In order to further broaden my knowledge on the art of storytelling and how film makers marry a story with film technique; I have studied the book Cinematic Story telling by Jennifer Van Sijll. The book gives me information on the 100 most powerful film conventions that every filmmaker should know.
She gives a list of techniques that filmmakers use in order to give meaning to their films, for example 'Smash cuts'. She gives detailed examples and the effect each of these film elements give to a film and how to use them effectively.
Smash Cuts:
Smash Cuts are very effective at jarring the audience and disorienting them and surprising them with new information or character on-screen. This could be utilized very effectively in order to jump-scare an audience
