Evaluation: Question 1.2


Conventions of Titles from The horror Genre 


Within my film opening I challenged and complied with many of the conventions of a Horror genre using my titles. I deliberately challenged them in some cases so that it could create a particular effect, likewise i did make some errors which meant it didn't totally conform to the norms.

Evaluation: Question 1

Conventions of a horror movies- Qestion 1

Within my film opening i used a variety of shots that would typically be used in a real media product.






when the techer dissaperars behind the corner, i used canted angle to foreshadow that something bad has will happent to this character by conveying that all is not normal as he camer a tilted - this also created inigma s the audience is left wondering what happens to this character and where she went 
I used a long shot here to show how far how far away the kids are from safety. this distance also creates a disretted feeling that the children are alone and vulnerable 

the point of view shot that you are left with at the end of the filmopening is the point of view from one of the drowning children, where the main character swims towards them to try and save them. 

i slightly challenged the convention of an extreame close up here as i did not show a close up of the protagonis's face by just showed close up of the floating body parts of the childrens body parts so that the focus is on them and the infered accident 

the tracking shot that i used were both above and under water. the first tracking shot was of the main character walking through the windy changing room, this is where it all slows down as you are shown that the children have all drowned. the second tracking shot was of the underwater, of the kids. i swam through the legs of the children , weaving myself round the body.
