EVALUATION ANALYSIS

Image
EVALUATION – Film Studies  Horror is a genre which is designed to trigger and challenge the audience’s senses. It heightens the audience’s level of agitation when watching the film. It was especially important for me during the process of my short film to create an intimacy between actor and audience. My initial passion for the gothic genre in particular arose from watching  ‘The Fly’ which used visual effects to make the audience feel uncomfortable, however personally I would have cut out the dialogue and used sound and editing more as an advantage as well as th e visual effects, this is something I incorporated in my own short film. GENRE  I think genre I am demonstrating in my film, is identifiable through the micro elements. Sound and editing are two big areas, which can clearly identify a particular genre. In my film, I created a glitching effect as well as strobe effect, which I overlapped on the footage in particular areas. This enhances the tension in the film,

ROUGH CUT

Image
ROUGH CUT Here is my rough Cut footage of my short horror film. I'm extremely happy with the outcome so far. It fits the style I want to achieve as a director. I'm going to be building it up, using dramatic sound effects and intense editing to carry on with this style. I think no dialogue is great for this film, as it adds suspense. Dialogue can ruin horror films at times, as it's more about the misè en scene, editing and sound.  I think this footage turned out better than expected, I have learnt to create this look using editing and sound. after creating this, I know how to develop this further carrying on with the techniques I am using.

PLANNING DIRECTORIAL STYLE

Image
DIRECTORIAL STYLE  for my short film, I want to show a directorial style, by using fast quick shots which were overlaid to create a sense of movement and tension. I have took some inspiration from Hitchcock, using his dark, black and white filter effect on certain parts of my film. This creates suspense and shows a particular style to the director which is what I wanted to show. I have also used short quick cuts, like Edgar Wright uses. this builds up tension and puts the audience on edge.

PLANNING SOUND

Image
SOUND In my film, I will be using nursery rhyme lyrics and beside it I will be downloading royalty free sound effects to create more tension and build it up. I found some lullaby's on YouTube which I downloaded and will be overlapping. I used Zapsplat and free sound to find good audio which will fit into my film. This image shows the sound effects that are already built in to iMovie. I have overlapped many sounds to create more suspense and build up tension. There are non-diegetic and Diegetic sounds which all work together with no dialogue. I used some of these sound son iMovie, as they ambient sounds which work well in the background. Here I used my notebook to write down the lullaby lyrics I will being using in the text messages, this will help me, when it comes to typing it all out on my phone and sending it by text message. I also wrote down all the lullaby songs I will be using in my short film.

PLANNING STORYBOARDS

Image
STORYBOARDS... Here are my storyboards. due to it being set in a forest, it was really hard to draw It out as a forest looks the same, so for most of it I just commented about the camera angles I will be using and what will be happening in each shot.  This was my vision before I started filming my short film. After starting my final cut and editing some bits. I then had to retake parts and then I decided to create the ending part, after watching multiple times and thinking about the best outcome. therefore the ending part is not on these storyboards. This storyboard was a rough guide, so I knew when the events were taking place in order.  whilst I was in the forest filming, a-lot of shots changed for the better, as I saw things from different angles.
