The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight is an action thriller which was released in 2008. Its directed by Christopher Nolan.

The dark knight is a batman film, batman being played by Christian Bale. The film is based around the joker and batman, when the joker begins to cause chaos around the city, batman is forced to deal with his mess.

The dark knight is located in a mysterious town. The film is always set at night which makes the surroundings dark and sinister, which causes a creepier atmosphere, and keeps the audience on edge. The batmans costume is also all black, which makes him look very dark and mystifying. At a point in the film the action/fighting sceens are located in a car park, which has low ceilings and dim lights. These surroundings cause a dark and eerie atmospere, which build up suspense and a mysterious tone.  

The music speeds up and gets louder when the fights get more intense, this fast music builds up the tension.        

The joker played by Heath Ledger, has masses of face paint on, which creates a mask to cover his face, which means the audience can not see who the real character is. The face paint also makes the joker look like a clown, and clowns are usually incorporated in scary/thriller films.

This film is a thriller because there isnt many, if any gory sceens, but its fast moving, and theres a lot of action involved.
