Thriller mood board

Thriller mood board 1)

Prey for the devil horror/thriller

mise-en-scene:

lighting:

has a variety of different lighting modes however the most occurring thriller scenes were in the dark, with a gloomy setting of having to question in your head on what's going to happen next because of the fear you will feel. Therefore, majority of the sincere scenes are in the dark or coming out from the shadows. although, there are also lit up scenes where they are in the prisoned rooms trying to confront demonic possession.

location:

this was set at a catholic church school for exorcism as the film is about a nun who tries to train into doing exorcists as of her past experience and how her mum dies. they also visit Dante's house as Anne tries to help his pregnant sister who is possessed.

era:

past as there aren't cases of possession anymore and based off of past stories and beliefs that were brought down.

performance: 

nuns are forbidden to perform exorcism, Although Anne goes out of her way to help a little girl that she beliefs is possessed by the same devil her mum was possessed with. Father Quinn had recognised her talents and added her to classes however she crossed all lines and barriers. She experiences disturbing situations such as getting harassed by an elderly man whist being trapped in his room. They go through old files of possessed patients and figure out what they have all needed in order to survive but was somewhat to late as they only saved 1 person at the end.

props:

majority of the props are the bibles and crosses; this is the only thing alongside prayers that can actually help them as well as holy water. all of them have appropriate clothing's.

camera with angles and shots:

there are several scenes with close up shots such as when the young little was swallowing her own hair as it was getting sucked up into her throat with no control. 

there are over the shoulder shots such as when Anne was looking over Natalie. 

the wide shot is within a low angle where Natalie the young possessed girl is crawling to the ceiling as the camera gets lower and lower till she jumps from a tall angle.

the camera moves where often too fast to be able to analyse what's on the screen which is what makes it a thriller and horror film, the fact there is too much to process puts you on edge because everything is happening very fast.

editing:

the more intense the shot the faster the time slot is between shots which is what gives the thriller vibe as the faster the music the more intense and suspense it is also leading up to.

there are the lights flashing to create an unexplainable visceral pleasure amongst the audience within all the creepy music that sets the atmosphere and twisted characters doing dehumanising things really give the sense of suspense which creates the thriller of being on the edge.

the transitions from scene to scene or shot to shot is unspeakable. a sudden jump or movement that goes into a dark shot that then turns into a zoom out with intense music just goes to show how camera angles and shot goes a long way if done and used correctly.

sound:

the music goes from a slow paste to a urgent impulsive upbeat sound that makes your heart feel like it is pumping faster which really sets the tone of you should be scared or on corner of your seat because it's about to start. non-diegetic sound is what will create all scenes to the build up with the tension it has. 

dialogue: it is very serious which can be told from the tone of voice and the fact that it may be the most simple few words that impact and make the hairs on your arm to stand up the most and in this case is  "your mother has a pretty voice"(she's dead) or "she said the voice didn't really want her, it wanted me"

the narrator of the trailer is mainly Anne and whoever plays inside the film that plays an important part which emphasises the important scenes as it is seen shown and played as the little parts of the film.
