The Purge

'The Purge' is a perfect example of a thriller film. It uses high angle shots to show the antagonists power throughout this particular clip

The use of shadows in this clip makes the scene seem even more menacing and suspense. The way the light hits the antagonists face makes it seem as though it is he who is actually the protagonist, as light gives connotations of purity.

The use of hand held cameras within this clip also make it seem more tense as it literally makes the screen shake slightly conveying the feelings of the characters onto the audience.

The way in which there is always something in frame other than just the characters also gives the audience a feeling of mystery and weariness as none of them can see what is going on in certain parts of the frame.
