And Of Course, More Research!

      Good afternoon my people! I continued with my research earlier today and found out that suspense and mystery are quite different. Mystery is seen to be more of an “intellectual process”, while suspense simply focuses on the “emotional process” within their audience. Because I also want to include plot twists throughout the film, the goal is to have the audience constantly trying to figure out the end result, therefore keeping them interested and focused on the film. Mystery works sort of like a puzzle, as the film progresses, having new information constantly followed up by more information allows the audience to begin to solve this puzzle out in order to see the complete picture. This process is strictly based on the process of thinking and problem-solving, meaning no emotional feelings must be or should be included.

      Don’t worry guys, this doesn’t mean I won’t be including thriller and suspense anymore, rather it means I will be including a bit of all three genres. I still want the viewer to feel what the characters are going through and create an intimate connection along the way. Although it will be a fictional movie, I want the audience to be able to relate to some of these problems, relations, and feelings that the characters will experience and express. The goal is to have the audience feel like they are literally part of this whole adventure they are seeing. This also includes having these viewers even making decisions for the characters as if their thought were to change the outcome as well as having the audience feel very anxious and worried when the characters make the wrong choice but continue to support the characters.

      In order to reach such intimacy, I shall focus on the physical as well as moral points within this film. So what does this mean? This means that for the physical points I must stay focused on the type of shots and angles I use throughout the recording in order to give the audience the “feel” that they are in the story as well. Along with this, sound techniques are important stimulates because it allows the sensory receptors to get the viewer fully engaged in the movie. On the other hand, the moral point is what creates this hearty level of emotion through the moral values along with story’s conflicts as the film progresses. This technique is also known as “The Moral Premise”. This can be successfully accomplished by showing the physical action along with the conflicts as it all starts to turn into psychological decisions that the character must face with their own point of view within their own moral values.

      Now, before I end this post, drum roll please…. I choose my character names! The guy shall be named Daniel and the girl’s name shall be Callie. Till next time!
