The British Thriller

When we hear the words British thriller we automatically think 'Alfred Hitchcock' or we think 'Shane Meadows'
but when we observe the actors we see common faces such as Daniel Radcliffe or Kiera knightly and Paddy Considine, we notice a more natural approach in the characters as most British films don't overdose in make up and do not drown actors in artificial editing.
When we look at for example 'London to Brighton' the actresses do not have much on and we notice the less expensiveness to the feel of the film, though it captures the emotions to a maximum, the audience feel exactly what the girls feel and enter the roller coaster of problems that they encounter.
when it comes to mise-en-scene and the though of British locations, we always think of dingy flats, small dark streets, London it self, then the contrast of the silent countrysides.  then we combine the mise en scene with the blood and gore, the gangsters, misunderstood teens and vulnerable elderly women.

In my own thriller, I will be using a set of lifts that are in a damp vandalised area, and the combination of hidden agendas and the darkness of the area will give it a British identity. suspense fear and a realisation to the area is what I want my audience to experience.
