Individual Film Research

by Alistair Young

Scream•From watching Scream, we learnt how we

can integrate jump scares into our OTS using a variety of shots.

You’re Next• You’re Next showed us how we can use

close ups of people to show their facial expressions of confusion and fear to connote meaning to the audience.

Kathryn• We watched a OTS on youtube which focused

on the madness + paranoia genre. What we learnt from this is how we can let the audience know this person in our OTS is going crazy.

Psycho•From Psycho, we learnt how we can be

able to build up suspense and tension when the audience sees something that the person in the OTS doesn’t.

The Ward

•What we learned from The Ward was, again, how to integrate quick scenes of psychological horror into normal, everyday scenes.

Tale of Two Sisters

•A tale of two sisters gave us some ideas about how to use more than one person, and how to bring in an evil character using different types of shots.

May

•May gave us a couple of ideas on how to use disturbing images to good effect in our film.

Apollo 18• From Apollo 18, we learnt how to build tension by

making everything seem normal at first but then gradually gets worse and more frightening as the film progresses.
