Planning: Cinematography

Cinematgaphy is important in films because different tyes of camera angles and movements have different interpretations such as capturing the action and emotion. I believe it is important to think about the cinematography, especially in thriller films becaus the different camera angles create tension within the scene.

Some conventional uses of cinematography in thrillers are reaction shot to capture the emotion on the characters face. Anther conventional one is ponit of view. This keeps the audience on the edge of their seat as they cant see what the characters going to do untill it happens.It also makes the audience feel involved with the thriller.

For our first scene we're going to use a pan/medium to show the introduction of the characters.We're going to use this camera angle as it gives the audience a better understanding of the characters as its close up and you can see teir costume at the same time.

Our next shot will be the over the shoulder shot. This is also during the time of the introduction of the characters however, its used to show a person in the distance watching the other members of the group 'Antagonist'. This creates suspense and tension for the audience as they want to find our whats going out.

Moreover the point of view will be used when the 'antagonist' is aproaching the other characters.This will allow the audience to feel a part of the thriller and like they're the character.

A pan shot will be used again to show the movement of the characters and they try and find a better location. This provides the audience with a better view of the surrounding/ environment that the characters are located in.

In addition, the reaction shot will be used when the couple find the dead body of the nerd on the floor.  This captures the emotion on the characters faces in detail helping the audience understanding of the relationship between the characters.

Lastly the last shot will be a tilt shot when the last victim is tied to a chair with torture equipment’s  Which makes the character look inferior to the audience, also it will show the surrounding of the room to show the audience where they’re located.
