Collateral (Thriller Film)

In this film suspense was created through the use of music, lighting and camera shots. An example of a suspenseful moment was when Max(played by Jamie Foxx) and the hit man, Vincent (played by Tom Cruise) were stopped by the police, it was an uncertain moment as the audience didn't know if the body in the boot would be discovered or not. Also, when the lights went out in the office, suspense was created by the lack of light which created uncertainty of whether Vincent was going to find Annie(played by Jada Pinkett Smith) and kill her or not. At this point suspense was also created by the lack of time as Max was rushing to come and save her. Towards the end of the film there was another suspenseful moment during the chase when Vincent couldn't decide what train to jump on. This was suspenseful as we couldn't tell if he was going to catch them or not and time was also an element as the train doors were about to close, which made the moment tense.
