- Cinematography Planning (Miss Begum)-
Cinematography is important in films because it helps the director pick shots to make the audience feel in a particular way. It also captures what’s going on in the scene in a way that causes fear in thrillers. I believe it is important to think about the cinematography, especially in thriller films because it is important to make your audience feel scared and show what’s going on.
The cinematography I plan to use in my thriller is the ‘high angle’ this makes the actor or the actress look weak during the film (Small and vulnerable) also the ‘Low angle’ this can make the actor or actress (Dominant and strong) the director would use this shot to make the audience feel in a certain way.
1. (Close-up) will be used when the director wants to bring tension between the audiences, For example having a close up of the killer. I have chosen to use this because it causes a lot of fear on the audience this is conventional to the thriller genre because it is allowed to have this type of material during the film, E.g. Death, Killers and mind games.
2. (Extreme long shot) contains a large amount of landscape. It is regularly used at the beginning of my scene or a film to establish general location (setting). This is also known as an establishing shot.
3. (Long shot) covers a complete view of my characters. From this shot, viewers can take in the costumes of characters and may also help to reveal the relationships between my characters.
(Can use one type of cinematography more than once, e.g. Close-up, just discuss its use for the different action?)
Planning: Editing Planning (Miss Begum)
Editing is important in films because it plays a big part in them for example; slowing down a clip brings excitement between the audiences. I believe it is important to think about the editing, especially in thriller films because it brings excitement during the film for example, when someone gets shot the editor will then edited the raw clip to make the audience shocked.
Some of the conventional uses of editing in thrillers are (Fade Out): A shot that starts at full exposure and gradually fades to black.
The editing I plan to use in my thriller consists of the following:
1. Slow paced editing will be used when the director wants to slow down a clip to bring tension between the audiences. I have chosen to use this because it has a lot of effect on the views for example, it the actor or actress was to jump of a building I would or the director would use that clip to be slowed down. This is conventional to the thriller genre because when the victim is running away from her or is his killer they slow it down to make it look like the killer it catching up.
2. (Montage) Scenes whose emotional impact and visual design are achieved through the editing together of many brief shots. The shower scene from ‘Psycho’ is an example of montage editing.
3. (Rough cut) the editor's first pass at assembling the shots into a film, before constriction and improving occurs.

Adam, little and basic evidence of planning.
ReplyDeleteThis should be two seperate posts, one on editing, and one on cinematogrpahy identifying which types you plan to use in your group thriller.
You should state what you plan to use, when you plan to use it and why.
You need to discuss this with your group as clearly your attendance is becoming an issue here.
