A Classic Thriller 'Vertigo'



Colour

Throughout the clip, approaching the end of the film, a lot of dark colours are used, not just with the lighting, but also with clothing. This shows the audience that a bleak ending to the film is approaching. Judy is also dressed in black suggesting mourning. If the colours were bright and vibrant, it would remove a great deal of tension from the scene whilst distracting the attention of the scene from the characters. So the dark seeting is necessary to creat a bleak and tense atmosphere.

Music

Approaching the climax of the film the music slowly builds and builds along with the tension. A dramatic peice of music growns in volume and intensity, letting the audience know that something important is going to take place. The use of music is a good way to buildsuspense in a scene.

Characters

The characters in the scene are both typically attractive, to make the audience like her.

Typical thriller

Withing the 8:00 minute clip we watched, it was made clear to us that some kind of crime had taken place and the man had solved this. However, right at the moment when all is made sense of, another complication arises as the female characters jumps from the chirch. This follows the typical sequece of a thriller, following a crime and involving complications.
