Analysis of Micro Elements in Thriller Project

Sound
The soundtrack is impressive, the pace of the music matches the action on screen and the change of instrument gives the effect of suspense and then a chase. The heartbeat effect is good as it shows the characters increasing nerves and when at the bush it increases to show a build-up of the cliffhanger.


Editing
At the end of the video the tempo is slow to show that the protagonist has been captured and allows the audience to realize what has happened. The colour changes to black and white which makes the ending negative and thrilling. The jump cuts from feet to feet depict the chase is on and then it speeds up to show the "prowler" is after the protagonist.

Mise-en-Scene
Use of props are normal the bag and jewelery is common for a female character whereas the antagonist does not give too much away as he has his hands covered up and clothed in black. This makes it obvious to the audience that he is the antagonist. Colors are appropriate for the thriller, dark colours shows the nature of the thriller as it is negative throughout. Lighting is natural and is not enhanced until the last part of the video because it is slightly dark then the rest of it, moving away from continuity.  

Cinematography
We used jump cuts between the feet of the stalker and Heidi to show how fast the stalker was to her and how he was following here move for move. We also did a tracking shot from in a bush to make it seem like somebody is watching her and trying not to be seen, this is a good effect to show how vulnerable she is and how unaware she is. We used a long tracking shot to show how far she had to run and also to show how fast she was running. We used a head cam shot to give the audience a feel of what she was seeing and going through.
