Our group consists of Danielle Irwin, Charlotte Coyle and Sophie Dow. To begin with, we felt our knowledge of the thriller genre needed to be widened, therefore we investigated the different conventions by watching many thrillers.
To summarise what we had learnt so far in the project, we put everything together into a presentation, which can be found attached. Within our presentation, we showed an extract of The Life of David Gale, and explained the different conventions it holds and subverts. This also helped our classmates gain extra knowledge on the genre, as well as, improve our understanding.
As we became able to understand the basics of thriller conventions, we started to investigate sub-genres, by looking at Film Noir. We learnt the different characteristics of this genre, by undertaking independant research, and by watching some examples, such as, Double Indemity. Once we knew exactly what Film Noir was, in our groups, we took five photographs in the style of it. We did this by putting them in black and white, using mirrors/reflections, and silhouettes. These photos are attached below.
