I have decided to write about the different elements used in the thriller film Devil. Devil was released on September 17th, 2010.
I have decided to do Devil as there are a lot of little things that inspire me and make me want to put in my thriller opening. There are many different camera shots used in the film mostly clos-up. This is good because as it is a thriller film it will be intence and will show us how the charactor is feeling. The close-up's will show the expression on the charactors face which will give a certain feeling to the audeince on what is happening. Also from the start of the film there are loads of long shots used to show the area the film is based in. It shows a very busy city with a lot of sky scrapers. This is good as it may give a sence of peace to the audience. This inspires me to do this at the start of my thriller opening. To give a long shot of a desserted town instead and show the viewers where the film will be based. Another thing about the camera angles that interested me was that whilst the guards were looking over the people trapped in the lift. It would be a high angle shot of the lift and those within it. It almost gave us the chance to know how the guards are looking on the situation.
I found the plot of the film to be very good. The film is mainly based inside a cramped lift with 5 people. I thinks it was good in how they decided to make it to be 3 men and 2 women stuck inside the lift. This is because when the attacks start happening it is very confusing to pick out who done it if it was anyone. Another thing which took my interest was that how everyone in the lift looked middle aged however only one charcter was old. In the end it shows that the Devil had took over the old womans body. This will again surprise the audience that the person least expected is infact the killer (Devil).
Another thing about Devil that inspiers me is the amount of cuts that they used in the film. Neally every miniute there is a cut. This shows suspence as almost you can never take a rest. It gives excitment and also a thrill to watch as anything can happen. Also by using a ot of cuts it takes up less time as you can show more in one go. This is good as we will only have a limited time for out thriller opening so we would need to put as much in, in a small amount of time. The film as i said is mainly based in the lift and the security room of the building. whats interests me is how they would always cut from them two scenes and show no where else. It was really good in how it showed communication between the guards and the people trapped in the lift. In certain parts of the film there is nothing shown only diegetic sounds. This isterested me as it excites the viewer because as nothing can be seen and something only heard. It almost leaves a cliff-hanger as the audience will get more thrilled to know what was going on in the dark.
