Unaware of the fact that the lover who he had an affair with witnessed this murder. The lover kidnaps the wife and black males her. This is a psychological thriller. Our film is a homage to obsessed and phone booth as these are both psychological thrillers.

The Dark Knight

In the first frame the scene is set for the film, we are given an overview of Gotham City Batmans home, this gives us an idea of what will happen, only from the camera view.

This next frame shows the audience the character of the story men in clown masks who are committing the crimes. This then links the audience to the joker who dresses like a clown. This is a big part as we know that the joker will be an important character.

In frame three we see a man from behind carrying a clown mask. We dont see the mans face which means that the audience are waiting to find out what   he is doing. The audience may assume that he is going to commit a crime.

We see that they are committing a robbery in a bank. It would be thought why are they robbing a bank, which would make the audience want to continue watching as they are intrigued.

In the fifth frame we find out that the men are skilled hackers. They are capable of using high tech equipment. Throughout they use props such as guns. This shows their position of power over everyone else.

They use a grenade to show their power, the actions of the criminals causes the man to panic, this shows that he is subordinate and doesn't own much power at this point. The camera is looking up towards the clown criminal which also shows the lack of power.

We see that that the criminals are bigger than just robbers. This creates mystery and suspense as we are not aware of how they came into being criminals.

This frame shows a well dressed smart, skilled man from the bank. Who is fighting against the men and that people are not as scared. This helps the audience understand what is going on in the scene.

We are shown the front of the mask but still we do not know who the man behind the mask is. This is still a mystery that the audience would be intrigued to find out.

Seven

At the beginning it is clear to see how organised the detective is as he has everything placed out in an order for when he picks it all up. Detective David Mills and Detective William R. Somerset investigate a series of murders relating to the seven deadly sins. 



These first two frames are used to represent Gluttony as we are not sure who the murderer is.











An obese man was forced to feed himself to death, this represented Gluttony. Each crime scene has a series of clues relating to other deaths and they believe they are chasing a serial killer. 

Fingerprints are found at the scene of the murder which represented greed.

Find an emaciated man strapped to a bed. He initially appears to be dead but it is soon discovered that the man, a drug deal and sexual deviant before he was captured had been kept alive by the killer for exactly one year to the day he was found. The victim, who soon dies after being found represents the sin of sloth. Unable to learn anything from the lifeless victim the detectives agree that these crimes have been planned for more than a year.




Detective Somerset is invited to meet Detective Mills wife, and Somerset becomes Tracy's confidant as she meets with him after the first few murders. Learning that she is pregnant but has not told her husband, Somerset confides in her his fear that the city is not place to start a family.

Somerset and Mills track down a man 'John Doe' who has frequently checked out books related to the deadly sins. When Doe finds the detectives approaching his apartment he opens fire on them and leaves, chased by Mills. Doe holds Mills at gunpoint, abruptly leaves. Investigation of his apartment finds clue leading to another potential victim. They arrive too late to find their 'lust' victim, a prostitute killed by a man. Forced by Doe to rape and kill her.

Sometime later they investigate the death of a young model whose face had been mutilated. Having chosen to kill her father than live with a disfigured face, she is the victim of pride.

As they return to the police station, Doe appears to them and offers himself for arrest, he has the blood of the model and an unidentified victim on his hands. They find out that he had been cutting skin off his fingers to avoid leaving fingerprints. Doe claims he will lead the detectives to the last two bodies and confesses to the crimes.


After arriving at a location, a delivery van approaches, Somerset intercepts the driver, leaving Mills and Doe alone. The driver hands over a package he was instructed to deliver at precisely this time and location. Mills holds Doe at gunpoint, Doe mentions how much he admires him. Somerset opens the package and flinches in horror. Doe reveals that the box contains Tracy's head. He represents the sin of Envy, he was jealous of Mills normal life and killed Tracy after failing to play husband with her.




He taunts Mills with the knowledge that Tracy was pregnant. Somerset is unable to contain Mills as he unloads his gun to Doe becoming the sin of Wrath.

Evaluation module 1 research portfolio

1- Complete - do we know who did what?
I think I achieved a level 3. I knew who was doing what in each task as we decided this and then wrote it on the blog, there is a bit more to be included.

2- Useful research and demonstrate learning or just copying? (researched what was asked?)
For the research i think a level 2 was achieved. There was some research we understood but it wasn't very detailed.

3- Care/creativity in the presentation.
I think that I have a level 2 for the presentation as it was clear but didn't have much originality it was just a block of writing instead of a video or poster.

4- Time management - does it look like 4hrs per student per week for 5 weeks?
A level 2 was achieved for the time management as it was mostly completed except for a few minor parts. But looking at the blog it doesn't look like 4hrs a week.

Improvements to be made?
To improve to get to the next level I think that i could make sure that my time management is better and make sure that I include clear presentations and have them more creative.

What have I done well?
I think that the preliminary task that we produced was good as it included everything that needed to be in the task and also the fact that before we started we didn't know much about using cameras or thriller films and then to be able to produce one ourselves is an achievement.

Overall i think that i achieved a high level 2 mark, this being 11/20.

Surveillance film

This film is a remake of how we interpreted seven. We created this on final cut pro. Dark lighting, scratchy films and shaky camera movements were used. All of these help to create suspense and mystery at the beginning of a film making it perfect for the thriller genre.

Thriller Plot

What was about to happen was far beyond what the girls would have expected. Four girls were just hanging around the park, when a  man in a long dark jacket approached them slowly, turning this way and that as if he was admiring each of them. One of the girls had recognised him from earlier on that night but not thought anything of it. He was stalking them! The mystery and suspense rises as the girls suddenly realise that this is not only a one off but in actual fact a life time disaster.
