Gone in 60 Seconds (2001)
The movie is a thriller, action, crime but it’s mainly a thriller the beginning for this movie immediately know that is focused on cars because the opening title scenes are built around cars through the image of car parts and cars also we know it’s a thriller because their a stopwatch during the opening credits this means their a rush of time, feel of rush in some cases. The main character ‘Randall "Memphis" Raines’ has to return home to help his younger brother out ‘Kip’ due to him failing a job of car stealing that Raymond Calitri offered to his younger brother. This is a typical synopsis of a thriller genre it usually involves a hero/heroin (Randall "Memphis" Raines) a victim (Kip) and a villain (Raymond Calitri).
The dark natural lighting at the first few minutes when Kip and his crew are robbing the Porsche from the car dealers give the movie a thriller feel the high speed chase gives it a introduction to what the movie is about which is stealing cars. When they stop the car at their lair there is a sense of panic because police are after the car thieves, police are a common factor of thriller genre movies.
Our first idea of genre for our movie was a comedy however we realised it's hard to achieve a comedy due to what type of comedy the audience finds funny the research we done our research on the movie 'Friday'.
Friday(1995)
The movie focuses on a Friday of two friends Craig Jones (Ice Cube) and Smokey (Chris Tucker) the movie in set in LA (Los Angeles). Craig has been fired from his job, due to him being accused of stealing cardboxes from UPS however Craig says he's innocent. As the day goes on people from his neighbourhood pass through the movie these characters are harmless but have weird personalities.
As the movie goes on we find out that Smokey owes a Drug Dealer money he's ordered by the Drug Dealer to pay him $200 dollars by 10:00 pm on the same day. From this the two main characters embark on crazy situation and methods in order to pay the money back.
Another movie we used to get and ideas on thriller based movie was 'Body of Lies'
Body of Lies (2008)
The plot is about an CIA officer in Iraq Roger Ferris (Leonardo DiCaprio) trying to track a terrorist down called Al-Saleem. He finds a member of the terrorist organisation who is willing to talk and give Roger information if he's able to get asylum in America. However the CIA officer's boss strongly rejects to this, Roger offers him shelter the terrorist. Nizar(the terrorist who's willing to talk is used as a pawn in order to draw out the rest of the terorists.
This movie is good because of the plot, casting and special effects but it didn't relate to our film due to location and budget.
