Cape Fear.

Cape fear - what does this sequence give you about the film?
The beginning of the film shows water, rippling this could connote that one of the characters has a fear of water. A eagle then fly's over and gives a reflection, an eagle is a predator so with it flying over the water it might mean that the killer drowns people.

The water has a rippling effect what dissort's the background so we cant tell what it is, a thriller normaly involves misterious and you don' see the death, this could mean that. they are also very dark and gloomy.
the ripples inculde the colour red, again for blood.
a eye then appears in the back ground, i think eyes are very innocent so it could be the main character thats trying to solve this.
a silluhate of a man also fades in, the man has no weapons but his hands are tensed, he could use his hands as weapons and not guns etc
the end of the trailer there are red eyes - whichs conntoes the man is dangerous , they then invert to blue which could mean his cold inside and has no emotions

Vertigo.

Vertigo - what clues sequence gives about the film.

The opening of vertigo includes a womans lips, the lips are very plump which could connote sex appeal what could get her into danger.
It then pans up to her eyes, they look scared when they are moving around - looking for someone? - and very teary, then a red overlay slides up , this connotes her death could be slow and gets more painful (as the red screen goes up), also red connotes death and blood, but also passion, maybe the killer has a passion killing.
From her hey a swirling 3D form appears, the form gets bigger and changes color during the credits, when it swirls the it could mean there's a twist in the film and very mysterios, behind the swirl is an image of a finger print what connotes the mistaken identity.
the shapes could also mean the 'vertigo' of looking down when you get dizzy,
The writing credits are also very police file type - has something to do with the law? also that the killer could be an ex-criminal
it then goes back into her eyes, her eyes look more confident at the end of the trailer which could connote that she has the upper hand at the end of the film.

Vertigo - How does it confirm to the conventions of a thriller.

The opening scene confirms to the conventions excellently, thrillers usualy involve suspencefull scenes and music, mystery and doesn't give much away. the opening scenes trailer is very mysterious with the music and the shapes they also give mystery and the woman doesnt give anything away about the film

Orphan

Orphan trailer:


Orphan bases the thrills of a mothers nightmares of her children, the orphan (esta) who is a Crazy (SPOILER ALERT) 33 year old woman who acts has a child and gets fosters by a mother who lost her baby, she kills people violently with no consequences for her actions and threatens the children if they tell, she causes the parents to have arguments.



Here esta is killing the childrens dad because he wouldnt sleep with her, Esta is not shy about her actions and very experienced and she stabs him multiple times, shes dressed up in the jeans the mother gave her with is forshadowing past events in the film.


esta breaks her own arm to make it look like the mother broke it when she grabbed esta, this gets the father against the mother.
the scene is very nail biting and shows that people are willing to do anbything, this follows the codes and conventions because its shocking the audience, but has a horror fill to it because off the gore etc.



Here the music is typical of a death scene, very squely like violins and build up tension.
Again with the film the gore is alot with the sound goes higher when shes hit, also the sound effects of the hit ats a jumping feel.



Aagin the sound here, when the mother sees the flowers that represent her baby the music is showing her feelings, they are destressed and horrific.
