In
this question I will compare images from my film with images with from
existing media products to see if they develop or challenge conventions.
The films i will be comparing to are films that have given us
inspiration.
This
is the Lionsgate logo in the opening of SAW. the darkness in the
background shows negativity and death. The font of the text is worn and
rusty which shows neglection. the red in the clouds also relates to
blood.
This
is our logo create for our production company. It has developed
conventions as the colour relates to death and blood. This logo also
challenges the conventions as it is a lot lighter and looks a bit more
peaceful. We have also challenged the lionsgate conventions by using a
more messy black font as we believe this shows anger.
-----------------
This
is one of the title images from the film friday the 13th. It shows one
of the key objects from the film to show the audience that it is
important. The scene only shows the mask on its own so that the audience
can focus on it.
I
believe this scene from our opening title develops conventions as it
shows one major object from the film that relates to the killer. We have
also challenged conventions by adding a background to give the audience
an idea of the location.
----------------
Slasher
sub genre is shown is the image because the killer is swinging a large
weapon t a victim showing that the film contains gore and death. The
killer is also made mysterious to add effect.
This
image from my film develops conventions of this film because the killer
is swinging a large weapon at the victim in attempt to kill them.
Another reason my film develops conventions is because the killer is
made to look mysterious.
------------------
This
image from friday the 13th has established character by showing the
characters facial expressions to show that they are scared. The
character is seen as weak and vulnerable because the camera looks down
on them as they are unimportant.
We
have developed conventions of character here as we can see the
character shocked/scared by the facial expressions and they are also
seen as a vulnerable character as they are looked down upon.
--------------------
This
shot shows mise en scene as it displays a long shot of the location the
film is shot in and it also compare the contrast of the victim in the
water to the killer in the woods as the it is brighter in the water then
the woods. the costume of the killer is also shown.
This
shot from our film challenges the conventions of the first shot as
there is no lighting contrast between the characters but it conforms to
the the first movie as it shows a shot of the location and the costume
of the killer.
------------------
4 key images
This
scene from friday the 13th shows a reverse shot of the the killer
attacking from the behind the victim. Tesnsion is built as the victim
cannot see the killer but the audience can.
I have developed conventions from this film as i have done a reverse shot for the killer behind the
victim to build tension. I have also challenged the conventions of this
film as i have hidden the identity of the killer by hiding his face.
----------
In
this image from friday the 13th the killers weapon is onloy shown
wielded by the killer. This makes the character seem more intimidating
and dangerous.
I
have challenged this convention by showing the weapon on it's onw in
the environment so that victim can stumble acrsoos it. This can make the
killer seem careless and can also make him seem more mysterious. I have
also decided to use a tool that is not commonly associated as a murder
weapon.
-------------
In
this shot from nightmare on elmstreet the killers weapon is shown but
the characters identity is hidden. This is becasue only a silouette is
shown making the killer seemore mysterious.I have developed this convention by only showing the weapon and by not showing the killers face.
-------------
In
this shot fro mthe film Halloween the killer is shown from a distance
in a mirror on the right side of the screen. The killers identity is
hidden by a mask.
I
have developed conventions from this film by showing my killer from a
distance with his identity hidden. I have also challenged this
convention by displaying the killer in the centre of the screen to make
them the main focus.
