Horror movie


                              Scream!

 

 

The horror film I have chosen is “Scream”. This is because I have been able to identify many features in this film.

 
In the beginning we hear a non-diegetic sound which is a scream. this automatically shows us that this is going to be a horror film. The screaming is then cut off by the sound of a telephone ringing. The first scene is set in a big house where the women is alone and it is night time. This gives us the sense that something bad is going to happen to the women. We also hear another non-diegetic sound which is the soundtrack. the music has a lot of suspense and it continually builds up as the character continues to look for the intruder. The director choses to show us a close shot of all the victims so that we can see their scared facial expressions and hysteria. He also shows us a close up of when all the victims are stabbed Which enables us to notice that when the villain stabs her the knife not go in. we also notice that the victim has blood sprout the place she is stabbed (the heart) which makes believe that the victim is bleeding

  1. www some use of media terminology relating to sound, expression and shots which shows good grasp on the basic technical codes.

    ebi some development of your analysis to deal with representations of character, enigma codes and narrative would lift this beyond basic level 2
