Thriller 4 - sin city

limited colour from the start: black, white and red
no one centralized to start, don't know who it the antagonist and the protagonist
man put his hand in his jacket and waits a second before getting out his cigarettes as if a small dramatic pause
we get the first close ups of the character and at first the woman appears to be the bad person in the scene
shot reverse shot of them talking with the man having the most of the screen time.
there kiss is vectored to show the intensity of it.
begins to rain to show that everything isn't perfect.
they kiss again but after we only see the woman smiling as if the man didn't enjoy it as much as she did.
the roles begin to change as instead of the woman seeming like the bad one the man is at this point.
after this we see a small flash and the woman jolts and we know that she has been shot.
we only see the womans really nice side befor she dies but then it is to late.
we then see the gun to confirm that he has shot her
we see a birds eye veiw of them on the floor with the man holding the woman and the man looking to sky to tell us that he didnt want to do this
the camera finally zooms out and we see where this is set, "sin city"






Thriller 3 - Grand prix

the film opens with basic white text on a black background. this doesn't have much meaning to the audience but the camera then zooms out and we see that the black was the inside of an exhaust pipe and the font of the text is the same text as grand prix text.
the main shots in the opening are cu and ms to show the cars and the quality of them to the watcher to show what the film is about.
we then see tools being used to tighten up the cars and make them more up for racing. this shows the audience the precision involved in race cars
we then see the engine of the car to show what the car uses to move.
the opening is slowly showing us what makes the car work. this gives the audience a better understanding of the film
we then see the fans of the grand prix which show the popularity of the sport and the kind of people who are fans. the child in the shot shows that it is a family sport.
there is then a series of shots of the drivers. this shows us how unsafe the sport is and the risk the drivers put them selves under.

Thriller 2 - Mission Impossible II

extreme long shot to establish where this scene is taking place, it also shows us that there is no one around.
tom cruise is climbing a cliff with no ropes to save him if he falls. this shows how extreme he is and that he has no fears.
the cliffs are red to connote the danger of what he is doing
we see his rest which tells us that even though he is a fine specimen of man he isn't perfect.
shots are dominated with els and ls to show us the how extreme what he is doing is and that if he falls he will die.
he leans back on the cliff which once again shows how daring he is as he leaning off a cliff hundreds or thousands of feet in the air.
his jump from one part of the cliff to another showings again how fearless he is but also show his agility.
he then slips and hangs on the edge of the cliff. this show his strenghth and power as he can hold himself easily.
also as he is hanging we see his face. but when we see it there isnt much emotion on his face other than determination which shows another part of him.
Tom then reaches the top of the cliff and we see how far he is climbed and we get the idea of how dangerous the task he has done just was
