Another Student Thriller Analysis



I like this thriller, as it avoids giving a view of the character's face, which leads to the wonderful aspect of mystery, also there is the element of potential voyeurism, with the viewing of him taking apart and reloading the handgun. The predominant use of low shots and over the shoulder shots, also relate to the dark atmosphere, although there does not seem to be a great deal of editing within this sequence.
Although the shot of the girl at the end with the gunshot, looks slightly improfessional, as it reveals the victim, and what happens to her, from the antagonist's point of view, sadly unravelling all of the suspense created by the mystery of not knowing who the antagonist is.
Apart from that the camerawork, is the best part of this sequence, and what we aim to attain, focusing on mainly low shots, as we already have a vaguely revealing (but mostly concealing) shot of the antagonist's face.
