Genre Filmmaking

A Visual Guide to Shots and Style for Genre Films

Danny Draven,

About this book

Beautifully illustrated with hundreds of 4-color images from the movies you love, this book is the last one you will need to understand the artistic and technical considerations of making a genre film. Author Danny Draven walks you through the aesthetic, narrative, and camera techniques necessary to understand the basic formula that genre adheres to, and then shows you how to create an original work within that context.

Draven will show you a technique or narrative structure from a popular movie, reveals the craftsmanship required to achieve it, then tells you how and when it should or shouldn't be used. Interviews from the Hollywood directors and cinematographers using these techniques are included, as well as a companion site with video examples of the techniques and concepts within the book.

Section One
The Horror Genre

Horror | an overwhelming and painful feeling caused by something frightfully shocking, terrifying, or revolting; a shuddering fear.

The Scary Dolly Zoom

What does it look like?

It’s an unsettling effect used to distort the visual perception of the image. The subject is meant to stay the same size in the frame as a continuous perspective distortion happens around it. The most recognizable shift is the background changes size and focus relative to the subject.

How’s it done?

It’s achieved in-camera by pulling away from a still subject while the lens zooms in, or vice-versa. You can use a dolly, Steadicam, or it can be handheld.
