Diving into Thriller

 

Don't be too scared my loyal listeners! It it time for me to look at my final genre which I personally think will fit the best.


CAMS

High and Low Angles: Used to create tension and emphasize power dynamics.
Tracking Shots: Follow characters to build anticipation.
Over-the-Shoulder Shots: Emphasizing a character's perspective.
POV Shots: Placing the audience in the character's viewpoint.
Dutch Angles: Tilting the camera to create a sense of unease or disorientation.
Close-ups: To capture intense facial expressions and build suspense.

CLAMPS

Costume: Dark and muted colors for a mysterious look.
Makeup: Natural looks or minimal makeup for a realistic feel.
Setting: Use of atmospheric settings like abandoned places or confined spaces.
Props: Props that serve as clues or symbols, contributing to the plot.

EDITING

Cross-cutting between different storylines for suspense.
Action Match: used to emphasize an action that builds suspense
Also, quick cuts and abrupt transitions are used to maintain tension.

SOUND

Dialogue: Minimalistic and purposeful dialogue.
Diegetic Sound: used to build suspense when characters can't see where sound is coming from.
Sound Motif: main threat/villian has this to signal they are coming or something will happen.

EXAMPLE FILMS

Scream- There is too many to count
Dr. Strange and the multiverse of madness: A great first start for new thriller fans
IT: very scary due to the killer clown living in the sewers waiting for children

ELEMENTS I LIKE

For my own video creation in the Thriller genre, I would emphasize the importance of building suspense through a combination of effective camera work, lighting, and sound design. I would strive to create a mysterious atmosphere and engage the audience with unexpected twists and turns.

ELEMENTS I DON'T LIKE

I would avoid relying solely on jump scares or excessive gore without a compelling narrative purpose. While these elements can be effective when used judiciously, I would prioritize a well-crafted story that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats through tension and psychological intrigue rather than relying solely on shock value.

Planning Blog (Title Design)

Hello, my loyal listeners! I am here to explain my title design!  The opening credits for my film will be jagged white with blood dripping at the end of some letters. This is to give an ominous atmosphere to not suggest what will happen. The font title will be "Got Heroin"  and the job titles will be either "Jokerman" or "Impact". Working title: Betrayal It will be a scary font that must be in all caps. Titles will all be in the same set of fonts, with all the titles of positions in the same font, and the names of the position holders in the same font Titles will fade in and out Titles will stay for 2-3.5 seconds The font colors will be either a blood red or a white/gray color. The name of the job will be 3 font sizes smaller than the person holding the job.

Approaching The Spooky Editing Time!

  I know you all didn’t miss me that much. How could you? I was only gone for a little while this time! As you all know, we have filmed most of our music videos, and our next step is to start editing. But before we do that, we need some critiques so during my swim meet I was able to show my music video to some of my teammates. We mostly received positive feedback! Renato and I were extremely happy with this field test. We were told that we could tell who the characters were and that our group filling in roles was not really a problem. We were told multiple times our acting needs a lot of work but come on what do you expect ? I ain’t no Denzel Washington or Tom Hanks ! Besides that, they said which shots to use out of the multiple takes and they were typically the ones we chose as a group. Our new challenge is to edit. The pr oblem is we are not quite sure which editing software to use. There have been multiple debates about using something besides caput so the produc...
