Location

This is a part of the scene called "jaws bridge"

The location is set in the fictitious Amity Island is holiday retreat Martha’s Vineyard, off the coast of Massachusetts.

Genre
I am chosing this film to look at and analyse because this is also a thriller genre, the sub-genres to the film would be action and horror. This is because it includes alot of death and blood making it a very villiant film.

Camera shot/angle/movement
The shot begins with a point of view going through the sea as if it was an animal (shark) this already starts to give us an inside of what the film is going to be about and based around within the first few minutes. Once the shot comes out from the sea it continues on to a tracking movement along side the group of teenagers, this allows us to see how many people there are in this scene and also what the teenagers were doing. The tracking movement continues through the teenagers on the beach till it gets to the end and stops at a medium shot of two characters a girl and boy showing that they are a main focus from the rest and something could possible happen at this time. As the scene progresses we get differented angles shots such as high angled to get a whole outlook of the set location, what is happerning, what they are doing and also who is there. Gradually we get to the shot were the girl is being attacked by the shark around 3:57, as we get to this time we get another point of view shot of the shark looking at the girl ready to attack her. Then once the girl has began to be attacked the camera shots begin to become more close-ups as we can see better facial expressions and get better emotions and see the girls pain and tears.

This is an imagin showing the close up of the two seperate teenagers at the end showing there main focus above the rest of the characters.









Mise-en-scene
Costume: The teenagers sitting on the beach are all wearing dark clothing that is quiet thick such as coats and jackets.
Lighting: The lighting in the scene is very dark but focuses around the main characters. They use the idea of natural light as it is night time so kept it very dark with only the light coming from the fire. Another example of the use of natural light is when Chrissie is being killed in the sea and the moon is reflecting onto her causing a natural light.

Institutional Research

After doing different research into thriller films and starting to construct my own thriller we come to the conclusion that the bbfc rating would be a 15. We decided this due to the fact most thrillers would be a 15. This is because the sections that make a thriller would include fast-pace and tension as it would usualy be driven by a villian and includes such things as crime and horror and would not be suitable for children younger than 15. Our thriller includes a fast-pace and shows scenes that could be of a bad influence to younger children.
Another part of the research that we concluded was that our thriller would be exhibited on tv and as adverts as it is not a full length film but an opening, It will be shown as a short clip to advertise and draw in an audeience. As we have found out the age rating that we are basing our thriller along when promoting it we would do this during times that the age group will be watching tv or between teenage programmes. Also another way is throught facebook and twitter as that is a main source or promotion in todays generation as over most the popluation is using these websites everyday.
I have found this information out throught various websites. One website i used to try and establish the age rating was http://www.bbfc.co.uk/. I went through many different thriller films and saw the different rating they have recieved and then made connections to my own thriller and what aspects it has like the other that would make it a 15.
Major distributers such as columbia tri-star film would promote my product as the organisation realises many different variaties of films into cinemas such as thrillers. To successfull sart distributing my film product they would have to start promoting before realise. This hightens the audeince expectation of the film, they would promote it through such things as facebook,twitter,youtube and then also throught flyers and posters.
Depending on the film genre, animation, fiction or non fiction it would be published by different companies. One way to publish a film yourself is through programmes such as movie maker.
