Camera Shots - Scream
One of the camera shots that was used in Scream was "Close Up". The "close up"shows a fairly small part of the scene and emphasises on something, such as characters face and neck in detail that it fills the screen, the evidence for this was when the camera done a close up of the dad as the little girl was getting attacked. This was shown to show the emotion in the face of the dad, this relates because it shows how the dad is feeling after he finds out his daughter is missing. He is distraught and shocked.
Another camera shot that was used in Scream was a 'Mid Shot'. The "Mid shot" is when the camera frames the actor from the waist up, this was when the women that was getting attacked and was holding the phone and the knife this was used to make the audience understand what she is going through and it was also shown to see the girls body language. It was conventional because she is scared of the man and it shows that the woman is weak in this thriller film.
This scene informs the audience of the thriller genre because that scene uses suspense, tension and excitement as its main elements. This scene heavily stimulates the viewer's moods giving them a high level of anticipation. It leaves the audience on the edge of there seats because they want to know what was going to happen next in the scene.
You have identified the key terminology word well and you have also described the examples well too. However, you need to expand on the points that you are making on conventions and you need to discuss how this scene informs the audience of the thriller genre. This can be achieved by writing in the PEER format
