Scream

Scream is an 18 rated film because of its violence. This film was made in 1996 but if it was made again now I think the age rating would lower to 15 because it’s not as

violent as new 18 rated films.

This character looks as if

she is alone which

suggests she’s

vulnerable. She is on the

phone but playing with a knife which

could foreshadow the future.

This a mid shot of the character so we can see that she is on

the phone and playing

with a knife.

The Orphanage

The Orphanage is rated at a 15 because it’s non-violent horror but with a large psychological feel to it.

We can see that from the title of

the film and this shot that

the building is the

orphanage and the

children are the

orphans.

This shot establishes the setting

so we know this

place is important

to the film.

It looks like it’s set

in the past

because of their

clothing.

Shawn Of The Dead

Shawn of the dead is rated at 15 because of the horror content and strong language used.

This long shot shows people

walking almost as if they were

zombie-like which

suggesting humans are already like

zombies.

From the title of the

film and what we see here, we know the film is

going to be about

zombies.

The Haunting In Connecticut

The Haunting In Connecticut is rated at 15 because of the psychological horror theme which is too harsh for a 12a.

This close up shows the

detail on the newspapers

which we can see a picture

of a house with titles

such as ‘hell house’ which indicates this is to do with the story of

the film.

Obviously the story

of the front of these

papers are huge news

as they are

printed on more than

one.

Attack The Block

Attack the block is rated at 15 because of the strong language, drug references & horror it contains.

From this establishing shot we can see the

film is set in London but it

doesn’t give any clues to what it

could actually be about.

We can also see that it

around winter time

because there are fireworks.

The fireworks could be

relevant to the film but

nothing suggests they

are very important from this

shot.

The Host

The Host is rated at 15 because it contains horror, violence and death.

This long shot shows a character

in their surroundings to give the feel of the

place.We can see

the character

doing something

in a lab.

The character

is a scientist of some

sort because

he is dressed in scrubs and looks like he is busy. We

could guess

that what he is

doing will be

strongly related to the film.
