Genre Research: Thriller

 

  1. Thriller is a genre of film that is intended to scare with suspense Common camera angles, shots, and movements in a thriller: 1. Establishing shot- sets an eerie mood. 2. Tracking shot- can show someone being followed. 3. Close up- used to show the reactions of the characters and to build suspense 4. Tilt- can signify a supernatural being entering the screen 5. Over the shoulder- builds tension, can sometimes signify someone standing behind a person. Mis en scene in thriller movies: Costumes- usually regular clothes, could be farm clothes, its really based off of setting Lighting- dark, eerie lighting to not show it is bright and cheerful Actors- actors usually vary but the most common thing they do is scream and fight. Makeup- can show dirt or bruises since they are running away and falling on the ground Props- whether it's used by the protagonist or the antagonist, there are always weapons used. Setting- settings vary; sometimes secluded. Even on a farm or on a large wealthy property Common sounds and editing of thrillers: 1. Diegetic sound- when the actor is quiet and you can hear all of their surroundings. 2. Non diegetic- the sounds of weapons, sounds of supernatural being. 3. Sound Motif 4. Incidental Music- suspenseful music. 5. Dialogue 6. Cutaway 7. Eye- line match 8. Jump cut 9. Reaction shot Things we like: The dark lighting and music such as violins as they can create a suspenseful and eerie feeling. Close up shots of the actor to show the fear on their faces. Things we don't like: We don't like weapons in the film as we are not sure if we are allowed to show them in the film because it might not be school appropriate to

This will be anything as in other pop-rap music videos, their attire is anything they want it to be. Schedule: On 11/12/21, our group researched conventions and codes of pop-rap music videos.

Title Research: Code 8

The ones that are included are the names of the actors playing big roles in the film also the names of the crew such as executive producer and costume designer. 2.What connotations do the images carry?
