Thriller sequence- Day Of the Jackal

The Day Of The Jackal is a political thriller. Denoted is an over the shoulder shot of men talking then running, although the diegetic sound of their conversation is muted. This creates enigma as the narration is restricted. Juxadpostion is also used, the cheerful diegetic sound of the marching band is effective as the body and facial language is tense and irate. Cross cutting is also denoted, from one part of the parade to another, where one is hectic and the other still. This builds up suspense within the scene as the spectator is aware that something bad will happen but is unsure to what and the consequences to the other characters involved. Cross cutting is often used in thrillers to create apprehension between the antagonist targeting their unknowing victim.
The cinematography uses restricted framing that conceals the sniper's identity, again another convention of a thriller to hide the antagonist. Video effects is also denoted, to be a p.o.v of the sniper looking through the gun. This persepective creates an emotinal response from the spectator as they are in the position of power. A lack of non diegetic soundtrack is denoted and this subverts the convention of a thriller, however it still builds suspense. There is also no cheap surprises nor red herring, which again subverts the convention of a thriller.
