Welcome to my blog!
He’s Watching… a psychological thriller that throws you head first into the mind of a serial killer. In just the first two minutes of this film, viewers will become enthralled with the sick mind of a young girls predator. In a crowded city, it is easy for one person to disappear quietly and unnoticed. As she goes about her daily routine, the camera follows her from the perspective of an obsessed trapper. It is made immediately obvious that she is being watched. Suspense builds as her potential attacker gets closer and closer, and the girls location become more intimate, making the viewer wonder if the attacker will take this opportunity to make his move.
The Thriller Genre & Conventions
This genre has a known reputation for challenging people with the extent to which humanity can display its most evil characteristics. The film industry, specifically the horror and thriller genre, has seen many of society’s most horrendous truths; retelling of massacres, the reveal of master manipulators, and the sad stories of naive girls being coerced into death by serial killers. Movies such as Split, Get Out and the Taken series are modern movies that have pushed our imaginations to its furthest point. However, older movies that tell chilling stories include Seven, The Silence of the Lambs and The Bone Collector. By researching the opening title sequences for these films, I plan to find out what the best way is to portray my movies theme without giving to much away. This analysis will also include researching of font titles, color schemes, character types, etc. The opening sequence of a movie is incredibly important. It not only gives the viewer an idea of what they will be watching, but also is the film makers only real chance at getting people hooked.
