Analysis of a Horror

This is a short analysis of the horror film 'The Conjuring'.



For this task I needed to analyse everything that happened within the clip. I needed to include: the description, the timing, mise-en-scene, sound, camera work, editing and typology. I found this very challenging as there was a lot of moving which madem it difficult to catch all the detail.
Watching these film titles helped me see how they are made to look attractive for a horror based film and they help build tension.

 This task helped my group develop our ideas as it gave us a guideline to follow. Myself and my group all created an analysis of a horror title so we could combine all our knowledge and ideas together to make our film titles effective. As as group, we saw a range of colour schemes to represent different things. For example, red represents blood which the audience would identify to be danger. The titles we discussed helped us to make our own titles conventional.

Film Pitch, Padlet and Amendments

This is our groups film pitch that we had to create in detail. We had to include: The title, log line, sub-genre, a resource list and a synopsis which needed to contain as much information as possible. Firstly, we had to create a title for our horror film and when knew it had to be related to the internet as our film forms around the a social networking site, therefore our film title is 'into-net'. We then discussed the sub genre and where our idea would come under and we decided it would be a psychological horror. The long line was next but we left this blank as we thought this would need extra attention as its a hint of what our horror film is about. It consists of a 'killer' who contacts teenagers and makes them suffer. The detailed synopsis had to contain the storyline from beginning, middle and end. We found this particularly hard as our group didn't think of the film as a whole so we had to add quiet a bit of extra information. We then wrote all the resources we were going to need for our horror film.




These are the comments made by peers which are to help improve the film fitch and give us a wider image of our film. These improvements helped by letting us know what the audience would need to know about the film as a whole.

Created with Padlet

This is our film pitch with all improvements on it. We took in all advise given and added extra information to make our horror more exciting. Now the film has been looked at as a whole and made better for our tasrget audience.
