Bourne Identity (#4)

We begun the lesson watching the film 'The Bourne Identity.' This film was a action/spy thriller about a man who was rescued from the sea by a group of fisherman. When the man was alive he could not remember who he was or where he came from. The film is based around the man looking for his identity. The reason we looked at this film was to mainly observe elements that create suspense that we could recreate in our thriller.

We identified a typical suspense sequence to follow the following:

• Posing questions to the audience
• People in jeopardy
• Unfolding of narrative
• Complications
• False resolution
• Questions answered
• People no longer in jeopardy
