Thrillers are made up of various camera shots to create different feelings and emotions and this helps to convey what the character is feeling. they engage the audience and open them up to be scary scenes that will make them jump.

The first camera shot that we will be including in out thriller is a panning shot. this shot is of Yeliz when she is in bed, this is to show who the main character in this film is going to be. This also tells you that she will be the victim, this is to get the audience's attention and so they will have a bind with this character so if anything is happening to her the suspence and tension will be higher.

The second shot we will include is a mid shot from outside of the window in the front door. this is also a POV of one of the bad guys. this is to let the audience know that someone is there and that the woman is in danger. this shot is also intriducing this first vilain, this is showing him to be a stalker and its also showing that he is very good at not being seen telling you that he will be hard to find after he has commited a crime.

A third shot is a close up, this is when Yeliz is getting a drink out of the fridge this shot is as important to telling you what is going to happen. This is to put the story together so it doesnt just cut to her pouring a drink of water.

The last shot that i will analysing in our thriller is a POV from Yeliz and from this you can see that she has seen someone through the relection of the glass cupboard door. this shot lets you know that Yeliz can see/ kows that someone is there and that something is going to happen. this is to create tension, supension and fear for not only te character but woth the audience and this is a convention that we really wanted to capture escpecially because as it is a thriller openintg

We have used these camera shots to get the audience involved with the film building a relationship with them and the characters. We want to create an atmosphere that the audience knew somehting was about to happen but we didnt let the character know until almost the end.

  1. This post shows some understanding of why camera shots are important to include within a production. The camera shots that you have included above shows some evidence of planning and this is evident through the different shots that you wish to include.

    Overall how will these camera shots help to make your production conventional?
