After reading this interview structure from the Today show, I learned that there are many different techniques to know when needing to bring out every emotion out of the viewer. There are many people that excel greatly in this but one of the experts in this field, Jeffrey Zacks, shared with the newscast on how easy it is to make a film so dramatic.
A rule of thumb that a lot of movie makers use is called the mirror rule. It is as simple as having a tight shot on someone who is smiling. Since it is a shot up close, the audience has nowhere else to look, but at the person smiling. When we see a person smiling we smile back. This is how dramatic movies makes us sad. We see someone frown, so we frown, which makes us sad. Other reasons why movies can be so sad is music and location choice. Having shots with music and locations that can be sad and depressing can really touch the audience, because they can relate to it. Emotions aren't the only thing filmmakers can get out of us. Reactions from an explosion, guns, or any loud bang can cause us to flinch. This process is called the success rule. The science behind it is when you come "face to face" with a stimuli, or something that cause you to react in a certain way, you will act in a way that will help you have a good outcome. The response or flinch happens because that was your reaction to past stimuli. This interview from the Today show was very helpful. I learned a lot with how to structure my shots and how to use the necessary tools to convey the right feel in my videos. Also I now know how the stimuli reacts to a certain shot and how it can make the whole theme show very well. Finally I learned that you need to put a great deal of effort in every shot because it will make the audience feel a certain type of way and draw the emotion that you need to work with. http://www.today.com/health/your-brain-movies-why-films-make-us-cry-flinch-cheer-1D80258284
