Even
through our group hopes to film a thriller sequence that will be original and surprising, there are certain aspects within our thriller concept that mimic other media
products. In other words although the storyline that we have produced is unique
there are aspects within the mise-en-scene, sound, editing style, and camera
angles/shots that we hope to use that have been used well in other media
products. Two media pieces that I personally believe are similar in a way to
our thriller sequence are the film fight club and the thriller Se7en.
Fight Club is a 1999 psychological thriller/drama
directed by David Fincher, starring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton. The film is
honored for its complex plot, thought provoking quotes and ending twist. In my
opinion this film reflects some of the aspects that we’d like to capture within
our sequence. First of all the film is edited in a slowly paced manner, this
allows the audience to analyse the mise-en-scene and dialogue carefully. I think
that our thriller will look similarly as our build up towards the shoot outside
will be gradual and built upon by hints and actions revealed throughout the
carefully planned out sequence. Moreover we would like to capture the audience
with our thriller by using increasingly louder soundtracks and different types
of panning shots. That is exactly what Fight Club does and it is what we will
certainly utilize. Moreover there is a twist present in Fight Club that is surprising
and astonishing. I think that through our twist we would like to achieve the
same type of reaction in our audience that is another similarity between our
future media product and Fight Club.
Se7en is a on the other hand a 1995 psychological
Thriller as well directed by David Fincher. I think based upon the following
two media pieces it can be said that our sequence will possess a sense of
affinity towards Fincher’s style.
Similarly to Fight Club Se7en is paced slowly and is very detailed in
its use of Mise-en-Scene and sounds when it comes to dialogue. So once again
this are the exact aspects our group will try to capture within our sequence
Additionally Se7en uses strong contrast and lightning to produce a sense of
mystery as well as build tension and suspense throughout the film. Our group
will similarly try to incorporate lighting to create strong contrasts and over
the course of the sequence to change the appearance of the characters and
situation that they are from light towards a more thrilling and contrasting dimness.
I think that this are the similarities present between our future production
and Se7en that we had hoped to incorporate before even realizing that they
reflect Flinchers style so much. Although I think that it is a good thing that
our groups thriller concept reflects aspects of some of the most amazing
thriller ever produced.
