Genre Research: Thriller

  For my genre research PowerPoint, I chose Thriller. My powerpoint talks about the different elements used by the director. This includes lighting, angles, makeup, acting, etc. In this genre of film usually, the director makes it suspenseful. This can be seen through lowkey lighting and casting large shadows. Just like lighting, camera movement is important to give off the setting. Examples of camera movements in a thriller are tracking, panning, and zooming. These techniques are used so the audience knows as little as the actor in the movie does. This creates the suspense of a thriller movie. As stated in the Powerpoint I created, Costumes In thrillers can be subtle or scary. A character might be dressed in “normal clothing” to trick the audience into thinking they are the good guy. On the other hand, they might be dressed up in ripped dark clothing with blood to create uncertainty or a horror effect. Makeup is also an addition to the actor's "costume". SFX is used to t...

Title Research: Watch the Titles Website

 The website ' Watch the Titles' shows the importance and hard work put into creating these opening clips. Artist Aaron Becker explains how you don't always have to match the visual effects to the language. By this, he means a title can complement a film without making it feel outcasted and plain. A title can show the abstract parts that the movie will include. This can be from frozen clips and segments displayed. By embracing the art and visualization the audience can see the color and elegance of the production. Many of the titles mimic the characters and storyline included in the film. Different edits and transitions may also be incorporated to bring in other elements. After watching the videos on this website, it opened me up to all the hard work and time put into these film titles. A lot of them I remember watching but never paid as close attention to the details until now.
