What Is A Thriller

In our lessons we have been studying the film 'The Usual Suspects'. This films genre is a thriller movie and I have descovered that to create a thriller movie there are five techniques used to create this. The lighting, the sound, Mis-en-scene, Editing and the camera angles and types. These five techniques bring out the mood of the film and it also gives the audience a bigger and clearer view of the genre and the story line of the film. With 'Usual Suspects' these techniques were all used. We studied the first 7 minutes of 'Usual Suspects' and we found out that this film is a thriller by seeing the dark lighting, dramatic musical sounding, the tracking shots of the camera, etc. The front cover of the 'Usual Suspects' showed us that it was a thriller by the big bold red writing, the five men standing in the prsion all lined up and what the five characters were wearing.

Photography and Images minipulation

Photography brings a visual language that is universal in understanding. We must then understand its vocabulary which consists of shapes, textures, patterns, lines, colours, shade of light to dark and sharp to blurry images. Just as we must learn to arrange words in a coherent order in order to make sense when we write or speak, so too must we put visual elements together in an organized manner if our photographs are to convey their meaning clearly and vividly.

 

Composition means arrangement: the orderly putting together of parts to make a unified whole; composition through a personal, intuitive act. However, there are basic principles that govern the way visual elements behave and interact when you combine them inside the four borders of a photograph. Once we have sharpened our vision and grasped these basic ideas of principles, then we will have the potential for making our photographs more exciting and effective than ever before.

Last week we started to learn about photoshop and how it works. We were taught how to layer different images into eachother as well as learning how to change the colour of the image to create an effect of one image. so the two images would blend in with eachother. We also learned how to cut part of an image and then copy and paste it onto another image so it can create a different image to the original one before. After that we learned how to take a bit of one image and then re-create it without having to copy and paste it. we also learned how to create four objects which was the same object before. For example we learned how to create one person into four versions of that person. we learned how to turn the layer horizontal, verticle, etc. This helped us when we had the task to create a reflextion in water of the object of our image.
