Thrller Research- RocknRolla (2008) [James]

- The camerawork is of LS and CU's which create suspense becasue we cannot see what is fully going on. Enigma- causing an restricted narration.
- A tracking shot of behind the man, creates mystery and raises questions.

- Lighting is very low key, to hide away identity from people, back-lighting showing silhouette, characters face impossible to see Enigma.

- One long take then lots of small takes, builds suspense of the main protagonist and raises questions about him, other shot used to give brief introductions to other characters.
- Continuity give a flow and coherence of the character.
- The diegetic, off screen voice over runs is parallel with the soundtrack, gives clues as to how the character will be when he is seen.

Thriller Research- The Dark Knight Rises (2012) [James]

The Dark Knight Rises

-The many CU's and Mid to long shots create a very restricted narration, this creates questions on what is going to happen.
- a lot of the camerawork is handheld, to create the sense of being on a plane.

-Lighting is high key, showing importance, doesn't need to hide who they are, they don't want to hide.

-action code is a main part in this opening, not hiding much eveything being shown, creates unrestricted narration.
- a contrast of long and short takes, creating suspense with the juxtaposition of having both.

-Sound heavily non diegetic because of them being in a plane, also non-diegetic sound of when the other plane is above, distorts other sounds.

-soundtrack is of bass and drums, creates suspense with the pace and irregularity of the timing.
