19/1/10:For media homework we were assigned to find trailer clips of thriller films. these are trailer clips that i decided to link to the main theme genre, thriller, i will be looking at sub genres such as psychological, espionage, sci-fiction and medical thrillers.

My first trailer is a famous film by Alfred Hitchcock "psycho". the opening shows of restricted shots which we can assume is in the bathroom due to a dead woman's body in the shower while a man who's faces has been restricted off through dark lighting slowly walks up to the camera with a knife in his hand . this already gives of enigma codes that there is something unusual going on. Yet the editing and sound has a non-deiegitc soundtrack (of the famous psycho music) setting the audience a basic understanding of what genre is as the quick pace action in non linear shows confusion and tension this relates to the movie yet not giving the plot away this create theater of the mind. The font of the title matches to the climax at the ending with "psycho" written in braggadocio white blocks with strikes red in the background connoting blood.

with most psychological films there is always one mentally ill person, who might have a traumatic experiences such as Norman Bates who was attached to his mother until she died thus making him have two personality's. This is a psychological film i would like to base my own thriller on having the main character with mental problems would give a suspension on what actions and movements they will make almost as they are playing a chess games with the victims.

Spy game is set in America where Brad Pitt (a espionage) getting himself caught in china. This leads to Robert Redford to save him.

As the major label appears on screen the logo shows of jogging special effects while there's a sound effect of a mans voice over we are directly introduced to the main protagonist as theres a action an tell where the film has been set through the master shots of America buildings.

The cut is also fast pace to show action codes to the audience the espionage genre is one of my favourites however can be easily made into a cheesy comedy or pure rubbish's. Spy film are supposed to have lots of quick editing and spacial effects although needs to still looks more realistic this can be the most downfall of sub genres in my mind due to the "Hollywood make over", exaggerated things such as "spy game" with Brad Pitt hair piece making him seem to be "younger" only to make him older.

other thrillers such as sci-fiction can be more difficult to make such as Jurassic park, since i don't have time or money to create a realistic film either having a futuristic feel or something that happen back in time would be complicated due to the amount of props that would be brought or made. The mise-en-scene is set in the past such as huge forests companied by dinosaurs, most sci fiction would be filmed in exotic areas (such as the Arttic or rain forest)
