Three thrillers I have seen

Three thrillers I have Seen

1) In La Noire they have used a lot of bright colors to make everything look very eye catching, it also represents the time in which the game is set, in 1947 they would of used bright colors to symbolism winning the war and to show that they are no longer in a dark time, they also would have used bright colors to celebrate.

In La Noire the costumes used are for formal occasions such as a press conference they are wearing shirts and ties and smart trousers to appear that they are smart and there for business. Also the characters are wearing casual clothing for an event such as a trip to the theater movies because they are there to have fun, not to do business or be serious.

In La Noire they have gradually tried to involve the viewer into the plot so they only learn a little bit of the story at a time instead of unloading a massive amount of story on the viewer at one time.

I personally think that the way the plot is built up has been done very well in La Noire because I believe that it makes the viewer’s feel more attached to the characters and makes it easier for people to like the charters and learn the story line for them really easy.   

In a Review done by Game stop the reviewer said that " the period fashions, actual automobiles, and music of the era--along with a score that evokes the style of some of the great composers of film noir--weave an intoxicating spell that's sure to stir the heart of anyone with a fondness for 1940's style" so in L.A Noire they used the time period inwhich the game was set to there advantage and researched the type of music,fashion and cars people were into a put them into the game to increase the feeling of being in the 1940s and make it more realistic because thats how it would have been if you were in LA in the 1940's
2) The second thriller i have seen is James Bond Skyfall. Skyfall is the 23rd film in the series and was released in October 2012, I personally enjoined Skyfall because i felt like it had good use of features you would expect in a thriller but also some bad points.
Some of the good points i found with Skyfall was the lighting for example in this picture

The way they used the light and shadows at this point int he movie adds massive effects because it makes the viewer focus on James Bonds face so you can tell his emotions and you can see that this particular moment in the film is quite tense, also you can see that James is having to really focus on the the task at hand so it does not go wrong and he manages to complete it.

Another part of skyfall that i liked was the use of camera angles, they had a good mixture and variety of camera angles from shot reverse shot to close up shots for example the one used in the picture, useing a variety of camera angles gives the viewer a variety of angles to see the action from, also each camera angle gives a diffrent perspective for example a close up shot gives the viewer a high level of detail on the subjuect and allowes them to easily see and understand the emotions of the subject the close up is on.
A thing i disliked about Skyfall was the effects because they dont really fit into a thriller film for example in the title screen there is quite alot of affects to make the entire scene look like a massive illusion and i think it doesnt really fit in with the film and just makes it look silly, they use explosions a couple of times during the film and these also do not really fit into the film either because tey are really big and in my opionon over done and just does not fit in because the story is really serious and then they have these massive explosions and it makes it less seriousand a bit jokey.
This trailer shows some of the good and bad ponts that i listed ealier in this post such as camera angles, lighting and shadowing and effects

3) Heavy rain

Heavy rain is a psychological crime thriller that has so many good features such as the way they tell a really emotional story about a family which is destroyed by a disaster of losing one of their sons that get run over. The way they tell you this story through cut scenes and game play gets you sitting on the edge of your seat wanting to play more. Another way the story is enhanced is by the use of camera angles, as in Sky fall they really capture the emotion of the characters and make the viewer/gamer really immersed. Also in heavy rain they use the weather to tell the emotions of the character and change the mood of the game, for example when all the characters are happy and doing really well the weather is really sunny, but when the main characters son died it’s raining and really dark and horrible. The sound is also used to express feelings and the atmosphere because at the scene when the boy dies they use really sad and depressing piano music so the player knows that this is a really sad and dark moment.
