Through the Eye - Analyzing last years thriller

The makers of through the eye have used many meathods in order to increace the effectiveness of their thriller. For example, the sound is effectively used in order to establish and build tension throughout the clip. The dark, disconcerting background music indicates to the audience that something is soon going  to happen and sets you on edge, this feeling is enhanced at the end of the clip when there is a high pitched screech, possibly indicating that the man being beaten up in the survallence tape has been killed and highlights the horror of the fact that the security gard is paying no interest in the tape.

  

The angles from which the camera is shot at also adds to the effectiveness of the thriller, the camera veers to the left and right enabling the audience to take in each aspect of the scene clearly for example, the camera zooms in on the survelence tape, showing a jubious looking man, before veering to show the security guard, not paying attention. This also adds a feeling that the camera is the audiences eyes, and that immediately you are included in the scene. We also don’t see the security guards face up until this point, this adds an uneasy, eerie feel to the charactor and indicates that he cannot be trusted.

The use of colour also adds to the effectiveness of the thriller. Over the entire scene a dark background is used, this encourages the audience’s attention to be drawn to the lit up surveillance tape. It also sustains an uneasy, feeling throughout as you cannot see what is happening around. Colour is also used when highlighting the perpertrator in the survallence video, he stands out due to his red top in the surrounding black and white scene, this denotes danger,  anger and blood.

The use of costume is also effective, although we cannot see the security officers face until the end of the film, we know of his role due to the fact that we  catch a glimpse of his epaulette on his shoulder. The audicne can also guess the role of the perpetrator in red, due to his gangster-style hodded cloathing.

Overall I feel that the thriller, “Through the eye” is very effective due to the way in which the zoomed camera shots are used to convay tension and highten the atmosphere throughout. I also thaught that the way in whoch colour is used order to draw the audiences attention is very effectiave. However I do feel that the plotline and message of the thriller is very loose .
