For this blog we have to pick two other genres, we picked thriller and horror. For a thriller, there are many common themes. Many film themes include mystery, crime, and revenge. For the C.A.M.S. Many camera angles include bird's eye views for a way to look down upon something and dutch angles to show suspense. Camera shots, topically the use Close-ups for the characters reactions, shot/reverse shot to show consequences, extreme close-ups to emphasize objects and long shots to show the atmosphere. For movements, they’re usually pans or zooms that show a character, and a lot of tracking shots in a chase.
For clamps and sound, The costumes, they can be as basic as normal clothing, or regular work clothes like a doctor gown. The lighting can be very dark or bright to add suspense. The actors vary from very famous to not that known. The makeup is usually basic because its normally regular people being acted. For props it can be anything from a gun to a pencil, there are immense amounts of props in thrillers because they are either used to move the story along or just a simple everyday object. For setting it can be anything from a store to an airplane. For sound, it’s mostly diegetic like dialogue or intense background music to build tension.
For the elements, there has to be a good story. Without a good story, the movie will flop. With a good thriller, there also needs to have some sort of suspense. A viewer can't get anything out of a thriller if there is no suspense. Suspense brings tension, and tension keeps the viewer at the edge of their seats at all times. Another thing that helps the plot is the actors, without good actors, the story will just feel rushed or simple in ways. Those two things make up a good thriller. Some ways a thriller can be bad is if it’s rushed or drawn out. A lot of thriller movies are a little too drawn out or too rushed and have very shallow scripts, where it makes the movie uneventful and dry, making the movie almost funny. Besides some of the damp plots, We think that the thriller genre holds up well.
For our second genre to research, we chose horror. There is a lot of twisted and unusual camera angle in horror films. Many films use low angles to show how terrifying the villain is or a Dutch angle to intense the unusual feel of a scene. For the camera shots, topically the use of Close-ups for the characters' reactions, and tracking shots for the escape/chasing scenes. For movements, they can usually be pans or zooms that face a character, which makes the camera shot into a close-up.
For clamps, the costumes, they can be as basic as normal clothing, and as intricate as a detailed monster costume. The lighting can be very dark at times to increase the scare factor. The actors are all usually indie actors because horror films are mostly low budget films. The makeup is also as complex and important as the costumes because, for the monster/villain, it can bring out the scariest parts of the actor. The props are usually murder weapons, which include, knives, swords pistols, and other harmful objects. The settings are mostly in dark and scary areas which include: forest, a haunted house, sewers, cemeteries, and carnivals.
To continue with, the sound usually contains, goosebump giving noises that are very eerie and other unearthly sounds. For the elements, there are two prominent ones. The first and more important element of a horror movie is suspense. A viewer can't get scared of a film if there is no suspense. suspense is what keeps the audience on the edge on their seat, keeping their attention making the movie interesting and not boring. for the next element of horror, it is what causes suspense, and it is a mystery. Mystery causes suspense and it is the main driver of most horror movies. The unknown can be very terrifying, and most, or not if all movies use mystery as something for the viewer to be scared off. With all of these ideas together, we as a group like horror movies. The simple and raw energy of fear can be entertaining and something different compared to other types of emotions you get from other types of genres of film. Although we like horror films, they have some problems. A lot of horror movies are a little too corny and have a very shallow script, where it makes the movie not scary anymore, making it not even a horror movie more. Besides all of the corny horror movies, We think that the horror genre is one of the best.
