Vox Pops & Analysis

Vox Pops Analysis:
To film our vox pops our group needed to find 5 people to be questioned about thriller movies and the thriller genre. All the people we questioned on the subject of thrillers told us that they would expect stereotypical conventions and plots. This includes the James Bond films for example, since they incorporate action, however maintain a high level of suspense all throughout the films. James Bond would be divided into the sub genre of action thriller, this is because the plot has a protagonist and antagonist who fight over loved ones or the safety/destruction of the general public. Other popular thriller films include Se7en, Psycho and Limitless.

Typography is a very important aspect amongst films, especially Thriller movies. This is because if it is not the right style/font, the audience can immediately lose interest in the film. It is important to keep the viewers entertained and also to maintain a high level of tension and suspense. This can usually be created by using stereotypical fonts for thriller movies, like Serif or Sans Serif. I would say that Serif is normally more appealing for thriller films since its more old fashioned and gives off a period atmosphere, however films like Limitless have used Sans Serif well since it's a film about modern times and has a futuristic feel.

I think that our group worked well during this task and we all cooperated together in a good manner. Matt took the editing role for the assignment, whilst George, Nat and I filmed and starred in the questioning. If I was to do this task differently, I would make sure that the people being questioned didn't look into the camera at all, as that makes the video seem unreal and fake.
