Mason Dilnott responded to a questionnaire about what to include in a short thriller film. He indicated that tension, sound effects, and dramatic music are things he expects to see. Dutch tilts and close ups are camera techniques he associates with the genre. He said he would watch a film about a bike messenger encountering a home invasion as it puts an ordinary person in a dangerous situation and allows viewers to understand how they may act. Mason noted that whether action or dialogue is more important depends on the type of movie, and that if one aspect was prioritized it would need to be executed really well.

What is one thing you expect to see in a short thriller film?
Tension, sound effects and dramatic music.
Are there any camera techniques you associate with thriller
movies? Dutch tilt and close ups.
Would you watch a film about a bike messenger
encountering a home invasion? Explain why/why not? I would, as it put what could be an ordinary person into a potentially dangerous situation, this can allow the viewer to understand how they may act in this situation.
Do you agree that action is more important than dialogue in
a movie? It depends what kind of movie you’re making, I don’t believe that one is more important than the other, but if you were to do one, it would have to be really good
