How to film a thriller

How to film a thriller 
In this example of a thriller, we can see good uses of camera shots and sounds to make a thriller out of nothing. The very first scene is of a wide shot of the main character walking.
This makes the actor look small and insignificant to the rest of the shot.






The second shot is a tracking shot, of close up distance, we can see a chest upwards shot of the actor.









A medium shot follows this, we the actor walking down the path way











The next scene is a POV shot of the actor walking into the cave. this builds up tension, makes the viewer feel like they're entering the building themselves

When the actor reaches the inside of the fort, we start hearing sinister non diegetic music playing. This increases the intensity of the scene and has the viewers on the edge of their seat.

At this point, we can see a POV shot of something unhuman, it is low and moving fast so we know that it is a danger to the actor, along with the intensifying music. 

When we have a close up of the actors face, we can tell that he has spotted the danger also, and is surprised. This is effective as the viewers will be having a similar facial expression.






The final shot we have is of another actors eye, this is an extreme close up. This is intimidating towards the viewer because we have no idea what is going to happen next, whilst the eye will have more understanding of what is happening.
