Thriller films usually consist of either quick and rapid
cuts or longer and slower ones. This is useful because it automatically sets a
pace for the film and both editing techniques create suspense in a contrasting way.
The conventions are;
Music: (Vital)
Sets the mood. Establishes genre.
Impact on “SE7EN.”
*Atmospheric, helps build tension, menacing, oppressive
and heavy weighted (Contrasts from “The shining.”)
Special FX/Transitions:
(Optional but effective.) makes end result more exciting.
*Special effect in the text gave a chilly
feeling to the film, the words had a “Shaky” effect gives us the idea of instability
in the film regarding the plot/characters. Black text gives the feeling of
darkness and morbidity. Red: Blood, and fire, indicating a passion for murder
(Sub-genre could be horror.) and white text on a black background connotes a
story of terror with a potential happy ending.
