Conventions of Thrillers

Black and White

As a group we think that if we set our film in a black and white theme it will help draw the audience in and will make the film more thrilling. Whilst using the black and white theme we think it would be a good idea to depict the colour red through-out the whole of the scene. As thrillers are usually aimed at a niche audience this black and white theme would also be appropriate for that type of audience.

I think it would be a good to use this theme; however we should base it on people who have a colour blindness disorder called Protanomaly, this disorder means that the person see mostly black and white but also some pigments of red, blue and pink, setting our thriller in this perspective give an added effect to the audience. This disorder could  help add effect to our psychological based thriller.    

The image above is from the film 'the man who wasnt there' that was produced in black and white in 2001, it shows us that the theme adds an extra effect, it makes the image look older than that it is, when films are set in black and white it helps set the scene for the audience.
