Planning Cinematography-MissMiller
Cinematography is important within the thriller genre as it will determine how each and every camera shot is produced. Cinematography is all about how it can make the audience more interested within the film by the camerawork in addition it explains the narrative in the background and we as a group aim to use a wide variety of camera shots within the thriller sequence.
A key camera shot within our groups thriller film will be the low angle shot as the killer is holding the hammer, this shot will make the killer look far superior that the other character in the sequence it also shows the strength the the character has in the film. In contrast the high angle shot will be themed at the victim to show the weaknesses that the victim possesses.The high angle shot is very stereotypical as it makes the victim look defenceless and exposed at the same time and this shot will mainly be used when her phone is ringing and as she is hiding from the killer to show the victim in the limelight as she cannot defend herself from the killer also the high and low angles shot show the differences in power between the characters.
Another camera shot that we will incorporate within our sequence is the establishing shot and the long shot to highlight the setting and characters in the sequence. The establishing shot will be used at the very start of the film as the victim is getting followed by the killer and we chose to use the establishing shot at this moment of time to get the audience a sense of the surroundings and an idea of what could happen in the film. The establishing shot is conventional to the thriller genre as is explains the narrative and surroundings that is involved within the sequence.
In addition our group will use the close up shot and the extreme close up shot in certain circumstances for example the close up could be used as the killer is hunting down the victim and it will be used to focus on the intense facial expression that the killer has upon hunting the victim down also the close up is conventional to the thriller genre as the audience has a better understanding of what happens to both the characters also the close up represents suspense and drama at the end of the thriller sequence for the audience it gives them a sense of the characters emotions that are displayed for example when we use the close up shot on the victim is can clearly be shown that she is in a state of danger
Overall the variety of camera shots will extremely enhance how effective our thriller sequence will be in terms of the codes and conventions within the thriller genre for example we aim to provide the viewers with shock,surprise and suspenseful elements which are introduced by the camerawork and inevitably it will make the film the best it can possibly be.
