Genre Research: Thriller

 Camera angles like low-angle, close-ups, and dutch angles. Low-angles give the antagonist a feel of power. Close-ups allow the views to view the actors facial expressions and give a glimpse of potential insanity. Dutch angles also portray madness and make the audience feel uneasy. Costume in thriller movies are normal, everyday clothes to make the scenario seem possible in real reality. The lighting is low to create an ominous effect, the color palette is also dark to go along with that. Makeup is not really used unless with female actors, if they were crying they may have runny mascara, or if someone got injured there's sfx injuries. Setting may include tight spaces, dark rooms, and props include weapons like knives and normal items like phones or money. Jump cuts are used as an editing technique to make the film fast paced or to produce a jumpy-intense feeling. Graphic matches are also used to connect two scene that may have been unrelated. End of thrillers typically end in fade to black to create suspense. Over-the-shoulder shots are used with conversations. Screaming sounds are used when a character is scared. Diegetic sound effects like footsteps, and door opening also gives an ominous effect. Non-diegetic sounds are music from violins and pianos. Examples of thriller movies include Nobody, Knives Out, and Bird Box. I enjoy the suspense thriller movies incorporate. I also like when they leave on a cliffhanger to make the view want to know more. I don't like however the dark setting because it can be hard to work with especially if you don't have the funding to make it look good. I also don't like type of music that is used because it makes some films seem like horror movies. I do think this could be a fun genre to base my film off of.
