Genre Research Blog: Thriller

 Thriller is one of the genres our group is considering for doing our opening sequence.  

Common Camera Angles: Close-ups, Extreme close up, High & Low angles, Canted angles, wide shots, and panning shots 


The camera angles are used to show suspense and emotion from the characters  


Common mis-En-scene: Lighting, Make-up, Props/Settings, Costumes 

Used to help get the audience's attention and making movies or films make sense 


Editing: cuts, special effects, zoom, sound. 

Thrillers use fast and slow-paced editing specifically to create suspense and tension within a scene. 


Common sounds: music with odd and captivating beats, sound effects. 

The song keeps the audience on their feet, speeding up or slowing down depending on the pace of the action 


Example films of this genre: Tennent,” Nobody,”Countdown,“Hereditary,” “The Quiet Place Part II” 

These are all movies that represent the Thriller genre 

Elements we like: Some elements we like about this genre is the act of music. It could be interesting to experiment with the different music and sound effects available to our use. Another thing we like about this genre is the use of variation in the camera angles. However, this can also be used in other genres.  

Elements we dislike: Some elements that would challenge us in this genre is the use of suspense. Although we will have suspense in our film; Our suspense will come from a science fiction aspect.
