Within (2018) - Christopher Key



 a. Typical Thriller Sound: 

* Spooky music: To heighten the tension, scary music is frequently used in thrillers.

* Background noises: You can heighten the suspense by including sounds like creaking doors or footsteps.

b. Typical Mis-En-Scène (CLAMPS) in Thriller: 

* Dim lighting: Things are made tense and mysterious by the use of darkness and shadows.

* Spooky locations: The suspenseful atmosphere of a thriller is enhanced by abandoned or dimly lit areas.

* Meaningful attire: Characters dress in ways that convey their emotions or heighten the tension.

c. Typical Thriller Editing: 

* Rapid cuts: Rapid editing heightens the suspense and urgency.

* Montage sequences: Brief segments that cleverly convey information or increase suspense

* Jump cuts: The abrupt changes give the impression that the film is erratic.

d. Thriller Film Examples: 

* David Fincher's "Se7en" (1995)

* David Fincher's "Gone Girl" (2014); 

*Jonathan Demme's "The Silence of the Lambs" (1991). 

 E. Features of the Genre I Enjoy: 

* Unexpected turns: I adore films that keep me on the edge of my seat and contain surprising turns. Great cinematography: I love suspenseful films with great visuals.

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

* Predictable plots: I don't like movies that follow dull, cliched stories without any surprises. * Too much violence: I don't like it when there's too much violence without a good reason.
