VIDEO EVALUATION

EVALUATION ABOUT PILIMANRY TASK:-

For our preliminary task, we had to make a video where he character had to open a door, go across a room and sit on a chair during these scenes the following should contain in the video: couple of dialogue, shot/reverse shot and 180 degree rule shots.

While filming this video, we used all the shot and scenes that were required. Our video was quite good because we filmed the video in quiet places, which meant that the dialogue was heard clearly. Not only that, while I was filming the scene I made sure that the iPad (which we had to the video with) wasn’t wobbly. To do this I had to make sure I put the camera on top of a steady object. By doing this our video was able to look professional and of a high standard. In addition, we also added more techniques such a panning, high angle, low angle shot to make our scene look smooth.

However, there was some problem with our video after we had finished shooting the video. Even though, we were told the video should be under 2 minutes our video was under 1minute. Which means our video was extremely short. Also, while I was filming the scenes, I filmed it portrait instead of doing it landscape. This meant that the video didn’t take up the whole scree making it hard for the audience to watch it.

Next time for my final piece, I have to make sure to put my camera landscape to make the video more professional. Also, I have to maintain the length of the video by making it not too long or not too short.

case study on horror genre

Case study on HORROR genre:-

CHARACTERS:-

• There is almost no horror film without a female victim, as they are portrayed as being vulnerable and in need of protection.
• This representation dates back to earlier horror films that were made in a sexist era, and the idea continued.
• This character helps to build up suspense in the audience, as her behaviour often puts them on edge.
• pretty much always a male character of strong, masculine build.
• Although he is the hero, there aren't many horror films where the good triumph over evil.In these cases, he tends to be the brave character that goes after the murderer, often never returning.
• These characters tend to show little emotion throughout the film, perhaps to stay strong and supportive for the other characters that cope less well.
• In more recent horror films, the hero has began to appear as a female. This makes the film more unpredictable, and challenges the older, more traditional conventions.
• Evil character:- can take many forms; serial killer, demonic possession,ghost,monster.
• And other type of killer such as monster or demon also plays on the fear of the unknown, and as there is never any solid proof that they could actually be all around at night.
• This character obviously has the biggest impact on the audience and strikes fear into them. They are what the suspension thought the film and all other codes  and conventions have been building up to.

NARRATIVES:-

• Narrative conventions are important for defining a genre.
• When we think of horror narratives, we are really considering the devices that are used to communicate a story to you.
• Horror genre most important characteristics are the modes of affect that horror films intend to create in their audiences.It is these emotional and physiological responses that remain constant while other characteristics and generic conventions evolve. we need to consider how the technical codes of cinema are manipulated in order to bring about these responses.
• The technical and formal features of cinema include editing, montage and pacing, camera work, framing and other aspects of cinematography and mise-en-scene such as lighting, sound and costuming, together with plot, dialogue, narrative and audience point of view, narrative structure and representation of characters. These cinematic codes have been developed and refined by horror film makers in order to order to depict horrific material visually and aurally.
• These aesthetic features that are frequently used by horror film-makers to create string emotions such as shock, fear and revulsion commonly include point of view camera shots and framing, dark or chiaroscuro lighting, jump cuts and variations in pacing, visual spectacles that employ make-up, prosthetic, animatronic, digital and other special effects, and discordant or otherwise unsettling musical cues and sound effects.
