Fear in film
This lesson starts out by talking about scary movies and asks for your thoughts on these types of movies. Personally, I love scary movies, but I prefer psychological thrillers. I enjoy these movies because they make me think and usually build amazing suspense. Some of the techniques that these movies employ to build suspense are:
-soundtrack
-foreshadowing
-flashback
-imagery
-special effects
-metonymy
-irony
-MacGuffin
Take a look at the descriptions of these techniques on slide 3 of your lesson.
