Genre Research: Thriller



Thillers:

What seperates thriller from horror is that thrillers hold more jumpscare and less gore than horror films.  

There is limited makeup usage to make charcaters more relatable to the audience. In a similar fashion, clothing will be casual to make the film more realistic.The lighting will be in a dark and cool tone to present a more omunious mood. The setting of the thriller usually take part in places eeire in nature, like a abaonded house for example. Relating to this, usually in climatic scenes, the chararcter would be in a isolated or space that feels limiting and claustrophobic. Actors, the victims are fearful, while the offender is unrelenting and uncanny. Women usually express distress with messed up makeup.

What makes thriller a great genre are the jumpscares. It something that cannot be replicated in any other genre. It is also what I dont like about thrillers, to capture a good jumpscare is difficult, without revealing said jumpscare before its time.

Examples of Thriller:

SAW X

The scenes where it rapidly switched from me speaking to my inner voice were difficult to put in proper order. I kept getting the order confused and overthinking it. After looking back at my storyboard, I decided to go with the flow. After all, I could fix it later. If I woke up late in the middle of the night to realize my mistake, only I would really know. Don't be like me. After putting the shots and scenes wher...

Hands reach out and touch the screen in a monochromatic color pallete. We see a glimpse of a tunnel, a violen being mishandled. X-ray shots, photogrpahs, text and equation that hint at a mystery or give clues to the plot.The camera cuts to a plane with redlights flashing, a clear reference of the title. How does the opening sequence capture the mood of a thriller? Immeditaly, a tense climax is played and is quickly silenced, scaring the viewers, it constantly flunctates this point as the opening sequence continues.
