Film Opening || Research and Planning

Eclipse

Writer (Screenplay): Melissa Rosenberg
Writer: Stephenie Meyer
Star Characters: Kristen Stewart (Bella Swan), Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen), Taylor Lautner (Jacob Black)
Feature Length: 119MINS
Suitable For: 12 Years and Over


a) The camera angle was very effective in the opening. The way it jumped and shaked to show horror was amazing. My zooming and showing that its raining makes the audience to have excitement waiting for what's going to happen.
b) In the film there are many camera angels and movements has been used. These are the ones I noticed: Close Up, Extreme Close Up, Above Angle, Medium Close Up, Wide Shot, Bird Eye View etc.
c)
d)  There are lots of editing which creates more excitement and tension to make the audience wanting to see what's going to happen next.
e) Transitions that are used blurriness, transitions, fade, very fast rapid cutting, dissolve, wipe, cutaway.
f) Mise-En-Scene has been used very creative. The clothing is dull and black, heavy rain, ally ways with a dark night, thunder, etc. The sound is very effective because the rain creates tension and scariness and then he music at the back ground backs it very exciting then suddenly a big bang makes you jump up.
g) In the opening, a guy comes out from a night club an ordinary day. He gets his stuff to go back home but a vampire starts chasing him. After chasing the vampire pushes him to the floor and bites him. The character screams because his in pain then he starts turning into a vampire.
h)
i) The opening was very effective not dull and making the audience wait for what's going to happen. Some scary films starts dull and normal making the audience excitement.

a) In the opening there's not much camera angles but Dennis the character who holds the camera is very good of zooming in and out and how it takes the room making it like an documentary.  

b) There are many camera angles and movements. Here are some of them, Medium Close Up, Close Up, Extreme Close Up, Above Angle, Low Angle, 180 Degree Rule, etc.

c)

d) There isn't much editing because the film is filmed by the camera the character is holding. Its good because its like an documentary and its an household camera so their isn't an much editing.

e) To be real there wasn't because its an video recording of the character taking their house. So their wasn't transitions.

f) There wasn't much Mise-En-Scene but the clothing was normal daily clothes, their wasn't light because it was recording. The sound was very effective because the sound that the ghost was doing created great tension and excitement.

g) In the opening is normal ordinary happy family taking videos of their house and family. The character Dennis has stepped into the family new. Everything's normal but in the house there's something strange. In the children's room there's a noise coming in the cupboard. 

h)

i) In my opinion the opening was really effective no tension or excitement to show something bad is going to happen but because of the name everyone knows is about a scary movie.

Initial Audience || Research and Planning

Piece 1:


There are 5 types of audience which are; Initial Audience, Gatekeeper Audience, Primary Audience, Secondary Audience and Watchdog Audience.


Initial Audience - Initial Audience is the first audience to get your message. An Initial audience may also tell you to write the message.


Gate Keeper - Has the power of to stop your message in liey of letting it reach the third set of audience that is the primary audience.


Primary Audience - They are the ones who can either accept your recommendation act upon your message. 


Secondary Audience - Is when they may asked to comment on your message or implement your presented notions later.

Watchdog Audience - Have an oblique role in the entire process.


My first audience is teenagers and early 20s, who are in school life or the people that like the genre of horror and panicing films. the gender for my film is for girls mainly but it can attract boys that like watching horror in school. The reason that applies for teenagers and girls because the character is a girl and there's no boy action in the film.

2) I asked 10 people that like the genre of horror and 6/10 said they enjoy horror with their friends. They also said that they enjoy watching films with friends and which are school type. Here are some answers they gave.

Q: Do you enjoy horror film?
A: Yes! Horror films are amazing to watch with your friends.

Q: Do you think horror film for school is an good idea? And what does the word Panic School feel?
A: Horror films are better if its in different areas which for example the word of school is an ordinary work place not excitement, but the word of Panic School makes me feel excitement and wanting to watch the film thinking what is different about this film.
