 12A - This means that this film has more sexual references, swearing and violence then the average 12 but not enough to become a 15 rated film, the "A" shows the viewer that this film is near the same context as a 15 film.
• 12 - This means that anyone who is above the age of 12 can watch this film. These films contain maybe a kiss and a hint of the act of sex. They may contain some blood and swearing but still not enough to become a 15.
• 15 - This means anyone who is above 15 can watch this film, these films would usually contain all the aspects which a 18 film would have but there would be no heavy swearing or too much gore for the viewer to feel un-comforatable watching, but non the less the film would still contain these aspects which make up the 18.
• 18 - This means that anyone who is above 18 can watch this film, these usually contain films with heavy referances to ; Sex, swearing, violence and gore. The BBFC would classify this film as an 18 because they would believe that someone who is under 18 would not "handle" the film.
• 18R - This means an 18 film but is "R" rated, this means that this film is based around sex, unlike the 18 classification the film relies heavily on sex and that is the main genre for the film. The rating of the "R" shows the viewer that the film relies on sex and is still an 18.

By researching about film guidlines this has given me the knowledge about the ratings of films. This has given me guidlines to my film and that how picking the rating of my film will decide my target audience. This is key to picking the right audience for my film, this has also helped my develop my knowledge in how much gore and sexual referances i can put in my film to fit the right age categories.
       I think my action thriller film will be a 18 because i have not seen any action thrillers that are below the age rating of 15. I  think the reason for choosing the 18 classiffication is because this means i can put as much gore and swearing in my film as much as i want. Many good films are 18's because there are no guidlines for the directors to stick to.

By doing this i have learnt about the BBFC and that every film has to be classified so that the wrong audience does not watch the film that might be out of there age limit and i have also learnt that with differant age groups that there are certain things in the flim that you have to incluse in order to get into that age group.

Brtish board of Film Classification

Textural analysis of The Matrix Reloaded

To make our film opening well, we will have to look at existing films in order to work out what we need to do for our film we will analyse the opening 2 minutes to "The Matrix Reloaded" which is a film to the same genre as ours;

Matrix Reloaded

Matrix reloaded

1)      The first scene you see is a black screen with green neon symbols drizzling down the screen in a vertical line, the symbols appear in different places with many symbols appearing. The music gets louder as the symbols appear and this sounds like it comes from a musical instrument that you blow into.

2)      The next scene is the symbols which appear get more and more gradual as more appear in vertical lines and these symbols are picked out in a horizontal line and spell “The Matrix” this is still in the same neon green colour but they are letters and not symbols. Then the “The Matrix” comes into the screen and behind that is the word “Reloaded” this is still in the symbols and the music gets louder and quieter (still from the same instrument).

3)      The green symbols get faster and faster moving up and down the screen but they turn to almost appear they are coming out of the camera and towards a green circle in the centre of the screen, the music is gradually getting louder.

4)      The circle in the middle of the screen gets bigger and the circle appears to be in the centre of some galaxy, like the Milky Way, the music is louder and appears more instruments have joined this single instrument.

5)      As the camera zooms out from the galaxy more and more galaxies pass the screen getting faster and faster passed the screen, this in the ends forms into one of the symbols from the start of the screen. The music has turned into a choir together producing an echo sound.

6)      The next scene the camera zooms out and more and more symbols pass the screen flying all over the screen in different positions, the music is still the same then before but hundreds of symbols are flying over the screen.

7)      The next scene the symbols are formed to make some tower like structure with the symbols interlocking with each other, this appears to be like the Empire state building, in the background many other symbols appear to be forming some structures from the symbols. The music is still the same.

8)      Carrying on from the scene before the symbols appear to be turning into cogs and there has been a base floor formed from these symbols, the music is still the same then before and the camera is orbiting around the structure in many different positions.

9)      The next scene is where the cog has been zoomed into and the cog spins with numbers appearing on the cog, this is from the symbols which are on the cog, the music has still not changed from the beginning but has gradually got quieter and then louder again.

10)  The symbols have made tubes with numbers on and the background has made tubes which intertwine each other, the symbols are starting to make some structure in the background. The music is still the same.

11)  The symbols zoom out to form a clock and the symbols dissolve from symbols to the real world and the clock is at 12 0’clock, the music comes to a halt when the clock dissolves from symbols to the real world.

Matrix reloaded

I have learnt that for our opening scene we need to grab the audience from their seats in order to keep our audience intrested in our film and set the film up with the story so that the viewer to get a grip with the film.

Defining our Target audience for our Action thriller

Things that define a target audience are;

• Age
• Gender
• Interests
• Social economic status (A - E)
• Nationality

Age and Gender
After discussion we have decided that our target audience is going to be Males between the ages of 18 - 45. We have done this because we think our film would be an "18" certificate from the BBFC because all of the action scenes and the swearing with the gore that our film might have will not be suitable for a young child to sit down and watch and I believe the most people to watch our film would be in the early 20’s because they will go out with their friends and watch an 18 certificate because they enjoy watching the films and they are always up for a laugh.

Social Economic status

Our audience will be D to C1, which means from the working class to the lower middle class. We have chosen this because this section covers most of the population and the people within these classes would go to the cinema to watch this film because action thrillers are what people like to see because it gets the viewer off their seat and gives the viewer a rush which they like.

Nationality

Our nationality of our audience will be of any nationality because our film can be shown anywhere in the world as long as they change the language, we have chosen any language because our film will not dis-grace any country in it so I believe a person of every nationality will be able to watch the film and enjoy it because everyone loves a good action thriller. i believe the main nationality of our audience would be British and American because they can understand the language of the film and the Americans support most of the British cinema and they would like to see the film.
        
Interests

  The interests of our target audience will be that they like to watch thriller films because someone who watches thrillers would understand what they get when they watch them, someone who watches adventure films may not understand the brutality that a thriller film has because they are just not use to watching this type of film.


By doing all of this research has allowed me to have a clear image of our stereotypical watcher of our film and we can be put in their shoes abd imagine what they would like to see in our Action thriller.



Our typical film viewer



Our preliminary task

For out preliminary  task we hade to film someone walking through a door and having a conversation with someone, we had to also include a match on action to show the examiner that we could use a match on action properly before going out to film our final opening 2 minutes.
                                     Here is our preliminary  task;



Film task one from Kyran Davies on Vimeo.


We have learnt from this that we could use a match on action well and that we have learnt a  lot of things from the camera and the quality the camera held. I was the camera operator and Alex walked through the door and started talking to Sam.

The codes and convention's of Action thriller's

My first task is to research the codes and conventions of my Sub-genre which i have chosen, I will be writing about how the codes and conventions used in my sub-genre help contribute to the overall success of the film. I am researching the codes and conventions of this sub-genre because this will help me understand what i am letting myself into by choosing this sub-genre as part of my coursework, the codes and conventions will set a guideline for what I must do in my film, these are the typical features that these films often have and that distinctively set the sub-genre apart from any other, these are what the viewer will often look for to tell the genre of the film and see if the film is any good, so by researching the codes and conventions will help me a lot when filming and planning my film.

The codes and conventions in Action thriller films.

I will split this category into 3 groups;

• Technical (camera shots & techniques)
• Symbolic ( clothing & colours)
• Written and audio (music)

Technical

• Action thriller films often have a low lighting on the bad characters to show the audience that these characters are bad and they have shadows on their  face making them dark and mysterious.

Mysterious person



• Action thriller's have fast paced cuts between shots to keep the viewer off their seat during the heat of the action.
• Action thriller's also have extreme close up's on the characters faces to show their expression and their emotion when all the action and tense moments are happening.

Symbolic

• The characters often have blood on their body to show the viewer that they have been close to the action and drama which would lead to them having blood onto them.
• The charcaters often start with nice clean clothes and end the film with their clothes being scruffy which is a symbol for their situation and they started all happy and now they are distrought which is in their clothes.

  

  Nice clean clothes

  

• The characters are normally in their late teens when they are stereotypically most likely to go out partying with their friends and get into sticky situation's.

Partying teenagers



Written and Audio

• Action thriller's have faced paced and dramatic music to help add to the tense moments to create supspense and to match the action that is happening with the music
• The characters often scream to add affect that the position they are in they dont like and never wanted to get into that situation.
• Action thrillers often have music to suit the characters personality, e.g when a bad guy enters the frame the viewer would hear dark music because the character is bad and this lets the viewer know.



Green zone


The things i have learnt from doing this research about this sub-genre are;

• I know what i must do to make my film fit into this sub-genre and what the target audience will exect to see in my film.
• I have a clear mind in which sub-genre i will make for my final film. 
• I know how the camera which we are going to watch feels like and the many things we can do with the camera in terms of positioning and the quality of the image. 

What sub-genre have we chosen for our film?

 After discussion me and Alex have chosen "Action Thriller" as out sub-genre for our film. We have chosen this as a sub-genre because we have the resources available to us to do this thriller film, we have costumes and settings to us to be able to do this and we think that as a pair that we would be able to do this sub-genre the easiest then the others, we have also chosen Action thriller because we would be able to re-create secenes in the thrillerand we could look like children and the soldiers so we do not need to have that many people in our film and less people means that they will be more reliable.
                            Some films with this sub-genre for their film are ;



 

The Hitcher






Salt




Taken

  From doing this i have learnt about the sub-genres in films and about how genre is dieing out but these new genres are being born. Also i have learnt what sub-genre we are going to do in our film and how this will be important for our film.

What are the sub-genre's of Thriller films?

Thriller films are a selection of huge sub-genres, this means that when people say that they are going to watch a Action thriller film they are going to watch a sub-genre of Action thriller films because we don’t go to the cinema to just watch thriller films, we go to see the sub-genre which we like; for example for someone who doesn't like historical thriller but they might like Techno thriller but they are still thriller films.
           Here are the Sub-genres of Thriller films;

• Adventure thriller's
• Disaster thriller's
• Historical thriller's
• Medical thriller's
• Religious thriller's
• Serial killer thriller's
• Technology thriller's
• Action thriller's

This is going to help me with my planning of my film because i am able to look at the sub-genre's of Thrillers and see which sub-genre i can do because they have their own codes and conventions to each sub-genre. by taking apart the thriller genre and looking at the sub-genres it means that i can have a clear mind about which sub-genre i am going to chose and i can meet the requirements of that genre.
