Thriller Collage

I created a thriller collage of DVD Covers, Film posters , Typical thriller scenes, Costumes, Lighting and Props. I did this to develop my knowledge on key aspects of a thriller.  Instantly you can tell that the collage is a thriller because of the colour scheme, which includes black as its associated with death which is very common in a thriller, black also gives a sense of mystery and suspense as its a very unrevealing colour. Blue is also used which is a very emotionless colour that describes some of the characters personality in a thriller ( Murderer, Cold blooded ). Green represents jealousy which can be a common theme in a thriller.  The lighting in each individual set design photo is  dimmed and dark blueish , this may be done to create mystery as the lighting can cover the killers identity and keeps the audience guessing. Dimming the lighting can also create a sense of suspense as it tells the audience something is going to happen. The characters create mystery as they are commonly dressed in dark clothing which  doesnt give away the characters personality straight away,  they also dont give a lot of information away through their facial expressions.  You realise its thriller based due to the type of characters involved: Cop, Detective, Hooded killer and Victims which are all common characters played. The props consist of guns, police tape, torches and blueprints which also tells the viewer that the genre of the collage is a thriller. The location is a key aspect of a thriller as they are mainly based in the adult-world like Cities, Houses and Warehouses, as you can see these types of locations are present in my collage.
