Creating a genre

Our genre for our task was psychological thriller. We created this genre in many different ways. The narrative was quite a good one for this genre because we could make it a mystery quite easily. For the flashback, the camera wasn't still at all and so you have to catch up to what is happening and really concentrate which gets you tense. This gives the effect of a psychological thriller.We had to pick the right music to create the atmosphere for the short film, so we chose something that was quite fast pace and used a Muse song to set the tension. For the mise en scene we had to think about costume. For the flashbacks we had to get the right clothes for different era's. We also used the parcel as a prop which had a sense of mystery to it which gave the psychological thriller feel to it. Finally, the editing is the most important in making the film a psychological thriller because it's where we put all the flashbacks together and put in the sound to create the tension.
