You're Quinner
an opinion about jump scares
You're Quinner
I think jump scares are theoretically fine
You're Quinner
they can, if done well, even be great
You're Quinner
but here's my hard rule
You're Quinner
if a loud noise is going to scare me in a movie
You're Quinner
it should be a diegetic loud noise
You're Quinner
having something quiet happen but playing a huge orchestral sting over it is cheating
RobotApocalypse
i agree
RobotApocalypse
if you're gonna cat jumpscare me, have the cat knock over a stack of pots&pans
You're Quinner
Terrified had the best jump scare in anything i've ever seen
You're Quinner
like QTEs, they are oftne used lazily but can be performed well
