CAMERA-
- Close up shots- Used to convey characters emotions or conversation at pinnacle moments in climactic scenes.
- Establishing Shots/ Long shots- Used to establish the setting and its atmosphere as well as displaying characters in that setting.
- Tracking/Pan shots- Used in chases and fast moving action so the audience can keep up with it.
- Zoom In/Out- Used to focus the audiences attention onto something or to present that something within its current environment.
- Slow-motion- Used to slow down time in film so the audience can take a look at very fast moving action such as gun fire/explosions.
- Documentary style- Used in many Thrillers for a realistic first hand view making the action that more exciting.
EDITING-
- Jump cuts- Used so the audience can witness two different scenes happen at the same time within the film's time frame. Can also be used to fast forward time skipping out the irrelevant or boring scenes.
- Quick cutting rate- Used to give the appearance of a fast moving scene or add to a slower scene to give it more fluid and smoother movement.
- Flashbacks- Used so the audience can witness a previous event or scene that is key or relevant to the current one. May be used to show a character having an "epiphany" type moment.
MISE EN SCENE-
- Props- Variety of weapons; guns, knives, crowbars etc. mirrors, blood, fast vehicles, advanced techonology.
- Low Key Lighting- Creating shadows and darkness- perfect for an antagonist to hide in. Associated with monsters, the unknown, death etc.
- Range of settings- From a spaceship to the urban sprawl to a dense, dark forest.
- Costumes- Masks, blood stained clothes, trenchcoats, uniforms, suits.
SOUND-
