This is our short film that we made we edited this Friday 16th. we spent all day disscusing what parts should go where and researching music to go with the film and also sound effects. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdqA_iWYJ-I on Monday we got in to our groups. We had to think of a movie we could do and we put some ideas down and made a mind map of what we could do. we decided on a man killing a girl in her home and cooking her on an Aga. we made mind maps and researched what props we could use in the film. we ordered an arm but it didn't come on time. our other props were fake blood and bin liners and a sheet for the bed to put the fake blood on to show that she is murdered. we also made a story board of what was going to happen throughout the film. We looked at short horror films and discussed what we liked about them and what was different. To find out what our short horror film could look like.
Genre is useful for audiences as it enables them to differentiate between the styles and types of narrative, allowing them to decide on what they enjoy. Producers benefit from genre as they can see what is most successful at the current time, and, therefore, make more of the same to capitalise on profit. Due to the ongoing existence and progression of genre, certain changes occur in film, but yet they remain reflective of the genre they are in. This observation is supported by Steven Neale's description, that genre operates as a “repetition of difference”. Subtle differences may appear on screen, but the underlying repertoire of elements are exclusively the same.
Horror films are designed to: Frighten & panic, Cause dread &alarm, Evoke our hidden worst fears, Captivate & entertain us in a liberating experience, Often conclude in a terrifying shocking finale Depending on the audience watching, horror can create different types of fear Vulnerability and Terror of the unknown, Nightmares, Alienation and Revulsions Settings: Small communities or isolated places.Anything that connote isolation or being alone. Often, sometimes places with ‘dark’ history, like abandoned houses, hotels and insane asylums. · Urban environments · Dark streets · Narrow alleyways *Locations for any good horror genre film could be: · Abandoned houses · Barnes and farms · Cities · Cabins · Creepy hotels · Graveyards · Pirate ships · Basements Hunting places For my film we used an old house in the middle off nowhere to make it horror related. The camera angles connote the fear in the movie by doing many natural lighting shots. The director will use many close angles, low and high angle shots and point of view shots. This makes you feel part of the movie and the suspense is anxiously waiting. This is normally used to keep the audience members engaged with the storyline. Hand held shots are difficult for the audience to figure out what is going on. camera work is very expensive and not natural; high and low an angle connotes fear. *Low-key lighting can help to create dark shadows and unfamiliar shapes in the blackness. Lighting can be motivated in the world of film (e.g. bonfires, fireplaces & torches) *Props help us to further identify horror genre. Specific props can be identified with a certain villain or character (e.g. chainsaws, machetes, knifes, firearms, costumes) Narrative Structure: *Classic narrative structure largely made applicable to the horror genre but it can either be left for closure or maybe perhaps leave room for a sequel and thus enable a franchise (e.g. Friday the 13th, Halloween & nightmare of Elm Street) *There’s always a ‘hero’ or protagonist, a man or a ‘final girl’ of the film, keeping with the normal conventions of the genre. Usually the hero must embark on a mission or quest to kill or solve problems in order to save themselves or others around them *Some narratives are very mechanical and this is practically present in sub-genres, most noticeably ‘slasher’ films. After some event that turns the killer insane or by some childhood past or even psychotic medical issues, the villain returns to his home-town and always preys on teenagers. These teenagers represent ‘immoral’ and are quite stupid, usually they are the ones who start the horror in the first place or maybe they just get killed quickly and there is always/sometimes a survivor, most likely a female character. Character Types: · The main protagonist, often the ‘victim/hero’ of the movie. · The villain, often a monster, mutated freak, alien or serial killer – tend to have a trademark characteristic as to how they kill (e.g. weapons and who they kill) · The stupid/immoral teenagers that always get killed · Creepy children · Police officers (either good or bad) · Many others: Ghosts, zombies, demons, psychopath, stalker, weirdo, werewolf, cheerleader etc… Some directors use the innocence of children to be the villain of the movie. Using a small child who does scary supernatural activities makes the storyline more freaky and disturbing for the viewers. Audience members are totally surprised when the child who may look like the victim turns out to be the villain. As we associate children with happiness, playful and innocent the thought of a child doing adult like behaviour becomes creepy. Music and sound effects play a big part in making a movie a success. Special Effects Make-up Prosthetic makeup (also called FX prosthesis) is the process of using prosthetic sculpting, moulding & casting techniques to create advanced cosmetic effects. In my film i was the director of photography so this is my research of what they do in films , One profession, of particular interest, is that of Director of Photography (DP). The great film director Cecil B. De Mille wrote: "The Director of Photography is the custodian of the heart of film making.. as the writers are of its soul.. his tool is a box with a glass window, lifeless until he breathes into it his creative spirit and injects into its steel veins, the plasma of his imagination....the product of his camera, and therefore of his magic,means many things to many persons - fulfillment of an ambition...realization of dreams." The Director of Photography (DP) is head of the production unit and is directly responsible to the film's Director. During the pre-production phase, the DP works with the Director on the visualization of scenes that involves issues related to framing,camera angle and movement, lighting, and the technical requirements to translate a script and storyboard into images on film. If the film has a large budget there may be a Lighting Director who works with both the DP and film's Director. Sometimes, it is the Director of Photography who will be directly responsible for lighting a scene and working with technicians on indoor and outside shoots. In this capacity the DP determines the look, feel, and mood of a scene through lighting. This may include the use of table lamps, candles, lighting fixtures as well as movie stage lighting. The Director of Photography often operates the camera as a cinematographer unless the budget is sufficient to hire a camera operator. Operating a camera requires composing the image,adjusting focus, exposure, use of filters, and when appropriate audio level settings if not done separately by a sound person. As a professional, a DP keeps informed of the latest research and development in the areas of film and video technology. Some directors are actively engaged in the innovative evolution of camera equipment and lenses and share their work through professional associations such as the American Society of Cinematographers. Some directors work exclusively with a Director of Photography who shares the same vision of filmmaking. The Director of Photography is the person who gives a movie a certain visual style throughout. It is this style that viewers often recall about the look or feel of a film. Filmmaking requires many talented and skill artists and technicians.The role of the Director of Photography is key to making visual the ideas of the director and screen writer. |
