Maya Whitmore- Why Thrillers Thrive- Homework

The article is about the differences between thrillers and horrors how Thrillers provide ‘thrills’  for the viewer which civilization has so screened and sheltered us that is isn't practicable to experience sufficient thrills at firsthand. Thrillers have been made to allow the viewer in the cinema to be able to see whats happening but at the same time be safe and secure so they can experience the thrill artificially and as the civilisation has become so sheltered and protective of the viewers welfare and psychological state the cinema screen is the best medium  for this. watching a well made thriller we don't sit by as spectatorswe participate in the story getting involved and engaging with the plot, as its in are nature to want "shake ups" within the story otherwise we grow sluggish and jellified.
The scene  in hells angels in which a British pilot decides to crash the plane into the envelope of the zeppelin to destroy is and obviously killl himself, this could be a horror stricken scene but the way camera work is used, cutting from his face and then to the piolts seat so have the impact as if the viewer is the pilot hurtling to there death, but the viewer knows there safe and in no harm because in are subconscious we are aware that we are safe sitrting in a comfortable arm chair watching a screen. the use of camera work plays a big part in the way the audience capture the scene and the emotions which are being thought.
a bad example of attempting to thrill the public was at an exhibition slide show  promising thrills, where the public sat between two colums in a bid to frill the viewers as they sat there in there seats naturaly expecting the curtains to be drawn but instead hearing a loud craking noise, one of the pillars began to toppel over onto the audience, before they even had a chnace to run for cover the piller was suspended above there heads. even though it provided a trill it wasnt the tyoe which pleased the public, having so many complaints the slideshow was closed down as the publics basic feeling of secuirty and saftey was underminded.

horror films are rather different to thrillers, the term orginially meaning "extreme aversion" has been loosely applied to films which to supply the desrired emotional joilt, including exploit sadism, perverstion, bestiality and deformity. horror is seen as utterly wrong being vicious and dangerous. there is a growing body of opinion inside as well as outside the film industry against such films which are succesful in direct ratio to thier power to create unantural excitiment. as a matter of fact they are bound to fail because the public is as a rule healthy minded.
