Application to our thriller video

Descriptive - our thriller shows a would be killer stalking another one of our characters, finally gaining entry to the characters house.

Functional - this may play on the fear of being followed/stalked - with todays media focusing on the celebrity culture and how they are stalked to a degree.

Neale - our thriller opening conforms to many horror films by using restricted lighting, and camera angles to show vulnerability and superiority of the characters.

Sarris - Sarris would believe that i have created my own style of film with the idea of stalking, which is evident in this video and means something to me being portrayed. This meaning is linked to the functional section.

Clover -within our video we have not used a 'final girl', and so Clover's theory cannot be used to assess our thriller opening. We did not use a girl within our video due to wanting to focus on an all male cast. Also, we are always viewing the main character who is being stalked, and never 'on the side' of the victim, and so this is another reason why this theory is not applicable.

Paradigms - our thriller would fit into the traditional thriller paradigm - this being because it creates suspense, following, fast-paced and complicated.
