Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Building up suspense without boring the audience is not easy. Whatever is a director to do? Jump scares to the rescue! Everyone knows what a jump scare is. It's the overused horror technique of the Jump Scare -- having a sudden image pop up on screen with an equally sudden, loud noise, usually a loud brass horn, or a woman's scream, emphasizing it. This is considered a cheap shot as far as scares go, because really, the image could be anything and it will still give viewers a rush. But hey, it is guaranteed to work and it's easy, which means this gets used to death and beyond. In a way, jump scares are a close relative of Gorn, because both tend to be used as substitutes for actual suspense. |
