How to Film a Thriller



The techniques used in this short film are based on thriller conventions. It showcases a variety of camera angles and sound techniques. A long shot is used to capture the setting that is present, then a point of view shot is shown.


A birdseye view is shot above the main actor making him seem vulnerable and isolated. Furthermore,
sinister music build up to create suspense and a sign that danger is among him.

Afterwards, there is a small frame of the man in the shot surrounded by a crack in the wall. This can imply how someone is watching him secretly, which creates a suspenseful atmosphere. 


A point of view shot is shown at a low angle in a fast pace. This indicates the audience how something is heading to get the man. 


Next, the wormseye view is there illustrating how the man is extremely big and tall. During this scene fast pace editing occurs, suggesting danger is ahead an tilted shots of the setting.


The last scene is a extreme close up of someones eye with menacing diegetic music in the background, which creates a cliffhanger.
