2. Film 1Name: Shaun of the
dead
Sub-
genre:Zombie/Com
edy
Shaun of the dead was a very well edited and well put together
film as it used very good lighting for the situations that they
were in and where they were. Also mise-en-scene is displayed
well throughout the film as the costumes of the zombies are
very realistic along with the make up used on the actors
playing as the zombies. the use of both diegetic and non-
diegetic sound is also used throughout the film making it quite
comical in certain parts of the film and this fits in to make the
film and zombie/comedy film.
3. Film 2
Name:Insidious
Sub-genre:
Supernatural/Haunted
After watching insidious i noticed a wide variety of techniques used to create the
film. Firstly lighting was a key part of the film and was used to connote fear into
the characters in the film, for example when the characters were in the house at
night the lighting was played around with enormously to put fear in to the
family living there. Finally the use of make up was extremely effective making
all the supernatural and paranormal characters look extremely realistic, making
it a very effective film.
4. Film 3
Name:The women in black 2
the angel of death
Sub-genre:Ghost/Paranormal
The women in black 2 was a great sequel to the first women in black as it
continued the story and editing techniques as used in the first one and the lighting
was again controlled throughout. The sound used was a mixture of diegetic and
non-diegetic to put fear into the audience and make certain parts of the film seem
more realistic giving a impact on the viewers of the film. Mise-en-scene was also
well displayed throughout the film as the women in black was made to look dead
and displaced around the set. furthermore the costumes worn by the other actors
are made to make them look from the victorian era making it look like it happened
well over 100 years ago.
5. Film 4
Name:The Purge
Sub-genre:Killer
Once i watched The Purge i noticed a variety of camera shots
and lighting techniques. firstly there were a lot of high angle
shots to show everything going on in the scene and to help
you see the area more clearly, there is also a lot of point of
view shots to show the fear in the eyes of the characters as
they have no idea what is round the corner this makes the
film successful in the way it scares the audience. The lighting
techniques used gave the film a sense of realism due to power
cutting out make the house go into complete black out along
with lights going on and off really made the film more
interesting as you couldn't really predict what was going to
happen next.
6. Film 5
Name: Dead snow
Sub-genre:
Zombie/Romance
After watching dead snow i realised that there is a
lot of Mise-en-scene used along with editing to
connote the fear of the characters as everyone
around them is being slaughtered by the zombies.
Mise-en-scene is displayed extremely well
throughout as the zombies show this as of the use of
there costumes and make up is made to look
extremely realistic making it a really enjoyable but
scary film as it immerses the audience as they are
made to believe it is a true story. Also the editing is
done to a very high standard as cross cutting is
consistently used to capture both the look of fear in
the main characters faces along with the anger in
the zombies faces.
