From Dawn till Dusk

'From Dawn till Dusk' is a film directed by Quentin Tarrintino and stars him and George Clooney as two brothers and professional thieves. The plot goes on to lead the film into more of a horror as it involves vampires and too much gore for it to be a thriller. However the opening scene is set in a road side shop in the middle of the desert. This place is made out to be very unglamorous, which is exactly what gives it a thriller edge. This is done by the costumes of the characters, who supposedly live there, all of which are old and drab looking. The shop itself is more of a shack and is in an awful state in this desolate location. This image created, in comparison with normal society, looks very backward and almost menacing in the way that its the only place for miles around, if anything was to happen to anyone nobody would ever know. We have taken some of the features from this, such as the dull lighting and used them within our thriller opening to give it a desolate and menacing look.
