Tension within thriller

Venetic 2016 analysis (group work)
There were three major features which created tension: timing, sound & light and character
The group used a fade effect to elongate each title increasing the tension by drawing out the beginning and allowing for more tension to be built the pace was also slow to build to the climax of the scene when the monster attacks.

 As well as this the minimal lighting from torches and refection’s made the scene darker causing more tension. And the lighting also focused the audience’s attention to specific parts of the environment and how they are central to the narrative of the scene.

The main aspect that creates tension is how the scene progresses – the group is evidently matriarchal as she has control of the male characters and is constantly reminding them to keep quiet and seems to be in charge – she also looks for fuel whereas the men look for weapons which shows she may have a larger plan than survival – whereas the men are focused on fighting and the man who makes the spear seems older than the boy in the background who doesn’t really do anything but carry the map and examine some nails

In conclusion the scene effectively creates tension because of the acting and characters giving believable performances – the lighting disorientates, with its quick movement, and focuses attention to specific things in the scene such as the door or the map.
