Slow mo

We discussed that our thriller is supposed to be very elegant and graceful. The camera must emphasis this beauty so we decided to incorporate slow motion, this adds to the natural phenomena of the clip. Slow motion can add to the tension and suspense of a clip for instance, slow motion is used in a suicide scene in 'The Deserter', in which a man jumping into a river seems sucked down by the slowly splashing waves, so we wanted to include slow motion to make the scene appear to have a more important meaning, making it seem more thriller-like.
Here is an example of where slow motion is used:


I really like how much detail can be obtained by slow motion, it adds so much more purpose to each second of the shot and thus makes the clip much more interesting.
