Genre Research: Thriller


In this Genre research PowerPoint, I researched many different aspects of thriller films. I have explained the many common features that are seen in thriller movies. Areas such as camera angles, lighting and sound were displayed and the common use of it in thrillers. I have also provided example of the specific term being used in a thriller movie. For example, I displayed an image of three-point lighting with an image from the thriller movie "Get Out". 

    To continue, I started off with the lighting aspect of thriller movies. One of the most common lighting is low-key lighting which is a sort of dark lighting. Another lighting that is often seen in thrillers is three-point lighting. This type of lighting comes from three different directions in order to present a sense of depth in the frame. Thrillers movies include many different lighting but these to are the most common ones that are seen.

    Furthermore, the PowerPoint displays a series of camera angles and shots from thriller movies. Canted angles and high angles are usually used. The canted angle is where the camera position is tilted and therefore, recorded in a slanted direction. High angles are when the camera looks down causing the subject to look insignificant. As far as shots, there are many common ones you would normally see a thriller film such as pan, tilt, track, hand-held and zoom. Pans are used to follow a moving subject or scan a scene which is important when displaying a setting or following a character. Tilt is pivoting the camera vertically and track moving the camera away from the subject. Then there's hand-held which is pretty self-explanatory and zoom which gives an illusion to a certain subject.

    All in all, like any other movie there are costumes, makeup, multiple settings, etc. Each of those factors are displayed in this PowerPoint as well as, a variety of different sounds. I have also explained the different elements of thriller and those that appeal to me. Overall, a lot of work is put into the filming process of  a thriller movie that makes it stand out from any other genre and, that is what this PowerPoint presents.

Editing

 After my group finished, I finally was able to get work done. My task was only to edit the mall and park scene. I think maybe Dezyrae wanted to edit the house scenes. I am not sure completely sure on who did it. Editing was very easy going. It was not difficult nor complicated at all. First, I made sure to go over every scene. I wanted to see if it followed the storyboard. I only obtained the scenes from the mall and park. The process of trimming went well. I did not have any difficulty with it. I trimmed the parts that were not needed. While trimming, I kept in mind that I did not want the videos to be too long. The final task should only be two minutes. Although, I had trouble editing the transitions. I was not sure which part to trim. So, the transitions are probably very bad. I probably could had done a better job for the transitions but it costed money to get access to the different transitions. I tried to use other editing apps. Unfortunately, almost all of them required pay...

Creative Critical Reflection

1. My product uses conventions by that I clarified about the product to help readers to completely understand what my product is used for. I would say that this product is welcome to all hair types. Growing up, I struggled to find hair brushes that will not cause unnecessary damage to my hair. I have tightly coiled hair so, my hair is hard to tame. Those with the same hair type as me, or a hair type closer than it, finally know a product that is pain-free and detangles just fine. 2. My product engages with audiences by that we all struggled to find the right tools that would work for our hair. It is important for us to choose products that will work for our hair and prevent hair damage. This would be distributed as a real media text through a commercial. A commercial would do good at explaining this product more. People will be informed about how this product can work for your hair and reduce damage.  3.I would say that my production skills improved a bit while working on the comme...

  What elements of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have?  An element we'll be using in our final task is intense music. We want to create a lot of suspense in our movie. So when the girl receives the texts/letters, we'll use intense music. We'll also be using the element normality. The girl is going to pretend nothing is wrong during the task. The other girls won't know anything's wrong, so they'll also be acting normal. What elements of the genre did the movie have that you like? Intensity: At the beginning of the movie, Sandra is explaining to the kids that they must remain silent and alert. As she explains, the audience gets an intense feeling. Intense music/ sound motifs: After the beginning scene, there's intense music and the sound of the creature playing. This keeps the audience on their toes because it feels as if something is about to happen. Normality: While Sandra and the kids are on the water, the scene switche...
