#4

lesson four consisted of watching physco, dun dun dun dun! literally. We had to watch a scene from physco and count how many times the camera cut shot. Oh my lord i've never seen so many in my life. Altogether we managed to count 67 ish? The different effects on this particular scene made the whole thing work very well, after the action had happened (when most of the cutting of camera shots had taken place) the director used different editing skills to create the atmosphere after the killing.

film

well last night, watched a thriller, well what they call it a thriller. Paranormal Activities. More like daily activities. However, the way that it has all been set out was in great detail. The beginning bit, basically setting out the whole story within 10 - 15 minutes? Throughout the film i'd say that it was mainly a point of view camera because one of the characters appears to be filming it all. The director had managed to set the tension consistantly all the way through the film, as with each scene, came more drama and heart racing opportunities. I wouldn't say this is the best of the thriller genre because it was quite slow in the story line however, i'd recommend it for a night in.
