First real coursework lesson - 4/2/10

This lesson was just basically based around what a Thriller really is.
We came up with a few ideas, like the fact that it involves tension and a storyline that will really grab the audience's attention with even maybe a few twists and turns throughout.
We watched a few opening sequences of thrillers which really allowed me to think about how I was going to try and capture the attention of the audience, because the first part of a film is where it is done.
We then watched the opening sequence of the film 'Usual Suspects' which really put across suspense and made me want to know exactly what it going on and allowed me to realise that was what I was going to try and do.
