Descriptive - In our thriller a male killer is shown to be chasing a female character, which fitted into the category of horror and particularly the sub genre of a killer hunting a female down. This shares similar characteristics with similar films in the genre.
Functional - In our thriller we tried to produce something that reflected what we thought was an ever present issue (stalking), and we tried to bring this meaning through in our production, to represent the voyeurism shown by individuals in society.
Neale - Our thriller opening conformed to Neale's idea that 'Genre is a repetition with an underlying pattern of variations', in that we wanted to make sure it fitted in with the genre, but we added a slight twist in that we wanted it to appear as a dream/reality scenario, which was left open to interpretation by the viewer.
Sarris - We wanted to, in our thriller, create a sense that they could identify with our particular style of mixing reality and a dream world, which also came through in our music video production, which Andrew Sarris defined as reccuring themes.
Clover - In our thriller, it was predominantly about the idea of a final girl, and this was shown as the male character hunted down the last female character, and killed her. We never really see it from her perspective however, as he is constantly in control and eventually catches and murders her.
Paradigms - For our genre of a slasher horror film, we wanted to ensure that we really conformed with the genre. We brought in colour representation (white is good, black is bad), and also the gender representation where the male stalks the female, and the thriller very much conforms to the paradigms expected from a 'slasher horror'.
