Thrillers

Whilst edititng our Media film we brought some new ideas to the table, something i personally felt strongly about was making the film look more like an Arthouse film than a big Blockbuster, and a way of doing this would have been to put the film in black and white, by doing this the film would look more creative, but we collectivly saw that some of the mise en scene that we has specifically created such as the use of red nail vanish on the victim's hand, this dramatic look was lost and therefore the feeling of horror and anticipation in the whole movie was lost.
However as i am a stubborn person i did not want to give up on the idea of using black and white so we disscussed turning it into black and white with some areas where there is a a great deal of fantastic mise en scene still in colour. An example of this is the close up of the victims hand in the bath. the red nails are a huge feature and the viewers eye is quickly drawn to them. This is when we decided that it would be a good idea to have the murderer's perspective in black and white, beaucause his fixation is as clear as black and white, just to kill, and then the victims perspective can be in colour enabling us to keep some fabulous colourful shots and still keeping that edgy arthouse movie feel.
