Planning cinematography.
Cinematography is used in thriller films to show all the different facial expressions that the characters have, the facial expressions are used to make the audience get a connection with the character. It is also used to show the variety of backgrounds that are used in the thriller films, which also allows the the audience to see clearly where the location of our thriller film is.
The first shot that we are using in our thriller film is a long shot. I am using this as we want to catch the girl having a good time with her friends and not having anything to worry about. I also are using a long shot because we want to get the background in the shot, the background will give the audience a feel for what is going to happen. This is conventional to a thriller film as we want to show the background that we are using (a forest that goes into a field) and we want to show the innocence of the girl which is also conventional to a thriller film. The target audience builds a relationship with the audience as they feel like the girl is having a good time and they will be thinking why is the man attacking the girl.
The second shot that we are using in our thriller film is the over the shoulder shot, i am using this as we want to show the masked attacker watching the girl walking home from school. It also keeps the mystery of identity as you will only see the attackers head in the shot. this is conventional to my thriller film as it builds up the suspense and also it builds a enigma within the heads of the audience, also the audience will think why is the masked man attacking an innocent girl. The target audience will build a relationship through the over the shoulder shot as they will think about the background of the attacker and victim and they will think about why is he stalking her in the first place.
The third shot that i am going to use in my thriller film is the close up, we are using this to show the emotion of the girl when she sees the attacker for the first time. It emphasise the emotion of the character is going through and it shows how the character is feeling being in that situation. The close up is conventional my thriller film as it allows the audience to understand how the victim is feeling and what she must be going through at that moment of time. The target audience build a relationship as they feel from the emotion on the victims face what she is going through and they feel sorry for her as she is an innocent victim.
The final shot i am going to use in my thriller film is a mid-shot as we want to show the emotion and body language of the victim and also a bit of the background. It shows the emotion of the girl but you cannot see it clearly as it and we also want to show some of her body language which we could not have if we were to use a close up. This is conventional to my thriller film as it will show the body language and facial expressions of the victims, it allows the audience to have a connection with the character but not clearly see how she is feeling. The target audience will build a relationship with the character with this shot as it shows the body language and the emotion of the character, and they feel sorry for what she is going through.

This post demonstrates a good understanding of the different camera shots that you would like to include within your thriller. You have also considered some of the codes and conventions well, but you need to discuss how your audience can build a relationship with your characters in more detail.
