Evaluation 2

Music:
The music we used in our production was used to build up tension in the piece and to emphasize certain key parts in the thriller opening. Rather than the fast paced music of such thrillers, such as 'Speed', we opted for the more mysterious thought provoking music heard in openings like 'The Interpreter' and 'Silence of the Lambs'. The reasoning behind this was simply because it suited our piece more as it wasnt fast paced, therefore fast paced music would not have fit aswell. Also as we were a low/no budget production company we used the internet source of http://www.freesound.org/ to obtain music and sounds for our piece.

Character Representation:
The first two characters we see are the owner of the factory and a worker of the factory. The first one we see is the owner who ends up being murdered. The first character, the victim, is dressed smartly to show he is higher status over the other character and that he also owns the factory. He is the one asking the questions about the business and shipping their stock out. This represents this character as the one who's in charge and making sure the audience knows that he is higher up in the ranks for the business. The other character is dressed in a normal working mans uniform, which is mainly just casual clothes. We did this to show the difference from the status and to show which characters do what for the business.

Social Groups:
The minor character of the factory worker represents the working class. Stereotypical factory workers wear low budget clothing such as tracksuit bottoms and/or sports gear. This is why the character of the factory working was wearing such clothing as it creates a feeling of verisimilitude. The factory boss is represented in the way he is dressed and in his actions. He is dressed in a smart sweater and a collarred shirt combination with black trousers, instantly making him seen as an authority figure. As he confidently strides round the factory and is also working his way to lock the factory up he is no standard worker. In many thriller films alot of the tension and suspense is created in not knowing who the killer is or what his face looks like such as in 'Halloween' and 'Phone Booth'. This is why the killer's identity in our piece is concealed as it creates suspense and in lehman's terms keeps the audience guessing. This represents a typical killer in a thriller film.
