Killuminati

This is the type of house we will have as most horror movies be set in big houses.

These are like the type of students we will have in the opening scene.

The killer in our video will be similar to the killer above in the picture. We chose this specific character because he's dress sense is really horrific. Furthermore hes role in his films reveal the genre of horror by including violent scenes and murder. This character will be perfect for our genre which is horror.

We will have a girl as the main character in our film. We chose a female character to be the victim because most horror movies have female characters as the victim. Her dress colour is white which is symbolic because since that colour symbolises purity, it shows that she is going to be an easy target.

The preliminary exercise was to film and edit a character opening a door, crossing the room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character with whom he/she engages in a couple of lines of dialogue.

The main strengths of our production was up we were satisfied s that we were prepared and organized. In addition we were all comfortable with our roles . Editing was easy but it look a bit of time but at the end we all managed to get it finished. As a group we were satisfied with the final edit of the task. As all of us took each turns in different roles and we communicated well.

The only weakness we had was the camera work and framing. There were one scene where it didnt make sense for e.g Nishad's head is above the camera level, second scene Nishad's head is elow the camera level.

Next time we will be careful of the camera works and framing. So it will make sense and look more professional. we will think about camera movements and zooming.

"One Missed Call" is one of the scariest trailer we found. This trailer makes persuades the viewer to go watch the film as it looks very interesting in the trailer. This film has been rated 15+.

This final part of the opening scene shows how effectively the director ends the opening scene. In this clip the murderer kills the girl and hangs her on a tree while her father is trying to find her, her mother listens to her scream in pain over the phone. The scene ends by the parents going outside the house to find their dead daughter hanging from a tree dead.
A lot of suspense is created, as when the victims parents enter the house it's all messed up, the fire alarm is sounding whilst they are rushing around immensely trying fix things and find their daughter; this adds to the 'suspense' factor as everything is very rushed in the house & then when it shows the killer & victim, although something very wrong is happening it's slow and calm. This also indicates that the killer is very comfortable and used to what he just did.

The girl is alone in the house and she is getting ready to watch a scary movie this can be decoded by the audience as the girl will get frightened. She also keeps on getting mysterious calls the audience will also decode this as something bad is going to happen to the girl.
By watching this it is clear that most victims in horror/thriller films are women. As You can see through the study of semiotics the director used a girl alone in the house which makes the girl look vulnerable.

The Genre we have chosen for our coursework is Horror/Thriller. We have been watching a variety of different opening scenes from horror and thriller films and know what type of things we need to include when we film our coursework, these include; Dark skies, Bad weather, Preferably a female character alone and vulnerable, Suburban area and have suspense created right from the start. We chose this genre because we all enjoy watching both horror and thriller films and we agreed it would be the most enjoyable out of all the different types of genres for us to plan and film.
