This film poster for "Memento" depicts the main characters Guy Pearce and Carrie-Anne Moss in layered overlapping photos to represent a memory one of them cannot escape. The poster suggests their relationship is as enemies, though the film reveals she was actually his murdered wife. The tagline "some things are best forgotten" hints that something horrible revolves around the two characters connected to a memory one cannot forget. Unique aspects that draw the viewer are its psychological thriller approach incorporating memory loss and featuring the well-known actor Guy Pearce.Location Shots

The film includes a female character representing a middle-class English teenage girl studying in college, shown to be innocent and on her phone frequently like most teenage girls. It also includes a male stalker character dressed in all black to appear evil and scary without being too obvious initially to build suspense. Camerawork, lighting, editing and sound were used to manipulate audience perception of the characters, with dark lighting for the male and bright lighting for the female. While diverging somewhat from genre conventions by not using props for the male, the representations generally reinforce social stereotypes with the upbeat female and negatively portrayed stalker male.More from diefast live pretty (7)

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.

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.Introducing character
- 1. Introducing Character<br />We chose this screen grab as it introduces the most significant and important character being the mother, she represents a distraught , distressed character who helps to construct horror conventions through the way she acts and carries out her daily routine as a mother despite her situation , this is used to create a sense of realism the fact that she is psychologically damaged and mentally unstable .<br />Interestingly we chose her as she is meant to portray vulnerability and show how extreme emotion has over ridden her , initially coinciding with her struggling to come to terms with reality. We chose to incorporate the other characters to add to the tension and suspicion felt by the audience, this is shown throughout the opening as the man’s face is never revealed. The boy was added to show how life was before, interestingly we see the contrast between her character then and her character now as she was much happier and in a better state of mind before.<br />-56134032194500<br />
