Alma (2009) - Rodrigo Blaas



 a. Typical Thriller Sound: * Spooky music: To create tension, thrillers frequently use powerful and unsettling music.

* Minimal sounds: They don't overdo the sound effects, just enough to keep you on edge.

Common Mis-En-Scène (CLAMPS) in Thriller: * Dim lighting: The combination of darkness and shadows evokes a spooky and enigmatic atmosphere.

* Weird settings: Unusual or spooky locations heighten the feeling of unease.

* Unsettling objects: Dolls and mirrors are examples of items that may be used to frighten you.

c. Typical Thriller Editing: * Rapid cuts: These add a lot of intensity and keep you on the edge of your seat.

* Juxtaposition: Irony or suspense are created by juxtaposing scenes or images.

* Slow motion: Delaying some scenes lengthens the suspense and highlights key moments.

d. Typical Movies of Thriller:

* Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" (1960) * M. Night Shyamalan's "The Sixth Sense" (1999) * Jonathan Demme's "Silence of the Lambs" (1991) Elements of the Genre That I Like: * Surprising twists: I love when thrillers keep me guessing with unexpected plot turns. * Cool cinematography: Visuals that make the movie suspenseful and a bit creepy.

f. The aspects of the genre that I find unappealing are:

* Too much gore: I'm not a fan of thrillers that have too much graphic violence just for shock. * Boring plots: Thrillers that follow the same old stories without anything new don't interest me
