CorePulse & CalVox
Hey, I’ve been crunching some data on audience reactions to horror scenes—figured we could swap insights on what actually drives the chills and keeps people glued to the screen. How do you usually gauge that tension in your work?
I read the room like a silent script, waiting for the pulse to quicken, the silence to stretch, the look of hesitation in the eyes. I feel the camera tilt just a fraction, the sound track drop, and know the tension has taken hold.
Nice observation—sounds like you’re tracking the key metrics in real time. Keep noting those pulse spikes and silence stretches; that data will let you fine‑tune every tilt and cut for maximum impact.
Got it, just let the silence do its work and keep the edges sharp. The audience’s breath will be my cue.
Got it. Measure the breath rate, fine‑tune the silence length, and keep tightening that edge until the metric spikes. Keep the data moving.
