The title of the film is introduced at the end of the footage we have put together. The font of the writing of the title is made to show some kind of conotation to the horror genre which our film product represents. Many horror films have the title in their film with font that has some kind of connotation to the genre horror.
Setting/Location
The main setting/location of the film is in the Forrest. The reason why this location was chosen is because it creates the atmosphere as the forrest can be seen as creepy etc. This helps build the tension as you are watching the film and it indicates to the audience that something could happen. There could of been other locations used to help fit into the genre that we are obtaining. However, the Forrest is something not commonly used for horror films and therefore it gives the audience a different prospective of what horror films can be made like.
Costumes and Props
Every film has costumes and porps, therefore this is a typical media convention. In our product, you can see that there is a 'cheatboard' this is what is used to show that Melissa (The girl that gets cheated on) has been stalking her ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend. Also, their is knifes used, this shows some of the conotations and mise-en-scene, this shows weapons, typical weapons that appear in a horror film. The actors are dressed in casual clothes. They are dressed in casual clothes to show that they are just normal casual people, like a real life person. This isn't really a costume, its just the casual day look, however, still acts as a costume.
Camerawork and editing
In this product we have made a few different range of shots, close-ups, mid-shots etc. When editing the footage, we fade some of the shots into other shots, this creates the effects and also shows our editing techniques. Shots like these are used in a real film, so we took some ideas when watching films on our research and decided to use them to make it affective. The fading shots shows the use of our editing and also you can see the the different range of shots used throughout the film. (will be posted on as a later date)
Story and How the opening sets it up
In the film production, it is about where a girl gets cheated on by her boyfriend and then the girl that gets cheated on, she stalks her ex-boyfriend(the one that cheated on her) and his girlfriend, then the girl goes on to kill the new girlfriend to get revenge. The opening sets this up as it begins with the cheatboard, this shows all the stalking the girl has done to her ex-boyfriend and new girlfriend, then it goes to shots of her getting ready to go out and find them, so therefore, the cheatboard shows who the main characters are throughout the opening.
Genre and How the opening suggests it
The genre of the film production we have made is horror. In the opening of the film, you can tell that the genre is horror, as the music of the film is a creepy music and is a conotation to the genre horror. Also in the film opening, you see knifes, this is a typical prop in a horror film and therefore suggests that the film has something to do with horror.
How characters are introduced
In the film production all the characters are introduced seemingly. At the beginning of theproduction, the new girlfriend and the ex-boyfriend are introduced on the cheatboard, this is because they are the main characters to the beginning, then seconds after they are introduced, so is the girl that got cheated on. All the characters are introduced fairly quick to the film, this is so the audience can get quick views of every character in the production.
Special Fx
We didn't really use any special fx. We made the whole film in black and white, which is just an effect. Green screen can help to make special fx, but we didn't really have any real good effects in our final production. Special fx effects would be most commonly used in scifi and action films etc.
