THIS IS THE YOUTUBE LINK FOR QUESTION 1.




NOTES FOR QUESTION 1


GENRE - HORROR, RETURNING OF LOVED ONE

TWISTED ANGELS – LINKS TO PARANORMAL ACTIVITY – CHILD GONE BAD THEME.

BEGINS WITH OUR OWN INSTITUTION LOGO

THE SETTING IS AN ISOLATED VILLAGE BUT STILL NORMAL PEOPLE – SHOWS HOW IT COULD HAPPEN TO ANYONE AND THIS INTIMIDATES THE AUDIENCE.

THERES NO REAL WEAPON IN OUR OPENING, WANTED TO FOCUS ON PARANORMAL SUB GENRE AND NOT SERIAL KILLER.

FILTER PLACED ON FOOTGE IN EDIT TO CREATE DULER, BLEAK EFFECT. ADDS MORE OF A DARKER TONE TO THE FILM.

NON DIEGETIC GLISSANDI AND BANG, PLUS VIOLIN EERIE MUSIC HELPS TO CREATE ATMOSPHERE

YOUNG TURNING EVIL, PARTICULARLY DISTURBING TO AUDIENCE, CHILDREN HAVE ALL THEIR LIFE, TURN EVIL SO SOON. CHILDREN SEEM HARMLESS BUT CONTRADICTS THE CONVENTION. EXCORCIST PARANORMAL ACTIVITY ETC.

USE WHITE DRESS TO HIGHLIGHT ANGEL THEME. WHITE CONNOTES INNOCENCE AND PURITY. HOWEVER SHOWS DIRT EASILY HIGHLIGHTING CHANGE AND DIFFICULT TO KEEP CLEAN AND GOOD.

USED MUSIC BOX TO CREATE AN EERIE EFFECT, AFTER AUDIENCE RESEARCH WE FOUND THAT MUSIC BOXES WERE PARTICULARLY UNNERVING. CHINA DOLL SHOWS HOW SHE’S A CHILD, EMPHASISES AGE.

WAS SHOT IN THE LIGHT OF DAY, FOR THE OUTSIDE SCENES - GOES AGAINST A COMMON CONVENTION OF DARKNESS, WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT HOW EVIL CAN STRIKE AT ANY TIME. THIS UNSETTLES THE AUDIENCE.


WEARING A BLACK SUIT TO SHOW RESPECT FOR THE SITUATION AND BLACK CONNOTES NOT ONLY AUTHORITY & POWER (WHICH HELPS TO ESTABLISH WHO THE MAIN CHARACTER IS BUT DEATH, DEPRESSION AND SADNESS. HOWEVER, EVIL CHARACTERS SUH AS DRACULA WEAR BLACK, WHEREAS THE GOOD CHARACTER HERE WEARS BLACK. DEFIES CONVENTION.
