Creating the Blood

When I made the blood in the thriller, i did a few experiments keeping in mind that everyone in our group wanted the blood to be able to wash off. So after a few experiments I decided to use powder paint as the main ingredient. What follows here is the list of ingredients that I used, and the ruff amount of the ingredients.

• Red Powder paint about 80%
• Black powder paint about 10%
• porridge oats about 5%
• About 1% of washing up liquid
  
• The rest of it was water.

These ingredients I mixed together, in a jar, making it a thick blood like texture, sealing it in a Jar I put it in a microwave for a few seconds to create a vacuum and so the ingredients would not separate straight away.

Rough cut movie R2-52

This is our rough cut on our thriller. We kept to the 180 degree rule. There are two people acting in this thriller; and they are Angle and Phil. The camera man, director, stunt co-ordinator, editor and composer is done by Steve. Tim also did some editing. I tried to make the music go with the intensity of the movie to create the mood.

I think to improve this we could make it look as if it is night time as this would make it seem more scary. We would also take more takes and from many different angles and ranges so we can choose the best.

Usual suspects Analisis

The 'Usual suspects' thriller opening shows example of the visual element of darkness. Also it shows you the character types of submissive, dominance. There is a use of a weapon and fire as examples of visual imagery. The sound in it is quite eerie, which adds to the tension and mystery of the opening sequence. The Characters in the opening sequence you can tell are bad because of the lack of panic, and the friendly communication between the murder and victim. Lastly the opening sequence to 'Usual suspects' shows you a wide range of visual cinematic, along with sound witch gives you a successful opening to what looks like a very good thriller.
