As Humans, our drive to categorise and explain everything has brought about many unexpected but crucial discovery’s, like how Fleming found a strange and exotic specimen of mould on his piece of bread and after attempting to discover what it was, stumbled upon penicillin.
In the media, our desire to control the flow of text has resulted in the development and implementation of genre theory, they way of categorising media using different signs, signifiers and paradigms like the use of red in horror films and how the goody always pulls through in the end of some corny summer flick.
Psychological thrillers have always interested me and I believe I have a good idea of the codes and conventions buried within them like the use of over saturation in the grade to exaggerate the colours, making relatively boring and normal scenes into vivid pieces of art and making it seem less real and more mad.
Plus it would be a challenge to film a short, dialogue heavy, script orientated, drama piece. It is very difficult because the narrative can become too complicated and strung-out. As well as this the conventions of a Phsyco-Thriller vary and it would be difficult to come up with a signifier that wasn’t to corny.
