Genre Research- Thriller

 

          Hello, I hope you're having a nice day. 

          We're going to start the genre research sequence. Starting off with Thriller, here it is. Common camera angles include the high angle, low angle, dutch angle, medium angle, and such. Those are usually used to show disorientation and power. Common camera movements include pans, tilts, zooms, and such. Those are to show character movement, also to enhance the look on certain people's faces at certain points. Common camera shots include, two shots(three shots, etc) establishing shots, over-the-shoulder shots, close up shots, wide shots, etc. These shots help to develop character and also show the faces of the people. Shots and angles are very important in this genre, you gotta give the distortion in their faces and stuff like that.

          CLAMPS. Common costumes in this genre just include formal or casual-wear. Common lighting for this genre is on the darker side usually, it's to give that eerie theme. Common acting includes craziness, disassociation, and such. Thrillers, (specifically phycological thrillers, but I guess it can carry over) sometimes involve someone with mental illnesses, the plot will revolve around their illness getting worse and in some cases, it drives them into insanity which will also be part of the plot. Common make-up consists of just, regular natural make-up, also some fake blood depending on the film. Common props include weapons and such. There are so many different props in the thriller genre there would be too many to name. There are mainly weapons in thriller films, though. Common settings include dark, secluded places. Abandoned places like warehouses or bunkers, or just out and the open. 

          Now, on to sound. Sound in this genre includes divergent sound, non-divergent sound, ambient sound, dialogue, incidentals, and such. Common editing in the thriller genre includes eye-line matches, action matches, shot reverse shots, cutaways, jump cuts, etc. Sound and editing are both important when it comes to any genre. 

          I like thriller movies. I like how they make you think, how there's usually something morbidly disturbing in every film. I like how some of them leave you on a cliffhanger. I like the really good ones that leave you wanting another part to the film. Thriller movies are really cool. A couple examples of thriller movies are The Invisible man, Split, and The Silence of the Lambs. I've watched the first two, they were really good movies. They both left me on an edge, they were both movies with really good plots. 

          I hope you have a good rest of your day.
