In the introductory lesson to making a thriller sequence we looked at opening to films that build suspense and the definition of suspense.
Suspense is an emotional build up to something that someone is unaware of, it is an apprehension about what is going to happen, an exciting anticipation of an approaching climax.
In ‘No Country For Old Men’ suspense was built by the open atmosphere the loud voice over and the lone police officer with a dangerous criminal. Suspense is built because the officer and audience are unaware of what could happen with the officer and criminal.
In ‘Seven’ suspense was built by the images that appeared on screen, photos of blood and other gory stuff. This is a tense moment because viewers don’t know if something else will appear that will let the viewers know what the films about.
‘Panic Room’ builds suspense because the opening shot is daylight and dramatic music with the actor’s names appearing on screen. The viewers don’t know what else will appear on screen.
