 Thriller  Conventions: 

 

-How to create suspense through camera movement-

Subtle dolly (0.25-0.42)
- characters moving forward, camera moving slowly backwards

Push on nothing (1.46-2.13)
- filming characters face while walking, then their pov
- if using this, we would not have their faces in it

Traces and clues (3.21-3.41)
- following a character looking for something
- could follow chef looking for an ingredient (specifically the pills)

Visual dangers (4.07-4.48)
- audience sees danger but character doesnt
- audience will see the danger of the poison but paige and ryder will not
