Genre Research: Thriller

The genre thriller is not a sophisticated genre, it consists of many of the same elements as horror but the overall message across the board is different. While the horror genre is meant to scare you and scare you frighten; thrillers are not of the same descent. Thrillers are meant to give you a-lot of twists and turns and plot changes within a  film. The most common camera shots and movements within are usually, high angels, low angels, eye level, point of view shots, and tracking shots. These allow for the overall feel of the movie to come into play and to really be established throughout the movie. As for movements, close ups, establishing shot, trunk shots, pan etc. are frequently used in this genre. More than likely if you are watching a thriller based movie, there is a lot of running and a lot of movements, and these key movement shots are key for the different films to be not only recorded by properly understood and felt from an audience standpoint. Additionally, for sound in a lot of thriller based movies, there is usually a lot of dialogues, ambient sounds, diegetic, non-diegetic, and sound motifs. More predominantly in the US, there are a lot of ambient sounds and dietetic sounds that really add and create the overall feel that this movie gives the audience watching it. The lighting in thrillers typically depends on the type of movie, going back towards the movie US, the movie was predominantly in a dark setting. The lighting does truly contribute to the overall concept of the movie, in the feeling it develops and creates. For costumes, it really depends on the overall topic of the movie, for the movie US, the majority of the characters were in red suits, the "killers" in the movie. This also does go hand-in-hand with the acting, props, make-up, and setting, which also goes hand in hand with the overall meaning of the movie that is occurring. In conclusion, I really like how interactive thriller movies can be. The way you take a thriller movie can be in several different ways, additionally I like how all thriller movies are not always typically scary, as for horror movies which are predominantly focused on scaring the audience.

Title Deisgn Research (Muse)

1. How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones?  28 titles in total, these titles included, name of studio, name of production company, actor(s) names, film title,  music by, edited by, produced by, and directed by.  2. What connotations do the images carry? (how do they make you feel)  The connotations presented a very eerie feeling as if something was going to pop out and scare you especially since it "takes place" under water.   3. How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? (Can you tell what genre the film is)  While watching this title sequence, I was thinking that this movie may be horror or thriller related. After searching up the movie to find out if I was correct, I came to find out that the genre is horror/sci-fi. I understand the horror part since the movie is underwater and the brief description is saying that they dug something up and don't know what came out. The sc...

This is Who I Am

Hello, my name is Damaine Thompson. I do attend Fort Lauderdale High, where I am enrolled into the Cambridge program. This program solicits many opportunities, scholastically, which many other programs do not provide. This will be my last year in this program and I do wish to get it in full, and this class is one of the classes that will assist me in doing so. Moreover, I am completely involved into my school's culture. I am apart of the Fort Lauderdale "THEE SOUND" marching band. I have been apart for 3 years and looking forward to my senior year being my 4th. Band has really been a huge part in my life, with everything that I've gone through, making, playing, and listening to true music has always been my escape. I am currently the section leader of the bass section within my drumline, and I am so proud of all that we've accomplished. As for life outside of school, I recently just got a new job at a new restaurant in Las Olas. Prior to this new job, I was workin...
