how can I spot that it is a horror film?
-The music non-diegetic -
Screams
-diegetic
-Voice on the phone was creepy/ scary
-Setting is isolated, no one to help -
Alone in house, lots of glass
- being watched, more vulnerable and can be seen from outside wherever she is.
-Costume of killer, scary stereotype -Knives in kitchen (props)
-Mask, prop
- Lighting is dark (inside/outside) gets darker gradually in house
-Makeup blood on boyfriend
-Popcorn on fire foreshadows danger, increases drama
-Blonde woman more vulnerable
-Woman wearing pure and innocent colours which juxtapose to the killer wearing dark colours Camera:
- Fast zoom in to a .close up on her face when she realises he is watching her to show facial expressions
-Wide shot on outside of house to show isolation and darkness
-Camera tracks her around the house
-Medium close up at beginning of phone call works together with diegetic sound, highlights her innocence and shows she stereotypical
Sound:
-Diegetic sound of phone ringing, represents danger arising
-Non diegetic sound of intense music starts to increase which shows tension building up that we should be scared
- heartbeat
-Synchronous sound of swing, creepy
-Tone changes in killers voice when he gets angry
-Diegetic sound of dog barking outside, someones outside, dogs bark at intruders
Editing:
-Cuts become quicker to match the sound of the music
-Slow paste at beginning shows her vulnerbility, making popcorn-stereotypical girl, innocent
-Match on action of telephone when she see's it again and picks it up this further highllights her naivity.
-Slow paste playing with knives, no cuts
Mise-en-scene:
-Stereotypically making popcorn
-Killer wears mask
-Teenage girl is the victim
-The music non-diegetic -
