So, the thriller genre has a need to create suspense and tension to the audience. To do this, the technical elements help develop the story beyond the script. The cinematography, editing, and sound design are the three elements I’ll be relying on apart from writing the story.
The cinematography is one of the most important elements, as everything seen on the screen matter. Some techniques I will incorporate on my short opening are tight framing, which creates a sense of intimacy and claustrophobia. Which I think would be a great way to transmit the feeling of drowning beyond the acting. The lighting is also an important element in my film opening, as there will be scenes with low lighting and others with bright lighting. The former to convey mystery and danger, and the latter to convey a false sense of security. Those are just some ways the cinematography will help me with my film opening, but there are way more details to the cinematography.
Continuing on, the editing of it bring a lot into how the thrill translate to the audience. This is especially relevant on how I will be using jump cutting. Jump cuts are supposed to jumo abruptly from shot to shot. Which will help me create a sense of disorientation, and unbalance. But more importantly, I will help me demonstrate how the chain of events in one of the main characters is missing something from how she remembers the chain of events. Cross-cutting will also be super important in the editing progress. Creating tension between what is happening to the two different characters in my film opening.
Those are just the main two technical elements of the thriller genre my film opening will be relying on. As, of course, there are mire like sound, set design, writing, etc.
