Genre Research: Thriller

-

 - Tilted angles and point of view shots are two of the most used shots in thriller. Tilted shots emphasize dramatics of the scene while point of view shows what the main character is seeing and what is causing their reactions.

- Typically, in thriller movies, the characters have blood stains on their costumes or on themselves and can have tears in their clothes from previous scenes. Most of the time, the main props in these films are weapons used to scare other characters. Makeup can also be a strong component not only when it comes to blood but when it comes to fictional creatures.

- The editing for thrillers is usually very fast paced, and has a dark eerie filter on it to make the audience feel uneasy. 

- The sound in these films are usually only used to scare the audience. For example when something big happens, they used a loud noise to make people jump out of their seats. There is also a lot of screaming and noises added onto the film. For example, when a person is using a weapon, noise is usually put over the scene to emphasize it.

- Example include: Parasite, Luckiest Girl Alive, and Don't Worry Darling.

- I enjoy this genre because it leaves me on the edge and gets my adrenaline going.

-Something I do not enjoy is that it can be confused with horror very easily. Both of these genres can overlap into each other and a movie can be both of them.

 Hello and welcome back to the Filmer's Guide Podcast where I discuss all things film. If you are new here, I am your host, Reagan Haskell, a short film enthusiast that spends my time creating and directing new ideas to produce into the world. Recently, my team and I have produced a film called An Eye for an Eye, which is about two young girls, Hazel and Vivian, both of which were bullied endlessly by their classmates. One day, they are pushed to their limit and begin to go on a killing spree of everyone who has ever wronged them.  As most of you know, after I produce short films, I like to give a Q and A about the process and my perspective on the film. So, on my Instagram, I told my followers to ask me questions and I will be answering them for you today.  The first question, asked by Percy Harding was, "How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups?" So, I feel like most thriller movies show the perspective of the protagonis...

          To film this trailer like we wish my partner, Hayley, and I have to film these shots at several locations. For example, for the scene in Hazel's room where the two girls are developing their "kill list" we plan to use Hayley's room. We will also be using the bulletin board in her room as a prop to make the revenge board. For the scene where Matt Brown is being shoved into the pool, we plan to use Hayley's pool in her backyard. For the scene where Jessica is getting shoved into the road, we plan to safely use the street in her neighborhood. Other scenes such as Aaron walking alone and being followed will also be shot in the same neighborhood. However, for the first opening scene, it is not known specifically where we can shoot this. As time gets closer and we begin production, hopefully this issue will be resolved.     The safety of the film is our top priority. Since, there are a lot of death scenes and dangerous stunts that need to be p...
