Dexter


Dexter starts with a close up of a mosquito, drinking blood. Then the main title appears on the screen, it is the colour of blood. Then it zooms in on a man shaving, it is all close up shots so the viewer doesn't have much knowledge on what is going on. It is all very based around blood and death, after the shaving close up, it zooms in on someone cutting meat, then cooking it. It is very cleverly filmed because of the way the director has turned a every day routine into something sinister. All the actions symbolise the different ways that he kills people, the way he cuts though the fruit, meat and eggs, is like him cutting though flesh, the way he plunges the coffee peculator, shows a sort of plunging motion to kill someone, when he goes to floss his teeth it looks as if he's going to strangle someone, similarly when he is doing up his laces it looks as if he is strangling someone, or tying them up, and even when he puts on his shirt it looks like he is suffocating someone. all this gives the viewer a very good idea what this character is like even though he was only eating breakfast.

Do you think the music is important to a thriller and why?

Zan - Yes because it builds suspense
What do you expect in a thriller?
James - Death
Jimmi - Well modern thrillers are usually some crazy guy running down the road killing people... But a good thriller should have a lot of suspense, a lot of action and good casting.
