More research about new genre

February 28, 2019

MORE!

Hey guys I’m back again!! I decided it would be a great idea to extend my research about the new genre we decided to work with. I believe the data in the previous post was lacking several crucial information. The information I’m about to advocate is paramount and a must do. It will really help the team out when making our film opening and knowing what to include.

THRILLER

So it’s important to remember that these films are mainly to promote suspense, excitement, uncertainty, and anxiety. The whole goal with these features is to keep the audience at the edge of their seats. This intense tension usually arises when the protagonist has to face difficult obstacles, mysteries, or situations that seem impossible to get out of.

Jaws & how it acts as a thriller

In this film, captain Quint, Matt Hooper, and Brody are on a mission to discover the known ‘killer beast’. These main protagonist put themselves in horrible situations and have to face men vs nature while the men are vulnerable in the middle of the water. As the viewers acknowledges that the famous kill beast (shark) is somewhere around, they get anxiety. This is due to the fact that they don’t know when the shark is going to attack or where it is. It also works as a thriller since these main characters are stuck in an impossible situation to survive from.

We want to apply the same tension with our film opening. The free psychopath roaming around can act the same way as the shark somewhere in the water. This idea of the psychopath will really help adopting the scenes as a thriller genre since it will create a lot of anxiety.

My group and I came against two amazing films that we want to get some tips of that both include psychopaths. These movies are called Orphan & Split and we are looking to base some of our decisions from them however we want to be creative and original at the same time. My team and I are looking forward to gathering up one day and watching these films together while being able to stop throughout the scenes, take notes, analyze composition in each scene, setting, and much more!

Here are the two example that my team and I will be watching very soon!

We are also planning on watching videos on how to create blood, lighting, and much more so be on the lookout for these interesting stuff!

See you next time!! :))
