In Media we watched the first 5 minutes of the film No Country For Old Men. We watched and analysed this film so we could get a sense of what an opening sequence of a thriller movie should be like for my Media coursework. The director's, Ethan and Joel Coen, uses plenty of techniques like lighting and camera angles to create tension and suspenion needed to make a great thriller movie. They use back lighting and low key lighting on the character Anton Chigurh, played by Javier Bardem, when he is in the back of the police car and in the police station which creates a sense of mystery about him as you can not see his face so you can't judge his character for yourself. Moreover in the first 4 minutes you don't see his face as the camera is always shooting from behind him so you can't see his face therefore his facial expressions. I will be using these techniques in my own thriller movie to create a sense of anonymity in my thriller movie.
