Hi everyone, this is my film research that we found interesting and analysed the good conventions withing their films. If you have ever watched them please feedback on what you thought of the films and if there are appropriate research for our AS media production
Faces in the crowd is a film that i watched over various times to see if i would be able to relate any conventions of their film into our production. Faces in the crowd comes under as a thriller genre and we got an inspiration for a serial killing e.g. the start exemplifies what we are doing in our production. However the film doesn't resemble througout the opening sequence but does cover a brief scene.
Tormented is another film that i researched during my research and i hade found various conventions and brief storyline within the film that i feel will work well in our film. The bullying/revenge part of the film will be introduced.
I Know What You Did Last Summer is another film we researched for ideas and inspiration to see what sort of conventions we could pick up on to include in our film and also to gain a greater knowledge of our chosen genre and what conventions work well in relation to a standare horror/thriller film opening.I also researched Drag me to Hell very briefly to understand the various concepts that they use to create the blonde girl as their victim and how they may relate to our film production. After watching the opening, i gained several ideas for our blonde victim and the conventions and characteristics needed in our film production.

These links are available for people to watch them and comment on what is positive and negative about getting inspiration from these films. If you feel that there are any other appropriate conventions that will be suitable and beneficial to our film then please feedback!!!
I didn't want to analyse 'Faces In The Crowd' because it was a trailer, but, I like the sense of impending doom for the character, also the time limit - making it tense and suspenseful.
ReplyDeleteI don't like 'Tormented' - shows it's successful at scaring students!
'I Still Know What You Did Last Summer' - really good opening titles - slow, prolongs tension, non-diagetic screams immediately display genre. Beginning is excellent - just a dream!
'Drag Me To Hell' I would say it was more of a mix between Action and Horror - not so interested in it - if wanting to do something similar would need a Hollywood budjet - but I do like the convention of non-diagetic choirs.
Thanks for your feedback!
ReplyDeleteDean, what Dawn has briefly done here is what you should be doing for your research. Identifying specific filming and editing techniques of the films and genre and reflecting on your ability or desire to attempt them.
