How to film a thriller

How to film a thriller

The thriller conventions that I managed to detect that are in this film:
parallel & digetic sound, low-key lighting and fast editing as well as a variety of shots.


Low key lighting

The use  of low key lighting is like a connotation of how unclear the mystery is and how its very eerie.











Fast Editing

I could not create a gif but in this part of the clip there is a lot of fast editing. Fast editing is a good signal or sign that something sudden is about to happen and the speed that is used can show you how fast its going to happen. it can also suggest that the character(s) are afraid.








Close-Up

Using an extreme close up is useful because it gives the audience a strong relation of how he is feeling according to his facial expression and the way it takes up the majority of the screen not giving the audience a choice to look somewhere else.









Low Angle

The use of this shot is that it give the audience an idea of what the creature maybe without revealing for example from this shot we assume the creature is a snake or something close to the ground.











Extreme Close-Up

Using the technique of an extreme close up  is helpful for adding a dramatic feel to a certain scene.
