Sinopse

Thriller Mechanics offers a unique exploration into the core elements that make thrillers captivating. It dissects pace, urgency, and escalation, revealing how these narrative techniques are used to build suspense in film and television. The book argues that these elements aren't just intuitive but are quantifiable techniques that can be systematically understood and applied. For instance, short scenes and rapid dialogue can accelerate pace, while ticking clocks amplify urgency. The book examines how successful thrillers, from Hitchcock classics to modern streaming series, utilize these mechanics. It goes beyond narrative structure to consider cinematography, music, and editing, demonstrating how these elements contribute to the overall sense of tension. Each chapter builds upon the previous one, starting with definitions and progressing to practical applications and case studies. By providing a systematic framework, Thriller Mechanics equips screenwriters, media analysts, and film enthusiasts with the tools to critically analyze and creatively enhance thriller narratives. This analytical approach offers a deeper understanding of genre conventions and audience expectations, especially in the evolving landscape of streaming thrillers.

Faulty Reasoning in Cause and...

William Rands

This book consists of the following two titles: 
- The Correlation-Causation Fallacy: The correlation-causation fallacy is a common error in reasoning where people mistakenly believe that because two events or variables are correlated, one must have caused the other. This fallacy is not only widespread but can have significant consequences in various aspects of life, including science, policy-making, and everyday decision-making. It stems from the human tendency to look for patterns and explanations, often leading us to draw conclusions from observed associations without carefully analyzing the underlying mechanisms at play. 
  
- The Gambler's Fallacy: The Gambler's Fallacy, also known as the Monte Carlo fallacy, is a common cognitive bias in which individuals believe that past events can influence future random outcomes. It is particularly evident in gambling scenarios, where players wrongly assume that a string of bad or good luck must be followed by a reversal. The core principle of the fallacy lies in the misinterpretation of probability. In reality, the odds of a specific event occurring remain constant, regardless of what happened in the past. This misunderstanding can lead to poor decision-making and increased risks.
