In my class I watched previous horror film introductions and there is a lot of various qualities that can make my horror introduction better that I have learnt from them. some of the videos had very good story line but couldn't perform it to their best ability because of difficulties such as light. Some of the videos were filmed at night and on the street in the woods and because of this there wasn't much light. also some of them I was not able to see properly because of the ongoing traffic in the background was so loud. From this I have learnt to think about lighting and to also make sure I bring some sort of light source and also not to record next to traffic.
Some groups used good camera angles which helped create the meaning of the film. They also used editing, sound, image and mise-en-scene for further effect. Also as well as having good use of these they also had good control over the camera by making it steady and shaky when/if needed.
I also learnt that you don't have to show death or blood to make it scary it could just be a guy who is scary by the way he looks and behaves as well as adding effects such as music to it. Also in the past horror film introductions I realized that some of them paid great attention to their costume and when to change it. This make it scarier as it flowed with the movie and made it more realistic.
While watching these I made notes of the most important things that they paid attention to as it is going to help me with my horror film introduction. Things such as:
You don't actually need to show the death to make it scary
Lighting is a difficult thing to do but will be good if we do it right
Bad acting will bring our grade down
Rushed scenes are bad
Using varied camera angles to create meaning is a good
Editing with sound is something we have to do
Including Mise-en-scene for effect is good
Editing is a way to make meanings clear
Steady camera work if necessary
