Research on thriller and horror movies
This whole week we were working on brainstorming ideas and genres for our portfolio project in class and within my group. (I still haven't decided if I want to work alone or in a group) We had thought of the 2 genres thriller and horror. I was interested in these 2 because those are my favorite types of movies.
Horror movies are meant to give fear and scare the viewers. They cause a lot of reaction to the scares when people view them as well. "Depending on the intended reaction, some techniques include a classic jump scare, mounting suspense, and over-extended scenes to make audiences squirm in their seats a little longer" according to Los Angeles Film School.

There are many different kinds of horror movies like paranormal, psychological, demonic, and many more.
Thriller movies are meant to provoke suspense and anxiety, and also eagerness and excitement. The plot tends to change a couple times to get the viewer that anxious reaction and there tends to be many things that "almost" happen but then they don't. There many subgenres in thriller like legal thriller, spy thriller, romantic thriller, and many more. "Suspense is maybe the most crucial characteristic of the thriller genre." according to Hellerman, J. (2023, December 6). Defining the thriller genre in movies and TV.
