Evaluation Of Finley Harnett's Work Section 2

  From Finley's work on 'Requiem For A Dream' I have learnt that this is quite a dark,bleak depressing thriller because of it's pounding soundtrack and chopping, headache- inducing editing. The film is an example of 18 rated film this is because it has graphic sex scenes, drug use and mental breakdowns, this shows that it should not be seen for any viewers under the age of 18. I have never watched this film before so by reading Finley's work has given me a great insight on what the film is about and by adding the clip is really helpful for people who haven't seen it just like myself. In his analysis of the extract he has told us what codes and conventions have been used, the diegesis of the piece and a good analysis of the characters has shown he has taken in a great deal of interest into it. Like Finley has used the ending of the film for his analysis he believes its the best bit to help us with our understanding of the thriller genre for when we will have to create an opening ourselves. With Finley's great analysis we will be sure of what to include in our coursework to make it as good as other thriller films, programs etc if not better.
