Genre Blog: Thriller- Scaring Your Socks Off

  Welcome back! The next genre we decided to work on was thrillers. The thriller genre is one of gripping suspense, unpredictability, and uncertainty, which, unlike horror, focuses on the less gory aspects of scaring an audience. Using the same method as before, we'll take a look into what makes up a thriller and determine whether or not we can use its conventions in a work of our own. Camera Angles, Movement, and Shots:     In the thriller genre, the director's primary intent is to unnerve the audience without resorting to gore to do so, granted, while this may mean that they sometimes resort to cheap jump scares to creep out the audience, I would say that their use of camera angles and shots is also quite effective in getting the audience on edge.     Eye-level shots are the most used within the thriller genre and can be seen during normal conversations or when a subject looks off-screen in fear of an unspecified threat. I believe that the ...

Storyboard blog

  Hello there! Today we started and completed our storyboard. After much deliberation and (civil) argumentation over the proposal of our ideas, we decided that our commercial will follow the format found below: Scene 1:   In Scene 1, the camera will pan downwards from the sun, located at the highest point in the sky, creating an establishing shot, and being used to show just how unbearably hot it is outside during the afternoon. This camera movement will take roughly three seconds to execute. During this time, a diegetic sound of cicadas chirping will be playing, which will allow us to not only set the scene, but also the time of year before the actual dialogue even begins, being that cicadas only come out during the early summer months. That, in turn, will allow for time, which would have been used to create an exposition, to be saved, whilst also immersing the audience into the commercial itself and catching their attention from the very beginning.  Scene 2: In Sce...

Movie Conventions Blog: Brightburn- Superman Gone Wrong

  Hello! This marks my group and I's second blog for today, in which we will be discussing yet another film that is part of the science-fiction thriller genre, director David Yarovesky's 2019 film, "Brightburn." Just like we did in the last blog, let's examine each piece of this film and see how exactly it fits into this specific genre.  Camera Angles, Movement, and Shots:     When it comes to the camera angles, movement, and shots, there were quite a few used throughout the movie. One of the most often used shots was the establishing shot which portrayed various locations including the subject's house, a barn, a school, a forest, and even a restaurant. Wide shots were also used in relation to location, specifically when attempting to show the scope of the subject's destruction. A combination of a wide long shot was used when the subject was high up in the air away from the ground to emphasize the vast distance between him both literally and metaphorically...
