Cinematography

The film that is shown above is not my own piece of work however I am using it for evaluation purposes only. The short film had no general storyline, as it was just mainly a series of different camera shots blended together which include; long shot, pan shot, wide shot, extreme close up, close up, point of view, low shot, crane shot and high shot. Unfortunately due to lack of time, they were unable to include all shots. 

The camera techniques used below will be shown below: 
Long shot- It is a shot that is from a long distance and is usually used to begging the opening of a scene or movie. it sets in motion the audience perception of time, place and logical action of the scene that is about to happen. 

Pan Shot- This is a shot where the camera moves from right to left or left to right. 

Extreme Close Up - A shot where it is fixated on particularly one thing, e.g eyes. It is used to show mystery, dramatic effect, detail and curiosity.

Close Up- This is a shot where it is tightly framed on a person or object.


Medium Shot- This is a commonly used shot. If the shot is not long or a close up it is a medium shot.

Crane Shot- This is a shot that is taken with a crane. This is used to get a high angle of an actor and to move up and far away from them, this is commonly used to end a scene or movie.

In my opinion, they did not use as many camera techniques as they could of. They could of also included, rolling shot, tracking shot, over the shoulder shot, POV Shot and high and low angle shot.

Rolling Shot- A shot in which someone is moving side ways. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xuLzrKjp80

Tracking Shot- This is a shot where a person's movement is followed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKuGWHyz-gI

Over the Shoulder shot- This is a shot commonly used during a conversation, this is where the camera is looking over someones shoulder to see the other person talking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgC5wVdecPk


POV Shot- A shot in which you can see from the characters point of view. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOYQ_jLyS_0

High angle shot- This is a shot taken from a high angle which usually portrays someone to be weak and vulnerable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V1uE1-wTPs

Low angle shot- This is a low taken from a low angle which portrays a person to be dominant and powerful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V1uE1-wTPs

How to film a thriller

Camera: This starts off with a long shot, this is used to set the scene for the audience so we know the surroundings that the character is in. It then goes into handheld POV shot to show that the character is still going on their path. This follows by a long shot which shows head to foot and a high angle shot which conveys his vulnerability as he is alone. We also get a tracking shot which follows the characters movement.  This is then followed by a medium close up shot so we can understand the character, however and see their facial expressions to understand what they could be feeling. This is soon followed by a wide angle shot and a high angle shot of the character as he continues to walk. This shows how that he could be at risk of something bad which may be about to happen, this is confirmed by the camera tilting. Additionally, we get a POV shot of the character walking into the cave which builds tension as we are unaware of what is beyond the entrance. However, as the character enters the cave,we get a shot reverse shot of the character and then of what he sees, this builds tension as we are mad to feel as if we are actually there. We then get a shot of the character through an opening which suggests that there may be a hidden watcher. Additionally, as the character puts up the object we get a low angle shot of him looking at it which reveals his endangered risk. As the character hears his potential threat, we get a close up of the character which shows his reaction and unfolds his danger. The canted angle shots suggest danger to the character.  As the audience wonder if everything is gone and the threat is gone, we get an extreme close up of an eye which suggests that the character is being watched and the threat is not over.


Sound: This scene starts off with diegetic natural sound, which is the sound of birds. As the character continues his path and comes into the cave, we hear sinister music suggests danger and potential threat, as he enters and carries on walking inside we hear a deep note which suggest suspense. We then hear diegetic sound as we hear his feet splashing in puddles and the sound of dripping water, which is an added sound effect. We then get a glimpse of something moving viciously through the path which sinister sound effect, this suggests that something dangerous is lurking and may be looking for the character who is the in cave. As we get fast cuts of the different angles in the cave we hear fast threatening music which matches the action of terror and fear. We then hear diegetic sound as the character starts breathing fast. However, as the character comes out of the cave, the music and heavy breathing fade out which shows relief as the threat could possibly gone. We then hear silence, which confuses the audience as they are unaware if the threat is gone or still there. We then hear diegetic sound of the birds which goes back to the beginning of the scene where the audience could hear the birds, which calms the audience down and creates  a calm atmosphere.  However, we suddenly hear ominous music which startles the audience as we know that there is still a threat and someone lurking out there.

Editing: As the scene starts it shows the character walking along a path, it then goes into a cross dissolve which leaves out part of the journey. This is effective because it is quick and shows the audience that the character is still continuing their journey, which showing the character walking all the way which will make the audience restless and bored.  The cuts are also very fast and are around 2 seconds per shot, this builds the tension for the audience because it creates fast pacing.  As the character enters the cave, shot reverse shot has been used at the character and then of what he is looking at. There is then parallel editing cuts between inside and outside which build up the tension and fear as the audience are wondering what is lurking and what the threat is, the audience are now also scared for the character and what him to escape. The fast editing pace used builds the fear within the audience and gives a rush and adrenaline. The editing is on the the action and during the movement. As the character finally escapes out of the cave the vision becomes slightly blurred which suggests something is still not right and the character is confused about what is going on.

Miss En Scene: This scene seems to start off as being set at a countryside with a small path way or the woods. The character is dressed in normal casual clothes and seems to be vulnerable and no threat at all. There seems to be no one in sight which creates more suspense and tension as it makes the character appear in fear and vulnerable. As the character continues his path, we see him enter a cave, with no one in and and nothing inside but small objects. The water is dripping through into the cave which shows that it is deserted and no one is around. The lighting is dark in the cave which also builds tension as the character and audience may not know what is lurking around.

Title: Blood Thirst

Synopsis: The lonely and distraught 17 year old Trevor Williams loves to kill. He has no mercy for those who care about him the most, if he has a desire to see their blood spill from their bodies; he will make sure it happens. Even after a forensic psychologist, who's working closely with the police needs, questions him to try and understand his thought process soon becomes a victim of his long list of brutal murders. During the questioning process, Trevor begins to have flashbacks about his most recent murder and dwells upon the excitement he gains from seeing her blood.

Key Genre Conventions: Cliff-hanger: This is presented right at the end of the thriller. The interview has taken Trevor's lust for reached new heights. As soon as the psychologist warns Trevor upon the prison sentence he may face, his comfortable response leads to him clicking his fingers and blacking out the lights where the audience is to assume he kills the psychologist or maybe Trevor is to be killed. Suspense: This is presented as soon as Trevor sees the vulnerable female walking by the car park, and notices he can get fresh blood within minutes. The girl doesn't know he's coming, he creeps up behind her and at the last minute she turns around and screams; but as always, with Trevor Williams, it's already too late. Hero: This role is displayed by the forensic psychologist who intends to help Trevor and uncover his dark    side to change his ways and rewire his thought process. Villain: This is portrayed by the main character, Trevor, who reveals his utter desire to kill and lack of emotion and affection for anyone else besides himself.
