Audition
The trailer of Audition, we see some
typical features of a thriller. For example when the woman’s scars are
revealed, we are expecting something sexual as she has previously removed her
bra, therefore shocking us. The pulling up of the sheets has been edited and
sped up, making it jolty, stopping the sensual and making the revelation more
sudden. The contrast between sexual and shocking also emphasizes the scars. The
scars imply some violence and the shock suggests secrets, both often featured
in thrillers. The lighting is often blue and cold, giving a ‘shivery’ uneasy
feel. The blue is used in a sexual scene, which are usually meant to be
‘heated’; therefore we feel that something is not quite right. We see a body
bag, giving the impression of murder, a common theme in thrillers. The stabbing
which constantly speeds up, giving an impression of obsession and insanity, as
if someone is getting carried away or has been wound up, backing up the theme
of murder.
