Evaluation 2

In this scene we decided to show some credits. these credits showed each of the characters names. I believe that this worked successfully as the audience can easily tell what each person is called as their name pops up on the screen whenever there in the scene and there credit is bold and clear making it easy for the audience to read and understand. We also decided to put the credits on the scenes when there wasnt much action and that it was slower paced. in they were shown in a fast pace scene then the audience may not se it as there eyes are glued on watching the main part of the scene.

In this scene we decided to show the killer creeping up behind the victim with the murder weapon in their hand. In a few scenes before we hear a knock at the door and so this is the reason why the victim opens it but as she does so the killer moves up behind her. This may leave the audience a bit confused as a few scenes before they saw the killer in the building scrapping the same murder weapon along the table and so how were they able to knock on the door while being in the house. This means that  they may be not sure how the killer got their or that there is someone else helping the killer.

In  this scene we see the killer dragging one of his victims along the floor. A few scenes before this we saw the killer following the killer along a road path and within the woods and so the audience knew that this victim was going to be killed sooner or later. We decided to use a high angle shot for this scene as it shows that the victim in under control from the killer. By seeing this scene though, no one knows if the victim has been killed or just been knocked unconscious but we can suggest that he is dead as a few scenes after we see the killer killing again.

In this scene we see one of the victims sitting down in their home. we also see the credit pop up of their name. We decided to use a high angle in this scene as it is trying to show the killer looking through the window act the victim, and so now the victim becomes weak and is under the killer control. we also decided to have the victim dressed up in their normal clothes to show the audience that they are just living their normal day to day life and so they are unclear on what is about to happen.

In this scene we see a hand scrap down the window of the door. This would suggest that someone has been injured and scraps the door trying to show that they are trying to escape. This gives the audience the idea that the victim has been killed again and that the killer is still on a killing spree. We had many ideas for this scene as we thought of having blood on the victims hand but it didn't fit well as their has been no blood throughout the rest of the trailer and so it would look odd. By the audience seeing this scene they can have mixed ideas being that one or both of them have been injured or that one person has died. They will feel sorry for the victim if they believe that she has died as they saw through out the trailer that she was unaware of what is about to happen and that she done nothing wrong to deserve to die.

Evaluation

We decided to use the title scene and the end of the film as it will stay in the audiences minds if they see it last. If they saw it in the first scene and then watched the rest of the trailer then they may forget what the trailer was called. We also put all of the credits underneath the title so that if some the audience want to see who is in the film then they can rememvber there name when they see it at the end.

This scene shows an establishing shot of the main location of the trailer even though we had a few scenes with characters walking/running through the woods or down the pavement. This gives the audience the idea that the main killing will take place here. We also decided to use this scene when the surrounding light became darker as it conforms to the typical stereotypes that murder normally take place in the dark so that no one can clearly see the killer.

This scene shows a knife being scrapped along a table with in the main house. Before this scene we see the victim walk past the table towards the telephone so this gives the audience the idea that the killer is following the victim. By scrapping it along the table shows that the killer is ready to kill and that he creates tension within the audience. We had the close up of the murder weapon the give a clear idea to the audience that this weapon is going to be used soon and that it may be the main part of the trailer.

This scene shows another victim running through the woods. This gives the audience the idea that the killer changes the ways in which he kills as we have already seen him walking behind a victim and now in this scene it suggests that he is running. By having this scene in the woods conforms the typical stereotypes of a horror trailer as normally when you see anyone in the woods, they are normally on their own trying to find their friends or trying to run away from a killer  and this is the same case in this scene.

Evaluation of our Film

How are social groups represented in your production?

In the very first scenes, we see different shots including a mid shot, close up and over the shoulder shot. This shows that we decided to use lots of different shots to try and make the trailer more dramatic. We then see an establishing shot of a house with the next seeing one of the characters inside. This gives the audience the idea that most of the scenes they will see will be located within this building and that it will be mainly based around that 1 character.

After this we see a lot of different things happening with in film, seeing 1 character being followed by the killer and eventually being killed as well as the other character in the house answering the phone. The mise en scene of the victim with the house shows that she is living her daily life having no suspicion that a killer is out to kill her Though out the whole trailer there is a constant suspense music which keeps the audience on edge. There are pauses within the music at important scenes where sound is a key factor.ore worried about the mysterious phone call with no one speaking on the other end.

Instantly after this scene we see a knife scraping along the table, which makes the audience understand why the killer phoned, so that he could distract the killer and get in to the house unnoticed. By also dragging the knife along the table, it suggests that he is ready to kill.

After this scene we then see the victim open the front door as she hear a knocking sound. As she opens the door we see the killer come out from the background and walk up behind her. This shows the audience that either the killer is very clever or that there may be another person helping him as, how can he open the door while being in the room at the same time. For a few seconds this will makes the audience slightly confused but as soon as he creeps up behind the victim, their modes change to being worried and anxious for the victim's safety.

Straight after the door closes we see a hand scrape down the front of the door. This gives the suspicion that the victim has been struck by the killer with the knife we saw earlier on in the trailer and that she has probably died  or been badly injured in the incident.

Production Update

Production update

On Wednesday 7th January we travelled to Fetcham to continue the production of our film, "The Disturbed", and we used a variety of camera angles and locations to add a dynamic angle to our film. Each individual had a different role; Connor's role was to help film and also star in the film, Rachel was the main protagonist and also played a directing role in the film too by offering ideas, Ryan was the antagonist and I was also a Director.

On the day we filmed most of our trailer and included many aspects from the horror genre, including props, such as knives, suspense-packed scenes and the idea of a vulnerable woman home alone. We had very low lighting to give it that horror aspect. The mise-en-scene of the antagonist was a long black coat that covered the entire body of the murderer as if he was a shadow-we chose this colour as black is the typical colour of an antagonist but also because the colour black connotes evil and darkness. He then had a knife in his hand which was his murder weapon for the film but throughout the film other props/weapons would have been used.

This image is the title of our film and the production credits. It is a screenshot from our trailer as it appears at the end. The credits shows the audience what each member of the group did-and shows that the work was shared between them. We are very proud of this as it shows that all of our teamwork and hard-work has all eventually paid off

Film Magazine

Film magazine (The Disturbed)





This is our film magazine. It follows the typical features of a horror magazine and uses the typical format of a black background with red coloured text. The images each represent different films and features in the magazines-with two of the pictures being created by ourselves (the middle picture and the top right picture). The image in the middle was taken in the woods and then edited in Photoshop to create a more sinister look. The whole poster was edited in Photoshop with the help of tutorials and teamwork.
