                                                     Cinematography

Cinematography is crucial in films because it makes it interesting and it gives  a clear representations of characters.I believe that it is important to think about cinematography, especially in thriller  films because it includes the camera angles and shots ,camera movements  and the lighting within the frame shot. In our thriller we hope to create tension towards the audience when it comes to a dramatic in our scene.without  cinematography films would not have the same impact  on the audience or we won't be able to have impact on the film.

 

An example of some conventional use of cinematography will be when the audience are shown  close up  in order to build a relationship between the characters and the audience  for example  the audience see a close up a someone is crying, this will immediately make the audience feel sympathy for that particular character that's been shown on the screen.

 

 

1- A pan medium shot will be used  to introduce all the characters, this will give the audience an understanding of the characters as the characters will be introduce so that they will know type of character is represented as within the opening scene.

 

2-We will use over shoulder to show the mystery character want to know who it is,  this will create suspense for the audience as they don't know who this character is yet  because he is giving his back to the audience this will  make the audience what to know this character.

 

3-  We will use a point of view shot  to show the mystery character approaching the group of friends, this will create tension and it will make the audience feel more involved as they  would want to know whats happening to them.

 

4-  We will use pan shot  to show movement of the characters and their surrounding,  this will give the audience of what the area that their are in.

 

 

5- We will use hand held  to show the nerds falling over  this will show the emotions of the character  through the shaking of the falling of the nerd. this will make the audience feel  focus on the movement of the character.

 

 

6-  we will use reaction shot  when  the couple find the nerds body in the forest, this will show the audience how the characters feels if they were in their situation.

 

7- We will use high angle to the mystery character tied on a chair. This will show the audience that the mystery character is inferior and not an antagonist as the audience most of thought the mystery character  was the antagonist.

 

 

Conclusion:  due to planning cinematography  I am able to understand what my thriller will be like while going back to my book to decide on what type of camera shot i will use into my thriller. The planning has  made it easier for me and the rest of my group, this has made me feel more confident learning how to use cinematography.
