Generic Conventions Include:
Sound:
With Psychological thrillers mainly use eerie music to create suspense and keep the audience on edge. After looking at sounds we will now use eerie sounds within our film opening.
Character:
The characters can vary.
Usually there is a ‘antagonist’ within psychological thrillers, there could be a detective or police officer trying to uncover the crime that has been committed or stop the ‘antagonist’ from committing crimes. After looking at the conventons of Characters we will now have a main protagonist and antagonist.
Camera angles and Shots:
Simple tracking movement to follow characters.
Close ups to show the emotions of characters fears are normally included to show the audience and therefore keep the audience up to date with how the character/ characters are feeling.
High angle shots to be able to see a wider viewing of the location and show the character is being intimated with whatever is happening within the scene or low angle shots could be used to make the 'antagonist' or 'protagonist' look powerful. After looking at camera angles and shots we will use certain shots in order to help create suspense and atmospheres within the piece for example we will need to use close ups to show emotion of the antagonist.
Lighting:
Low key lighting is normally used to accompany the eerie mood of the music and to help create an atmosphere. we will then use low key lighting after looking at this convention to help build up our atmosphere.
Props:
Use of weapon like knives, guns, Blood and cuts and bruises if a killer is involved.
From looking at generic conventions for Psychological thrillers I have gained extra knowledge about what my film will need to include in order to be the best it can be. With what I have learnt I will then consider when planning and producing my film.
