Shot distances.
We used a mixture of all different shot distances throughout our thriller. For example when we wanted to show a lot of emotion from one character, we used a long shot to show their whole body language, and this told the audience how they felt. If we used a close up this was also to emphasise a certain emotion of a character.

Shooting appropriate material.
Before we actually started filming we made sure everyone knew exactly what they was doing and when they needed to do it. We also made sure that everyone had an understanding of exactly was going to be in each frame. The opening scene is of me Karishma and Tobi all walking into the fair, with Edwin following us. This for one, introduces the characters, it also sets the scene of where we are and the mood we are in. And it also asks the question straight away; “why is Edwin following us?” We then show us actually in the fair, and Edwin is still chasing us. Later on we show Karishma and Tobi going on a ride and Edwin follows them on to it. However only Edwin comes of, this is to outline their murder. Then we show their funeral scene and how Ian is in the way of Edwin getting “close” to me. It then goes to Edwin’s house and we show him with a knife, showing that he is now ready to kill Ian as well.

Editing, transitions and effects.
We use mainly straight cuts and jump cuts, as this is more natural. However thrillers are not calm, so we want ours to be catching as create tension as well. The editing is at a set pace as this helps us create suspense and keep the audience interested. We also use cross dissolve and fading transitions between some shots to show how moods change as well as the setting does. We also used rain affect on the funeral scene, to show that it was a dull and unhappy day.
Mise-en-scene.The murderer wears black and gray to show a dull, mysterious, suspicious character. I wear black at the funeral as this connotes death and grief. However at the funfair scene I am wearing a more colourful top to show I still have life.
Mostly everything in our frame was there for a reason. For example the graves at the graveyard, to symbolise the fact that two people have died, I am at their funeral and am grieving over their death.

Using sound with images.
The only sound we have is music. This is put over all the natural sound, so we can no longer hear the natural sound of talking and cars ect. This music is a heartbeat that gets faster and gains more beat as it goes on. This is to build up tension and create suspense. We introduce our characters and the scene starts of with a slow, steady heartbeat. As we reach the climax of our thriller the music gets faster, then as we reach the end, and predict what will happen it gets slower again.
