Practice Shots

 This is an example of a tilt shot which creates a distortion that suggests a lot visually about the subjects life. In our thriller, our main character is a homeless man and the effect of this angle then shows how his life is not so straightforward.

 This is an example of a close up which is essential to tell the audience of the emotions of the main subject. It is particularly key for our Thriller as he is meant to witness a murder and therefore the facial expression is crucial in order to make it believable and more suspenseful. The other close up of the brick shows in detail all the key features of the person that tells the audience what sort of person they are. For example, in 'Kill Bill', where we only see Bill's watch and handkerchief in which, without revealing too much about himself, already suggests that he is bold and confident. This can be linked to themes of misogyny, like Eminem who displays many flashy jewelry which along with his explicit lyrics, suggests his hatred of women.

 This is an example of a vanishing point which can connote detachment from society or emotion. It also highlights the surroundings which is effective for our Thriller by presenting an unglamorous and dull setting which is a thriller convention and can be seen in films such as 'Essex Boys' and 'Jackie Brown'.

 This is an intertextual reference to 'Jackie Brown' and is an example of a worms eye view. Like Melanie, our character displays signs of vulnerability - with Melanie being inferior to Ordell and Louis, and with our character having no food or shelter therefore making him weaker due to deprivations. The worms eye view therefore has many connotations by it being nearly level with the subject suggesting that he is at a low point in his life.
