Here is a close up shot from thriller film 'Se7en'. In this shot, the focus is clearly on the emotions of the character. There is a plain, out of focus background so as not to distract from the facial expressions of the character. This kind of shot is often used like this in thrillers to show the sorrow of characters as it is simple and doesn't have too much going on. Here, we have the iconic close up from the shower scene in horror thriller film 'Pyscho'. The close up not only emphasizes the sheer terror on the woman's face, but it also adds suspense as we are not able to see what she is scared of. This adds suspense because as an audience we are only seeing the reaction and not what caused the reaction. Close ups are often used this way in thrillers, especially horror and psychological thrillers, as it adds a lot of suspense

This puts your blog into context and tells the examiner why you have done this piece of research.
