short film research: Porcupine/ thriller

 Hello bloggers, today I watched the short film porcupine along with others and understood the tendencies of thriller films as a whole

a. The dialogue is usually more towards the scary or anxious side giving the effect of how the actors feel during the film. This comes with other sounds and background music to create an eerie feeling for the film.

b. Costumes are often used such as normal clothing to fit the environment the characters are in. Lighting is usually low or dim to feed into the eerie vibe of the film and adding suspense. The actors are usually in distress or experiencing some sort of scary problem which gives that feeling to the audience. Props like weapons are commonly used to fit the story of the film. The setting of the film is often in isolated locations where more trouble can happen without help from others .

c. Editing strategies like quick cuts, cross- cutting  and other transitions are also often displayed to enhance the effects of the film to the audience

d. The Girlfriend Game, Don't Move, and Never Let Go are other films that are in the same genre 

e. I like the effect of suspense the films give off and just the anxious feeling of what will happen next. It gives a bit of excitement to the audience and you can engage into the film much more

f.  The films are usually very predictable most of the time which takes away some of the excitement of watching the film which is really the only downside I see of this genre of film
