Jake: Thriller 07

Overall, i am very pleased with my work and progress in this project. I feel that i contributed a lot to the group and also learned a lot from working on my own on editing and filming and other members of my groups advice. I think in this respect we worked very well as a team in helping and advising eachother which meant that we all improved on our filming, editing, sound recording and lighting skills. That is the pratical side but i think that we worked very well on the planning and research side too. What worked well in our group was that we all got along well so we were able to have informal thrilelr watching sessions at someones house and also have formal meetings in which we got paper work done.

I am pleased with this project because i wanted to learn new skills in editing and filming and to also have fun and make something i was proud of and i achieved all of these aims.

Narrative structure in Relapse

Todorov's narrative structure can easily be applied to our thriller in 3 parts:

-Equilibrium

Although this may not be the audiences equilibrium the main character is in equilibrium as he is on drugs. Restful and slower pace, just sitting on bench and walking around. Calm scene and setting with calm despite disturbed actor.

-Disturbance

The main character kills the female character, this acts as the disturbance in our sequence.

-Final equilibrium despite disturbance

Although in this equilibrium the female is dead and the male unconscious an equilibrium is formed. This is because in the first equilibrium she was not important and so her death does not matter. And also because the pace of the sequence has slowed down again like the start where he is stationary on the bench.
