The shot mostly used in thrillers is the close up. This kind of shot is used in films such as Se7en and Phone booth. This shot is used to build suspense as it can be used to distort what the audience can see as they can only see a certain amount of the image. Also these shots build up mystery around what the camera is looking out as sometimes the audience will have to think about what the object is. However if the object is a gun for example the audience will have to figure out who will use it and what for.
We will incorporate in our thriller the use of close ups as this allows us to build mystery and suspense around certain characters as well as keeping the audience guessing about what is happening. Also many fast paced jump cuts between close ups could be used to build a fast paced momentum or to add shock into our opening scene.
The angles used in most thrillers are low angles for the hero type character as this makes the character shown seem more powerful or that they are in a powerful position. Additionally this can be used on either character as in different scenes either character may hold more power over somebody else.
In our thriller film we will use low angle shots to make our characters seem more powerful as well as being strong. However we will also use high angle shots to make our characters seem less powerful and that they are not in control. This can be used in the scene with the police detective as he will not be in control of the killers movements or killings. Additionally high angle shots can be used to set the scene of an area.
