Thrillers are awesome

 Camera Angles 

Common camera angles in Thrillers are high angles, close ups, and tilted. The high angle makes the actor in the camera look vulnerable. Close-ups shows really what the actor's reaction is and how they are feeling. A tilted shot adds dramatic tension to the scene.  

Camera Shots 

Long shots and over the shoulder shots are commonly used in Thrillers. Long shots in Thrillers are used to make something feel far away or unobtainable. The over the shoulder shot builds up tension and suspense. 

Camera Movements 

A commonly used camera movement in thrillers is tracking. Tracking is used to make an actor look as if they are being watched or followed. 

Mis-En-Scene 

In a thriller the costumes are commonly casual. The lighting is usually dim and low. The acting is traditionally worried, scared, and concerned. Commonly low to no makeup. Props in thrillers are traditionally weapons for either the protagonist or the antagonist to use. The setting is usually scary, small and dark. 

Sound 

Common music in Thrillers are suspending music. Common sound effects are small noises increased to loud volume and loud noises. 

Editing  

The editing commonly used in thrillers is parallel editing. It creates suspense, tension, and also conveys the emotions of the actor.

Elements of the Genre 

 
I like that a thriller is very suspenseful and how the tension grows throughout the movie. A thriller allows for the viewer to question what’s going to happen next while they are afraid of what they are looking at. I don’t like how thrillers are very reliant on the actor's emotions and reactions. I also don’t like how the setting is usually small place
