Thriller Research- Fast and Furious

These are my other notes which I had made by watching another thriller. The other thriller I watched was Fast and Furious (Rob Cohen, 2001). These are the notes which I made on it.


Camera
who is in the film
effects
mise en scene
Font
- the Universal sign starts turning into a car wheel
- upbeat dance music as the soundtrack
- montage of people using and doing up their cars
- a lot of montage of clips where people are partying- stereos &loud music
- montage of the clips throughout the film
- music in background still upbeat/ fast paced
- explosive effects
- a lot of stunts
- montage of clips make you want to watch the film to find out what they are doing? and why they are doing it?
- a lot of montage clips of each of the guys relationships with their love interests.
- Fast & Furious fades in from the distance
- lots of close up shots
- mid shots
- long shots
- extreme close ups of cars
- block font, capitals, metal colour, fits with movie and looks like part of the film
