Thriller Research

CAMERA;
From my research I have found that establishing shots have been used in many thriller trailers as too set the scene so this something I will definitely include in my trailer. Long Shots, Mid Shots, Close Ups and Extreme Close Ups are all also commonly used in thriller trailers.

The two most commonly used shots are mid shots and close ups as these portray the emotion and generally fear of the character. The eyes can clearly be seen in a close up which is where a lot of emotion is portrayed and also evil is shown.

Low and High Angles are significantly used throughout a thriller to show the everchanging power of a character. Those filmed using a high angle are seen to be less powerful and those filmed using a Low Angle are seen to be the most dominant and in charge. From my research I also found that Eye Level was used a lot in thrillers to show a whole set of what is going on in the scene.
