Genre Research: Thrillers

 Starting off with thriller, the genre my pitch will be following. A favorite of mine, as movies like “Get Out” (2019) and the classic “Psycho” fall under this category, I thought it was only fitting to research this one first.  CAMS  In the thriller genre, filmmakers often employ high-contrast lighting to create intense shadows and suspenseful atmospheres. They strategically use low-angle shots to instill a sense of vulnerability and rely on both steady and handheld camera movements to evoke tension and urgency. Close-up shots capturing characters' facial expressions and conveying emotions, along with tracking shots to build suspense, are prevalent techniques. SOUND As for sound, Thriller films commonly incorporate tense and suspenseful music to elevate the mood. they also like to use periods of silence followed by quick, jarring noises. Thriller films like to use high intensity music in moments to engage the audience and keep them on the edge of their seat. CLAMPS Shado...

With my last few blogs, I had the task of reshooting all my unusable footage. This proved frustrating as I had already fully edited my short sequence. So, having to go back and reshoot, then take apart my project, THEN insert those clips back in, was difficult.  As I watched the horror short sequence that I had made for my class project, I realized that it needed a lot of work. The pacing was off, and the scares weren't as effective as I had hoped. I knew that I would have to re-edit the entire sequence if I wanted to improve it. It was frustrating to have to start over, but I was determined to make it better.  I began by rearranging the order of the shots to create a more cohesive story. Next, I focused on the sound design, adding in more atmospheric sound effects to heighten the tension. I also experimented with different music tracks to find the perfect score for the sequence. The music I used in the first half of the sequence sounded slightly corny. So I did more research ...
