The 4 Technical Area's Of a Psychological Thriller!

Camera Work
There are many close ups in a Psychological Thriller, this shows the urgency and the panic in someones face, sometimes you can even see people who are sweating this shows again they are nervous. There are also low angles to show power and usually low angles if the person is an Antagonist and usually a high angle if the person is a Protagonist.  There are also long shots to show everything that happens on screen so the audience catch everything that happens. It also gives a good veiw of the characters.

Mise-en-sceneThe Locations for thriller movies can be various of places depending on the story line, for instance a thriller on children could be set near a school or a park, some places are set in homes, many are set in the city as police are usually involved. There is always a quiet hidden place where the Antagonist lives, however in the 'lovely bones' this challenges the stereotype as the antagonist lives next door to his victim, and is just a normal man, giving off no vibe.
Costume in the 'lovely bones' the man in that film is dressed as a normal man, so nobody was sucpicious that he was infact a peadophile, his costume was just everday wear, he didnt make it noticable he was a suspect of 'sexual abuse', this was becuase his body language wasnt anxious to everybody else he was just an average man. In one of the scenes there is police who come around to this mans house to just ask questions, and he hides the young girls necklace (the one who he raped and killed) in a dolls house, this is props.

Editing

There will be lots of short cuts and quick transitions to each character especially in tense moments there will be 2 shots and short shot durations to each persons face to show there facial expression. There also many be Jump cuts to make some of the scenes faster for instant in 'lovely bones' there a jump cut when the man is taking the girls body to the river.
