As our new project includes creating a thriller film and recording it, for our coursework; we have been asked to research a thriller film and write down the conversions of them. First I have thought to consider what is a thriller film? what defines them?
A thriller film is a film, genuinely face paced with a lot of suspense in places, including an antagonist and protagonist character, when there is disruption in the equilibrium. The plot usually becomes tense, waiting for the climax to reach the conclusion.
After considering the basics of a thriller film, I was led to consider, what aspects make a thriller different to any other media in terms of filming?
Usually throughout thriller films generally; the lighting will be low, with quick cuts showing tension, music representing the dark and tense mood, often diegetic sounds of breathing, montage shots showing parts of the action and finally the protagonist is in the mercy of the antagonist.
In regards to characters, I pondered about how they are often presented?
There is almost always an protagonist and an antagonist. With the protagonist wanting to restore peace and generally not doing anything specifically wrong, the antagonist will most likely have a hidden personality which is uncovered later on, seeking revenge on the protagonist throughout the thriller.
After watching a thriller as an audience, I wondered, how do thrillers make the audience feel?
The audience should be expected, after watching a thriller film, to be thoroughly convinced that the events within the film could happen to them. Feeling scared, they should be fully invested in the film and the realistic style of the plot.
After investigating thriller films, it only makes me more excited to research more and decide what I will include in my thriller film coursework.
