Research: Horror Film Findings

These are the three main films which i looked at to look at the structure and also the props which was natural to the scene.
 
By analysing these films i can find different techniques which i could use for my own film. I do believe this is beneficial to me to find props which will be natural to the scene. and also highlight key areas which could be adopted into our film





Firstly this is Paranormal activity "The Marked Ones" which was released in 2014. it is also set in Mexico and is back on a young man who has a next door neighbour who hosts devil worships. 

This film challenges the representations of traditional horror film due to the use of scenes there are not really scary scenes within the start of the film which helps illustrate to the directors audience the genre of the film. however as you progress into the film it is more apparent that the film is horror based initially used to scare its audience.
there as also different specs of this film which helps the director create a greater effect  within there scenes.

1) Use of Dialogue
2) Use of camera angles
3) use of editing techniques

1) Use of props - "Chainsaws, swords, Blood" these are elements of tis horror film which helps the film become more realistic, fake blood is used within the make up stage which helps simulate someone being murdered, this helps scare the audiences by the graphic view of blood


2) Use of camera shots - " close up shot of the bride on top of the zombie and using the chainsaw to split its head in half" also the blood is flicking onto her it shows the representation on gore which is usually seen within horror films with the use of 


3) Sound - "screams from the guests, sound of weapons penetrating the zombies and also the sound of the zombie bite as they infect victims".  This illustrates the use of contrapuntal sound (exaggerated) and also diegetic sound illustrated which is natural to specific scenes, e.g. Wedding bells ringing in the church and also screams from the guests which are natural to the scene because the zombie apocalypse will cause confusion and panic which is expected.











 


Finally "Ouija" film which was release in 2014. This film highlights a girl who finds a  "Ouija Broad" and begins to use it however, she then finds out that the Ouija broad is real and the ghost controlling the broad is controlling every move she is making. This is a
