Today I watched multiple horror, jump scare, thriller kind of films. I did this because seeing other ideas from professionals will hopefully give me new ideas or ideas that I can alter to make it more natural. Films such as the Conjuring and the Shining were good examples of creative ideas that keep viewers waiting and then appear at the most unexpected time. They delay the person/monster being shown for a little while because it makes people panic for longer, then they make the audience feel as if nothing is coming and that's when the monster/person enters the frame with a scream or music that will allow the figure to appear even scarier.

Film composition

In today's lesson we looked at film composition within Wes Anderson films such as Fantastic Mr. Fox and The Grand Budapest Hotel. Having the main point of focus in the middle of the screen draws all of the audiences attention towards it.


Wes Anderson likes to do it a little bit different to everyone else because most directors have the main point of the shot in one of the corners using the rule of thirds. But Anderson prefers to have the main point of the shot in the middle of the shot.
