Psychological techniques in films that cause fear and affect the psyche of people.

Abstract

The purpose of this dissertation is to describe how film techniques make viewers feel different emotions while watching a movie. In the paper, various techniques in films and series were analysed. Based on psychology and neurobiology, various experiments were conducted, which are described in the thesis. In addition, the cinematic techniques in films to keep attention were also analysed. Moreover, just as importantly, how light, colour and camera positioning changes the picture on the screen from the genre of comedy to horror. As a result, you can see that movies affect each person very differently. Someone looks at a drop of blood and lies unconscious, and for someone the scariest seems to be a trifle. In addition to the movies, there was a real kind of fear, when not by hearsay, and not through the screen one watches the most terrible thing in this world - war and genocide of the people, who were called “little sister” and swore to protect, but in the end were meanly betrayed. No horror movie will scare people who have lived through this. To summarize, movies and media have a profound affect on human action and behaviour, but in a different way for everyone. Most importantly, the fact of how perception affects the viewer's worldview and thinking is scrutinized.
