A motif is a typical conventions of a thriller, auteur such as Alfred Hitchcock is recognised for his detail and symbolisms. Such as he uses round objects in Psycho like the extreme close up of the eye, the toilet, the shower head, the protagonist’s mouth and the drain. These were to represent and reflect the idea of eyes and being watched. In our Thriller we decide to use a motif of Mr Pratt’s gloves. The gloves are large biker gloves and the audience will recognise them as a symbol of threat and danger as they appear menacing and quite distressing. There are close ups of the gloves such as in the car on the steering wheel, also when he posts the letter. The gloves represent something out of the ordinary, they look surreal and odd as he posts the letter or waits in the car, it appeals to the audience primal fears.
