Costumes & props and special effects

The document summarizes the costumes, props, and special effects used in the opening title sequence of a horror film. The main character wears pajamas and a robe as a "safety blanket" due to losing her child. Props like cereal and a child's bowl on the table represent her continuing daily routine despite the absence. A man in black carrying a mysterious box wrapped in blue paper could symbolize a gift related to the lost baby boy. A memory of the mother and son playing is filtered with a "dream" effect to seem distant and hazy, emphasizing emotions of loss. Using the same shirt in the flashback could better connect it to clues shown earlier.

The Haribo star mix advert portrayed an office setting using dull colors like greys, whites, and blacks to imply that adult life is boring. The actors took on childlike voices while in the office to show the sweets bring out people's inner child. This suggests the sweets can be enjoyed by people of any age. Although not related to thrillers, analyzing this clip gave the author ideas for using child actors to appeal to viewers' parental sides and conveying hidden messages subtly.We need to talk to kevin

It shows the little girl's facial expression closely, almost showing the viewers her confusion and mysteriousness. An unusual figure stands next to the child, which could be seen as taking advantage or protecting the child. Moths surround this hidden creature, making it seem unnatural.

It describes conducting audience research to determine the target demographic of 12-17 year olds and the genres of horror, love, humor, and death they wanted. Based on this, the students chose to film at an isolated bungalow location to fit horror conventions. They considered elements of mise-en-scene like lighting, costumes, and character positioning to convey meanings and drive the plot. Specifically, they used bright lighting for happy scenes between the main characters and darker lighting when the doll was present to show its mysterious nature.Poster review: displaced

This document discusses two potential film locations. The first location is rejected because it only has a girl's bedroom when a boy's room is needed to match the missing child in the film. The second location is selected as it has a boy's bedroom and meets the criteria of being quiet with a clear pavement, allowing filming of a character carrying a box and running away without disturbances.Filming schedule

Todorov's narrative theory proposes that stories follow 5 stages: a initial state of equilibrium, a disruption to that order, recognizing the disruption, attempting to repair the damage, and achieving a new state of equilibrium. This common narrative structure of an introduction, conflict, and resolution is seen throughout many films and is easily recognizable.Diff social groups

The document discusses how a media product represents different social groups. It analyzes the costumes and setting in the opening title sequence, which represent a middle class mother figure collecting the mail in her dressing gown like any other mom. The relatively large house and three cars in the driveway also indicate the woman is from a middle class background based on her education level and property.What have you learned about technologies from the

The document provides a detailed analysis of the technical aspects of the horror film Saw II, including mise-en-scene, editing, camerawork, and sound. Quick cuts, close-ups, and amplified sounds are used to build tension and emphasize the pain and fear experienced by the characters. Camera angles make the victims seem small and helpless. Settings with sparse lighting and furniture create a sense of hopelessness. Sound is also used to create unease, such as the absence of noise and amplified ticking of a stopwatch. Overall, the film's technical elements effectively engage the audience and convey themes of torture, psychological games, and the consequences of not following Jigsaw's rules.Costumes & props and special effects
- 1. 28575389890Costumes & propsThe main character is dressed in her pyjamas and a dressing gown for the duration of the title sequence. This can be seen as a safety blanket for the mother because she feels as if this is the main object that is protecting her from coming to terms with reality and the loss of her child.<br />We used the cereal and the child’s bowl, bib and spoon (the screen grab on the left hand side) on the table to reveal a hollow absence because the mother is still carrying out the daily routine she used to do when her child was there. This reflects haunting and brings a psychological element to our horror film because it seems as though she will also be ‘hollow’ if she does not complete these tasks which enables her to get through the day.The man carrying the box is dressed in black which makes him seem mysterious and causes an interest for the audience to find out what role he is playing in the storyline. His lack of distinct clothing with no obvious logos creates anonymity to his character, making him seem even more mystifying. <br />The box is wrapped in blue wrapping paper; this could represent the fact that it’s related to the child as blue is commonly linked to baby boy’s. The wrapping paper suggests that this box is a gift/present; presents are filled with nice surprises however this box is filled with a shocking surprise. <br />To improve this factor of our opening title sequence, we could have added ‘missing’ newspaper articles sparsely scattered around the house which would have made the whereabouts of the little boy more known to the audience. <br />3419475405765Special effectsThe main special effect we used was when the mother was recalling a memory of her and her son playing with his teddy bear. The effect we used was a filter called ‘dream’ because we wanted it to seem as though it was a distant memory and it was the best filter which gave that effect. <br />Also, we liked the way it was slightly blurring the image as it makes it seem as the mothers memories of her son are becoming hazy and it could accentuate emotions which emphasises feelings of separation and loss. <br />To improve it, the little boy could have worn the same shirt in the flashback as the one we saw when the mother was laying his clothes on his bed. This would have been better because it allows the audience to make a connection. <br />
