Our thriller was inspired by James Watkins 'Eden Lake' which is a thriller about teenagers brutally terrorising a middle aged couple in an abandoned lake resort that nobody is supposed to know about.
The setting is effective with the narrative as it creates something you should be afraid of from something thats supposed to be romantic and normal. This is an effective way of building up suspense as it will make the audience feel anxious and fearful of what is going to hammen which will emphasize the shock. Hitchcock also uses this technique, for example in The Birds it makes the audience feel as though they should be afraid of Birds and Psycho being afraid of staying in a hotel, Watkins makes you fear teenagers which is effective as it'll play on the audiences mind whilst they're doing normal everyday things as teenagers already have a negative stereotrype in society.
the sound is quiet and calm to start with which sets the scene for it to be romantic before the twist comes in which emphasizes it making it dramatic with the unexpected dog bark making the audience jump and feel on edge creating a weary atmosphere.
The soundtrach prgressively gets louder which instantly sets the scene for something bad to happen and therefore is an effective way of building up tension.
The quick cuts with the sounds effects and transitions is effective with the fast movements in building up tension and suspense as it reflects the middle aged coples mindset and shows the build up of their fear and makes the audience feel anxious and weary of what might happen which creates a suspicious atmosphere.
