What is a body language and facial
expressions and why is it an important convention in thriller films?
A body language shows the attitudes and feelings,
which they cannot express with the speeches the character say, as it does not
work. A facial expression is one or more motions, which words cannot say. It is
an important convention because for the audience to feel the what they are and
if its true or not they need to see it from the way they look, for it to
capture the audiences attention thinking it is the truth.
Stereotypical victim and protagonists body
language and facial expressions-
In this image we a stereotypical victim, which
the only thing he wants it to have a better life as he is struggling. He’s a
brave guy which the body language suggests, but is not happy for what he is
doing as this is suggested in the facial expressions he seems scared as that is
what he is making the audience feel.
Stereotypical antagonists, ghost or evil
character body language and facial expressions-
As in
this image we see the careless expression as this is suggested in the facial
expressions. As it also suggests that he don’t really mind getting shot by the
victim which cannot do it he seems to have a sarcasm facial expression which
has also been given in the body language.
Conclusion:
Now I know how to use a body language and
facial expression I would be able to use it for opening thriller scene for As
Media. As I also now know that the feelings doesn’t only come out of the words
but the body language and the facial expression so I would be able to use a
stereotypical victim and a stereotypical antagonists, which the antagonists
will be having a body language and facial expression of how antagonists only
cares about him/her self and that everything else is worthless because that’s
how a lot of antagonists are like they wouldn’t care less. As for a
stereotypical I would say that I would but them in to a position that they are
very brave maybe even braver than they think they are.
