News and Current affairs

The news I chose is "East yorkshire man killed in Tenerife robbery." I chose this story because I think it is a similar plot to that of a thriller film.

From http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/humber/8507130.stm

Peter Cockshutt, 71, of Brandesburton, near Beverley, was found dead in his holiday villa on the island on Monday, the Foreign Office said.

He had reportedly been stabbed and police believe he may have been killed as thieves tried to burgle his house.

Mr Cockshutt's daughter Janice told BBC News it was still unclear exactly what had happened to her father.


This story involves a violence, crime, a murder and confusion. It is the type of story which is common in thrillers. If I was to make this to a thriller I would create a past time story and link it to this and make this the ending. I would create a "false Plateau." This is where the audience think they know what will happen next but it isn't what really happens next.

I would also include dramatic music in this scene to keep the audience tense and also use fast match cuts to create a fast paced action scene.
