In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
In my thriller research, I looked at 4 different films; Inception, Seven, Face Off and Drive. All of these film openings had the usual conventions of the thriller genre, using the technical codes, creating enigma, using unrestricted or restricted narration to attract the audience. These openings helped inspire for the original ideas for our own Thriller Opening.
We wanted to use ideas from the thriller opening of Seven as it's shots are very dark and create Enigma, and mystery to the audience making them ask questions, and by using stereotypical conventions of the thriller genre, such as using very close up shots of unfamiliar objects and the non-diegetic soundtrack to create danger or apprehension within the sequence. Dull colouring and dull grey lighting creates a scary and desolate atmosphere. This screen grab (1) is showing the dark, dull, red colouring and a mysterious figure which creates confusion within the opening. In our Thriller Opening, the beginning shots were in the dark and made to create mystery and enigma, giving away only small bits of information and let the audience make out what it's about. This screen grab (2) is one of our shots from our final film, the atmosphere is dull and dark outside, creating mystery within the shot.
We were also very much inspired by Shutter Island, personally, I didn't research this thriller opening. However, one of our group members did and collectively we used this film to helps come up with the idea to base our video about mental health. In thriller films there are two main characters, the protagonist and the antagonist, we used this idea in our video however, we only have one main character. The antagonist is his schizophrenic personality that can take over, the protagonist is the main person in this telling him to stop. Thriller films usually have a storyline that incorporates crime, we did use this slightly in our video, although it is mainly based around mental health.
For the aspects of mise en scene, we used a lot of inspiration from other thriller films to portray our characters look. In a lot of thriller films they have a slightly scruffy looking costume as we wanted our character to look slightly ill. Also we used a particular character in Shutter Island to help us with how to make our character look slightly older, quite pale and red eyes, as screen grab (3) shows. We also noticed from other thrillers that the costume is key for any thriller film as it shows what type of character the actor is portraying.
We used the opening to Inception to inspire us with the sound for our video, as well as the main idea of the type of music the majority of thriller films use. We noticed that a lot of thriller films use off screen, non-diegetic eerie sounds to create mystery and suspense for the audience, we have used this throughout our feel to show how our character feels and the mental state of him. We have also used a common thing in thriller films, the chase music. As our character gets more and more worried and runs around, we have non-diegetic chase music to intensify the mood and keeping our audience on the edge of their seats with this.
For our title sequence (screen grab 4), we noticed a lot of thriller films use black, white or dark colours to emphasise the thriller genre and darkness in the film. We used examples like the title to Seven (screen grab 5) to help us decide what we would do for our title. The title from Seven is slightly creepier than ours, I think if we could change ours to be slightly more affective then we would.
The lighting in thrillers tends to be rather dark and low key lighting to make each scene look slightly mysterious and have a creepy feel to it. The majority of our first shots are filmed in low key lighting to make the ambience negative, to show that the character is doing the wrong thing, in this case escaping a hospital.
For our prelim our group was split in two, i was with Sophie and Allan, and Ross and Dan were together, so coming together as a group has improved our final pieces as we put all of our knowledge together and made sure we didn't repeat mistakes we had made previously. Lighting in our prelim vs final piece
final piece lighting
The lighting in our prelim was very limited, not using spotlights was a mistake we made because this made the scenes all the same, it was filmed inside so we didn't have natural lighting either. it was very dark and the quality wasn't great (as shown below). the lighting in our prelim was low key lighting from classrooms by the art department, This wasn't ideal however we didn't have lighting with us, as shown below we used an iphone for lighting in some parts of our prelim this was a big mistake as it affected the quality of the images and the audience cant see the characters properly which is not ideal. for our final piece we used battery powered LED lights without filters, this created a much better affect as is clearly shown below. the lighting in our final piece is low key however it creates the effect we wanted, it also gives the scene a creepy feel to it.
lighting for final piece
lighting for prelim
In our final piece we used natural lighting as it was outside in the morning however we also used the lighting equipment we used for other scenes to keep continuity. we didn't use lighting stands for our prelim which had a negative affect on the lighting,however we did use lighting stands in our final piece, this made the lighting remain steady and equal throughout the scenes. the lighting is much crisp and brighter in our final piece making the quality look even better. Costume In our prelim we didn't go into detail with the costumes, both characters wore what they would usually wear, This did however fit with our story line but could have been better, the main character in our prelim was wearing jeans and a red hoodie and the antagonist was wearing jeans and a pattern t-shirt however this wasn't obvious in the film.
prelim costume
final piece costume
both costumes look similar however the final piece costume is better because it is scruffier and the actor has the look we were aiming for, his hair and makeup was done to fit the narrative,unlike our prelim we didn't use any makeup. we thought a lot about how to dress our characters, for the main character we initially decided to use a hospital gown we changed this because the gown was hard to get hold of and we did research about mental health hospitals and realised they don't wear hospital gowns. so we decided to put the character in scruffy camouflage trousers and a dark hoodie with scruffy looking trainers, i think with mise en scene (makeup and costume) i improved from our prelim with planning it and putting the plans into action. camerawork in our prelim we used a range of different shots and transitions though this is usually a good thing i think we used to many when we didn't really need to, i think this has improved in our final piece because we have used a range of different shots however we haven't over used them to make it look to busy. we had two close up shots of the protagonists hand opening doors, as these were a few seconds apart it looks a bit confusing and disorientates the audience as to where the character is and their positioning. our prelim is also a much faster pace and demands all of the audiences attention otherwise it may get confusing, we have improved on this in our final piece because we have used a range of shots,transitions, and angles but not to many.
second door shot
first door shot
in our prelim we practised the 180 degree rule a few times before we got it right however we didn't have a scene where we would be able to apply the 180 degree rule and show what we had learnt/improved, an improvement to our final piece would be to use what we have learnt about the 180 degree rule especially in conversation.
following character to destination
pan from final piece
most of our shots are panning shots of our main character in the final piece, i think this is better than than following the protagonist in our prelim because this doesn't show the characters facial expression and emotions whereas in our final piece pan shots the audience can see facial expression and body language. through using this pan the audience can also see the setting better and the shot not be so focused on the main character like in our prelim. in our prelim we used more cuts which i personally find boring unless its in a fast pace sequence which our prelim wasn't, we used some fades and wipe transitions in our final piece that i think would have worked well in our prelim instead of using lots of cuts. Angles and transitions and effects
wipe to next shot
effect 1
in our prelim we didn't plan in detail what angles we would use or particularly stick to the storyboard, we ended up with having to think on the spot whilst trying to manage our characters, this could have been much easier if we had planned properly, however we planned in more detail for the final piece, we planned exactly what angles and shots we were going to use and the transition we would edit in. we tried to use continuity editing techniques e.g when the male walks in front of the character, this was a wipe,i think this worked well because it makes the audience notice the transitions rather than watching without taking any notice of the usual cuts. we also used a fade to white and fade back to a blurry image, the effects we used in our final piece work well with the narrative. i feel we should have used effects in the prelim to make it more interesting and create suspense. (effects below)
effect 2
effect 3
effect 4
Editing in our prelim vs final piece.
effect 5
For our prelim we didn't edit as much as we should have, if we had we could have sorted the lighting issue out, used colour correction, used more transitions this would have massively improved our sequence because it looks poor quality while some of the quality issues wasn't our fault, we could have made more changes to it. in our final piece we took much longer to edit to make sure it was just the way we wanted it to be we also experimented with lots of different effects on the images to make them seem disorientated trying to get it just right wasn't easy. we used colour correction in the woods to make the scene feel brighter and the image a better quality. Sound In our prelim we recorded the dialogue at the same time, doing this was a mistake we made because we were filming a stairwell that echoed and made the voices sound out of place, however adding the voices after might as well have created an undesired effect as there would be a slight echo, that we wouldn't get recording somewhere else. we also had non diegetic drum beats to build suspense however looking back on this i can see it doesn't fit the narrative or the indoors setting, i think a different background song would have been better. in our final piece our sound was all recorded after the filming and the sounds that would have been in the shot were replaced by edited versions and enhanced,such as the birds in the trees we added after filming so we could heighten every little sound to add to his mental state. we used a similar instrumental song in both our films however the song corruption fits our final piece much better. i think we could have spent more time trying to find a song that fit our prelim narrative better. overall on sound for our prelim it wasnt great and could have been improved. Image quality
bad quality
The image quality in our prelim isn't very good the pictures blurry and because the lighting is also bad we cant see a great deal, the quality begins to improve through the prelim however its still not great, we overcame the problem of bad quality images because the camera was much better and managed to get the depth of field. also as there was more colour in our final piece it makes the quality look better.
good quality
Overall I think as a group we have improved greatly and as we were in separate groups we have come together and brought all of our knowledge together and improved since our prelim. I think the biggest problem with our prelim was the lighting and quality and for our final piece I feel we have greatly improved it.
What
have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this
product?
In the main task we used a big variety of different technologies, for example filming and editing, and learnt a lot about them throughout the course of the entire project.
To actually film our video we had to originally learn how to use the camera, the right procedures and methods and the correct framing for each particular shot.
We originally struggled to be able to get the correct white balance, as we didn't know how to set it on the camera, however, in this product we were able to analyse the camera and how it worked, therefore being able to set the white balance on the camera.
no white balance
set white balance
We have learnt that if you don't set the white balance on every shot it makes a big difference, making the shot seem very unsaturated and unrealistic, and so we made sure to set the white balance on our cameras before shooting for any shot for the final product. We also learnt that if you set the white balance on some shots and not others, it would affect the continuity of the video. The screen grabs above are to show the difference, the left image shows the colouring isn't as bright or as saturated as it should be, if we had set the white balance the shot would have been a lot clearer too. The right image shows one of our shots from our final product, where we had set the white balance, the wall is very white and has a much clearer tone to it. If we hadn't set the white balance it would have had quite murky, grey colouring.
We found it quite difficult to get the correct framing for our video as a lot of our shots included our actor running, so to keep the focus on him at all times was rather difficult. However, we learnt how to use a tripod to put the camera on, it moves very smoothly, therefore we were able to keep the him in the frame rather well without having to move the camera ourselves. As our final video is called "Noose" we wanted to include a close up shot of an actual Noose in our setting, the woods. This proved to be rather difficult to get the correct framing as we had to use zoom on the camera to get better shot of the Noose in the tree. This is a screen grab of our final shot of the Noose, this was a very difficult shot to get the correct framing of, I think it could have been better, although we did learn how to zoom and get the correct angle on the camera which proved to be more successful.
One issue we had with the camera was that we had to use two separate cameras for each setting. This was a slight problem as one camera had better quality than the other, this wasn't very noticeable, but was however rather annoying when it came to editing as we had to make sure all of the clips were similar quality so it didn't affect the continuity of the video. The lighting was pretty simple to use, we used a spot light for almost all of our shots. The only thing we really had to learn about the lighting was how the wheel on the side changed the brightness of the lighting and when to use it.
Another thing that we had to learn how to use was the mac; this was the hardest piece of technology to work with. We used the mac to edit our video using Final Cut Pro and Garage Band. Personally, I found Final Cut Pro rather difficult to use however, after learning how to use it properly it wasn't too hard to edit on, although very frustrating. We found out how to apply filters, colour correction, distortions and how to transition with more than just a normal cut, such as wipe and dissolve. We used Garage Band for sound editing, this was easy to get used to using as it had almost everything you needed, as on the side it gave you all of the parallel sounds you could use. Overall, I personally, learnt a lot about technologies from conducting this product as I had never really used any of these before, other than Garage Band.
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
The Usual Suspects - keeping his face a mystery
On the left is the unknown character
A significant part of thriller films is enigma, or having the audience ask questions (usually in their head). This is particularly prevalent in The Usual Suspects, especially during the opening scenes. In our film, we very much made sure that a lot of what we were showing was unexplained, as it is only meant to be the first two minutes of a feature-length film. We did not explain who had set up the noose, or whether it had been used, we only implied that the protagonist killed the man in the woods, and we definitely did not explicitly mention the mental illness (Schizophrenia) that our protagonist had. We tried to make our protagonist an "anti-hero", where he is the main character, but he is not necessarily doing what he does for the good of everyone, or even himself.
"I just missed your heart."
"What have you done?"
As such, our narration is very restricted. We have two lines of dialogue (which, funnily enough, is the same amount as we had in the preliminary task), both of which are not really in a conversation, just thrown at the protagonist in passing. This is fairly similar to Hanna, where the only line of speech is said by Hanna just before the title. The protagonist also knows more than the audience does, such as the aforementioned Schizophrenia, who had used the noose and who had murdered the man in the woods. The audience has to piece together the bits of the protagonist's past.
When it came to aspects of mise-en-scene, our film does not deviate too far from the norm of thrillers, except perhaps in colour. During the hospital scenes, the colours are fairly dark and drab as we shot during the night, but during the woods scene in the morning, everything is rather saturated and vivid. This was done for two reasons:
It seems visible enough
We needed to differentiate the noose from the background. Our rope was fairly small and thin, and it did not help that the colour was a bright yellow. The OTS shot during our film was actually helpful in showing the noose, as it was placed with a tree directly behind it, causing a clash of colours.
Our protagonist is a drug user, and one of the common symptoms of various drugs is seeing the world differently, or hallucinations. We tried to make the woods seem a little psychedelic, without changing the scenery or distorting anything too much (aside from the OTS shot with the noose).
Otherwise, the film stuck to traditional thriller properties, such as urban costumes, blood, pale make-up, mental hospital setting, etc.
Todorov's narrative rules only sometimes apply during our film. Our equilibrium is never really set, as almost the first thing we see is our protagonist escaping a mental hospital. It could be said that our equilibrium was set during the very first shot where an unknown character walks out of the hospital, but that is not particularly relevant to the story, rather a way of using an establishing shot, and leading towards the protagonist's escape.
The disruption occurs in two places. Part one is where the protagonist escapes, and part two is where he spots the noose and the body in the woods. The realisation comes after the second part, where he realises what he has done (purely implied) and runs off into the woods.
Restoration attempt?
Typically, this would lead onto attempting to restore order, and it could be said that the final shot, where two unknown characters walk up to the fainted protagonist is the beginning of the restoration. However, from that point on, the film would continue, and it would be past the first two minutes. The equilibrium would appear again at the end of the film, possibly with the protagonist back inside of the mental hospital.
Question 6:
What have you learned about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
The products we used were:
Digital Camera
Spotlight
Tripod
Mac (GarageBand, Final Cut Pro)
Lapel Microphone
In each of our settings, we had a different camera, and this had a small effect on our editing. One camera shot everything in a much higher resolution than the other one, which - while not particularly noticeable - is still an issue that we had to address by making them at least the same aspect ratio. Otherwise, we learned that the batteries run out extremely quickly, and so we needed to work fairly fast. White balance was also an issue, as we forgot to specifically bring white objects, but we worked with ones that we had around us, such as a white wall and Ross' jumper.
The spotlight was fairly simple, and as such there wasn't much to learn. Moving the wheel up made it more powerful, and moving it down made it less so. The tripod was also difficult to put back into its more portable position, but we quickly learned how to do it efficiently.
The Mac was definitely the hardest piece of tech to work with. While I cannot speak for the other members of the group, I can say personally that it was a very unpleasant experience. As a predominant Windows user (and occasionally Linux), getting accustomed to Apple's file system and how each of the applications worked was extremely frustrating. That being said, we did manage. We found out how to apply filters, from colour correction to distortions, we found out how to get the files from two different projects into one main project, and how to transition with more than just a normal cut, such as wipe and dissolve.
Using the Mac and getting a little more used to it has not converted me from Windows or Linux yet.
Question 7:
Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learned in the progression from it to the full product?
Our group was only like it is now after we started the main task, and as such we were split into two groups. I was with Ross, and our film was about an interrogation between two men.
We were pretty pleased with how it turned out, but there were a few things which we had to improve for our main task. Lighting was one of these areas. Our prelim was set in a dark room, and this was for a reason. We had a standing spotlight which we used in shot to show the victim from the darkness, and we implied that it had been turned on by the interrogator or his colleagues. This still did not really prove to be enough light, especially as this was entirely focused on one of the two people, and as they sat down one was far brighter than the other. This did look odd, and perhaps shifted focus onto someone who was not talking at the time, or was not doing anything relevant.
We have varying amounts of lighting intensity
In our main task, we had two settings, one set at night and one set in the morning. The morning light proved useful, creating nice lighting effects and stylish lens flares, but we also used the spotlight to emphasise particular props like the noose. During the night, we had the spotlight on every shot, highlighting the whole area, or just a particular point (like the hospital sign).
The prelim had some editing issues. In one of our shots, we had broken the 180 degree rule ever so slightly with an OTS shot. We had to remove the shot entirely from the final cut. During our main task this didn't prove to be a problem, has we did not have any dialogue between two people, but even so we spent the majority of the time on the actor's right side.
When it came to sound, we were much better at choosing and placing them in the main task. Our prelim had no ambient sound, just music or dialogue. It felt very much like a film set, and unnaturally quiet. We made sure to change this in our main task, and included ambient sounds for every shot, as well as music and other non-diegetic sounds.
6.What have youlearntabouttechnologiesfromtheprocessof constructingthisproduct.
From creating our thriller final product i have learnt a lot about technologies good and bad things.
Mac's for editing
One thing that is the most significant in my learning process would be the macs to edit using Garage band and Audacity, As i haven't used macs in the past this was a new experience for me a hard one as well.however using all our knowledge as a group we managed to succeed in the editing process of images, image editing wasn't as hard as garage band which as a group we struggled with. I've learnt how to use the basics of garage band and where to place the different sound effects and volumes of each one, i think that i have improved my skills throughout the process from being unable to use garage band efficiently to being able to edit sequence and add sound alone.
editing figure 1
ross's jumper figure 2
For the non diegetic sound effects i have learnt how to choose the correct sounds and edit them properly to create the right affect on the audience. Using final cut pro was also a new experience which again wasn't easy to start with however once I spent time on it playing around with the different effects it got much better. we initially struggled with colour correction when we wanted to colour correct the yellow noose to make it stand out more we overcome this issue eventually overall with using macs I feel as if I have improved greatly and learnt new things and how to use them properly. (figure 1)
Digital cameras, Equipment and Lighting
canon digital camera
I have had previous experience with digital camera as I did media at GCSE so using them wasn't completely new for me, However there were new things that i had to learnt such as white balance, We didn't put the white balance on in our preliminary which was why our film didn't look as good as our final piece that has had the white balance applied, We didn't take a specific object for the white balance so we had to improvise and use ross's white jumper (figure 2) however this worked fine. We used a tripod to steady our camera in most of the scenes getting this in the right position and height for the person recording took time and patience. we also used lighting without filters, as these are simple to use we didn't have any problems other than trying to position them properly.
zoom figure 3
When using zoom on the camera we had a tendency to zoom to fast and it look weird, this has shown in one of our scenes where we zoom in on the noose.(figure 3). We didnt use any depth of field in our final piece which would have been good to add to the quality of the images.
We have improved vastly from our preliminary task, there are many reasons as to why this is and after looking back at our preliminary video I have seen many things we didn’t achieve, however have now achieved in our final product.
In our preliminary video I noticed that the quality wasn’t brilliant and I saw that the colouring was slightly off, and quite green. In this screengrab you can see that the wall and door of the shot is off colour, this is a result of not setting the white balance. We realised that not setting the white balance caused the colouring to go off slightly and make the overall piece bad quality. In our final project, Noose, we set the white balance before every shot and found that it had a much more positive effect and made our film a lot better quality. This next screengrab is of our final film, where we set the white balance.
I also noticed that, in our preliminary video, we didn’t use any lighting and relied on the natural lighting of the corridor and rooms that we were in. However, this shows to have been a bad idea because the lighting was very dark, therefore we can’t really see much in our video. For example, in this screen grab it shows a shot of our film where our actor walks through
the corridor. You can’t really see what’s going on, and you cannot see facial expressions etc, which means that it’s rather difficult to tell what the story line is. Not only that, but the lighting coming through the windows of the doors makes a bad affect and creates only little stripes of lighting. Therefore, in our final video we used the proper LED lights to light up the area, even in pure daylight, this is because we can’t have any shadowing that’s not wanted. We also filmed in the dark for some of the film so we needed to use the lights to light up the surrounding area and to be able to see the actors clothing as it was really important for the role he was portraying. This screen grab is of one of the dark areas that we filmed, it’s lit up by an LED light as well as a street lamp. This works well as you can see the area very well, also the lighting is good enough to be able to see the actor.
The camerawork in our preliminary video was mainly hand held, which had a bad affect on the quality of our video as it was rather shakey and made the whole video difficult to edit. In our final project video we improved a lot in out camera work skills and decided to use a tripod for all of our shots, including the establishing shot at the beginning; for this we used a band on the arm of the tripod to move it smoothly to give the shot a nice finish.
We analysed our preliminary editing and realised that there wasn't much to our film editing, other than the simple cut transition. For our final project we used different transitions which proved a success. The sound editing in our preliminary video was also a big mistake we made, as a group we decided not to edit the sound properly and just left it as it was. Unfortunately, you could hear a lot of muffling and talking in the background. Therefore, when editing the sound for our final project film we did a lot of research for parallel sound. We decided to completely cut out the sound and edit over by using garageband sound effects and a sound recorder for the voices in our video. This also proved to be a very good idea and gave a positive affect on our video in the end.
A slight problem in our preliminary video was organising costume, we were unable to get any of the actors to wear specific clothing, unfortunately we couldn't get access to make-up either so that made a bad affect as the story line may have been unclear. In this screen grab you can see that our actor isn't particularly wearing any costume or make-up. However, in our final project video we made sure our actor was wearing clothing that was quite casual but scruffy to make him look like a mental hospital patient. We also used make-up for blood on our dead character, also our main character needed make-up to look tired and like he had previously been on drugs, also to make him look sweaty from running. We really improved on costume and make-up as we didn't use any in our preliminary film, however we used it to a great extent in our final project which proved to have a really good affect.
1. In what ways does your media
product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
In our thriller opening sequence we use
different forms and conventions of thriller films such as the use of a
protagonist and an antagonist however in our thriller the antagonist is his
schizophrenic personality that can take over, the main character is the
protagonist. Thriller films usually have a storyline with crime in this is also
part of our storyline whilst we tried to work it around mental health crime is
still incorporated. We were inspired by shutter island, this gave us the idea
of making our thriller about mental health.
Our use of mise en scene
is similar to other thriller films, costume being scruffy and the
character looking ill was the desired look we were wanting, the idea of looking
like he had done drugs was inspired by a character in shutter island. This
character has red lined eyes like ours and is very pale whilst they have very
different mental issues (she hasn’t done drugs) we thought the eyes were key in
making him look the way we wanted. The costumes used in thrillers are key in
showing the characters personality. (inspiration for character).
inspiration for our character.
Thriller films use off screen non
diegetic eerie sounds to create suspense and a creepy feel, we have done his
throughout to show his mental state and how he is feeling. There is also non
diegetic chase music that suggests he is being chased, this is common in
thriller films. we have challenged this by using a more upbeat non diegetic song that suggests hes on a mission (he's not!) rather than running away from himself.
children of men title
our title
It is common in thriller films to use
black and white or dark colours to emphasise the darkness in the film and the
thriller genre, our title sequence is white text on a black background this is
similar to the thriller se7en however the title font of se7en, is jagged and
probably creepier so if we were able to change this we would. The text pace is
slow, this slow motion pace creates suspense for the audience, our thriller
challenges this because our title sequence is a slow pace and creates a
suspense. (screen shots above)
Minority report lighting
The lighting in thrillers is usually
dark low key light to make the scene have a creepy feeling to it, our thriller
is filmed in low key lighting in the evening (figure 4) to create the
feeling that the character is doing something wrong and bad (escaping the
hospital). lighting is dark in the film minority report which gives it a
creepier feel that what going on is dark and evil. Our thriller challenges this
along with other thrillers similar.
our lighting
The
narration we used is restricted we did this by not telling the audience what
had happened previously in the characters life e.g we didn't say what illness
he had, we implied it, we didn't say who killed the boy either, we had to be
particularly careful in creating enigma because we didn't want to give the
narrative away.our thriller challenges other thrillers that have created
ambiguity and enigma in the audience, an example would be shutter island we are
not told where the characters are going and to begin with there isn't any
dialogue like ours there is just non diegetic sounds. This helps create
ambiguity because the audience are having to connote what is happening rather
than denote it. we wanted to create enigma which we have successfully achieved.
Tvetzan Todrovs narrative theory applies to our film in some part however not all of it. equilibrium there isn't an obvious equilibrium in our film however it could be argues that the establishing shot by the hospital where a man walks out of the hospital, all people around are unaware of the main character escaping the hospital, for other characters this would be an equilibrium but not the audience as we have seen him escaping. disruption The disruption in our thriller is when the character has hallucination of the dead body, This is a disruption because the audience aren't aware of what he may have done until he sees the dead body by the tree. realisation the realisation is when the character remembers what he has done and begins to run away from the memories. restored order restored order is similar to the realisation as him running away was him trying to restore normality and order to the situation.
