Thriller Film Iconography

This collage depicts thriller film iconography. You can see I've screen capped props such a totem and matches. There are also scenes from thriller films that I have screen capped, you can tell these are typical thriller settings as the lighting is dim, the colours are dull creating an air of mystery and they are all places from the 'adult world' such as office blocks or roadsides. Movie posters and DVD covers have also been added in the case of Se7en, the butterfly effect and shutter island. These are some examples of psychological thrillers and even the way they are presented on a shelf for you to buy them from looking at their covers screams thriller. Negative colours or single colours are used to draw focus and there is always a sense of mystery such as what's in the background or who are the characters on the cover? All of this combines to create a collage of thriller iconography.
