Enigma-Problem

The genre of thriller and crime helps market the product because people know what to expect when
they’re watching the show and the genre of crime and thriller is popular. The marketing material such as social media pages helps to market the product. This product creates intellectual puzzles and visceral pleasures in the form of fear. I agree that any theme may appear in any genre because thrillers such as pll sill feature relationships and romance.

The purpose of camerawork:
Involve the audience in the scene or narrative
Create spectacle (narrative)

Close up-used to show emotion

Feeatures of Pll:

• Humour
• Fire
• Casual clothes and makeup-denote average teenager
• school location and house location
• Game pieces-props
• Dark Hoodies

The dark hoodies and the fire reassure that the episode will be thriller based.
