Scouting Book for Boys notes...

The Scouting Book For Boys (2) on Prezi

My favourite moment in this film was when the two teens were running along the top of caravans (this can be seen in the clip in my prezi). I really liked this because the sunset was behind them at the time and this created a silhouette effect. I think that the light behind the teens represented their innocence, friendship and child-like nature; which was soon to be shattered.


As we are going to produce an extract from a thriller as our main task, watching this film helped me identify some conventions of a thriller. The main one in this film was that we were always being kept in suspense. When everyone thought the girl had gone missing, and arrested her 'boyfriend' we were just waiting for it to all go wrong and david would get found out. Also another really tense scene was when david smashed her leg with a rock. The audience did not see this coming and therefore uprooted their ease in watching the film and put them on edge; you never know what could happen. This is also a common feature of a thriller.
