THE RECKONING


This is a great example of a thriller convention as there is a sense of mystery. The viewer never knows or understands clearly what is about to come/ happen and it is this that keeps the viewer wanting to watch more, keeping them on their seats. The group have targeted the thriller conventions well which cn be easily related to a thriller sequence due to the surprise, mystery and enjoyment.

The opening sequence is structured well, it sets the scene without revealing important information which creates mystery and introduces the characters well.

There is good use of mise-en-scene, this is shown where there characters all have costumes to suit their role. Also they have props, an example of this is where they have guns and a suit case. Also they have used a building to film in which is appropriate to this opening.
