How to create tension within a scene...HT

This website gives a good insight into how we can shoot a scene with creating the most suspense as our main focus. This website gives a step by step guide to help organise a group into filming a supsense filled scene and also what to do and what NOT to do, when wanting to create a film full of suspense and tension. One thing which this website makes very clear we will be doing when we film and edit our teaser trailer is NOT to show the 'scary thing'. This will help to make tension rise dramatically. Another thing to take into account in the editing stages of things is to try and portray all sights, music and feelings through sound effects.

This website also reflects the view and thought our group had which was to make the 'scary thing' visisble but not easy to see, this will leave the audience guessing who or what is around involving them in the story. An example of this can be seen in the strangers when the girl is in the kitchen and you can see in the background the stranger walk in building supsens of what he might do next.



Another thing which makes strangers such a tension filled piece is the use of masks this leaves the audience having to guess who the 'strangers' are, involving them in the piece and therefore capturing and keeping their attention.
