Sub-Genres

The sub-genre we focused on was psychological thrillers. 

 

 

As a response to this research, we made 2 shorts, one psychological thriller short, the other a horror thriller. This is the result:




In the first short, the setting was in a bathroom in school. The area that the bathroom is located has been renovated, and so seems a bit cut off and secluded. This helped us with avoiding any unwanted interuptions. The lighting was also very fitting, and definitely helped in giving us a scary thriller vibe.
The second short was in the art department. The dark room is very cramped and has poor lighting. Due to the limited space we had, we were severely limited by the kind of shots we were able to take.

The audio for the first short was done by Shir. The second was done by myself. I used Ableton Live 9 as my software. I wanted to create something subtle and suspenseful, rather than something that was very 'in-your-face'.
