Part 4 evaluation

For my product it conforms to the codes and conventions because the way that our sequence was filmed it had to conforms to the codes and conventions of the horror genre because if we didn't cover most of the conventions we would not successfully make it properly and it would not be effective.

in the sequence we have a series of different shots like close ups of the mysterious man hand to keep his cover hidden and to see what he is doing this creates suspicion and constant enigma because of his actions are confusing because throughout the sequence you re asking questions like why is he doing that? why does he have those pictures? with this the sequence was entirely inspired with the sequences by "se7en" and "the conjuring" and because they had a very successful film through its effects and the plot lines.

 Codes & Conventions of Horror (Camera Angles)Extreme close ups (emphasise the subject) Tilt (to create disorientation) Establishing shots (showing location, stereotypically isolated buildings e.g. mansions or forests) Handheld (looks realistic, making it feel more believable,) Long shots (help show the danger or what the lead character is surrounded by, usually isolated) Tracking (where the camera moves at the side, following a character) Dollying (where the camera follows the character from in front or behind, to make it feel as if the character is being followed/stalked)Point of view shot (so the audience can see what the character sees, to feel as if we are looking through their eyes) Atmosphere is usually sinister and location often appears dark and isolated. Often do not always use well known star actors or actresses as the audience feel more uncomfortable with actors they don’t recognise as it makes them feel less secure Montage editing and quick shots in the trailer to increase tension and suspense.


these codes and conventions are very significant to our title sequence because with these codes and conventions we was able to pin point and adjust our title sequence to suit and make sure that they conform with all of these in addition to this with our sequence the group made sure that it was covering all of the bases. in the sequence we have chose very eerie and disturbing music that was made by Billy furthermore the titles themselves had to be suitable and these were chosen by and made by jeevan . 

we have not used any actors that we have known because this gave us a chance to explore more actors and other actresses that specialise in the field in horror and we decided to use walk in auditions because this would of cost less.
