How To Film A Thriller

  

Long shot establishes the scenery and is important, to inform the audience of where it is all happening.

The diagetic sound gives the film an atmosphere and the music makes us feel uneasy and suspenseful.


The camera movement is important because different shots will represent different emotions and present the character from different points of view.



The idea that is implanted into our heads through a shot like that makes us feel uneasy and since we don't know who or what is watching the character we tend to feel tension.



The pace of the music is important when trying to create tension because it tells us how to feel in any given situation. When the music speeds up we know something is about to happen or something bad is happening and the character has to act fast. The fast editing helps to keep the audience focused and ensures that they don't look away from the screen because if they did they could miss something. The shot being tilted to one side suggests that the character does not feel safe and is in potential danger.


The warm light and the fading out of musics may confuse the audience and raise questions like, Was the character really in danger? Was anything even there? Why is everything suddenly peaceful again?



We are given a false feeling that everything is okay and there is no danger anymore.


Then an extreme close up of an eye is shown suggesting that she was watching the man this whole time. The music makes us feel uneasy once again creating tension and raising questions.
