Flightplan analysis

In the extract one of the locations is the underground station. Its very deserted , there is absolutely none around . When the trains come past there is a very loud diegetic sound of the train juxtaposes the silence in the blue lit room where her deceased husband lies. The sound also echoes this links to the theme of weather its dream or reality.  Another sound heard by the audience when she is in the underground is distorted noises. Personally I think these noises represent her mind and how confused she is about the whole situation .

How the genre has developed over time. The first thriller films were directed by a man called Alfred Hitchcock in the 1920s and 30s. His third silent thriller was called 'The Lodger' and he released it in 1926 . After this in 1929 he released the first thriller film with sound in Britain , so this was a big step forward, it was called Blackmail. At this time there was also a few other directors producing such as George A Cooper and Michael Powell. In 1940 Hitchcock continued to direct more thriller films. He released Foreign Correspondent and Rebecca which went on winning an Oscar. In 1944 George Cukor released two psychological thrillers , Film Noir (murder investigation) and Gaslight ( husband making wife go insane). During the 1950s Hitchcock was at the height of his career directing a few more thrillers making him become a huge success. He was creating films like To catch a thief (1955) and Strangers on a train (1951) .Whilst he was becoming a success directors like Cha
