Shot by Shot Analysis
The image and title/company use develops the convention from the sub-genre because although the story and the settings are similar, Friday The 13 appeals to the audience more. The use of camera, mise-en-scene, characters, sound and editing represent the sub-genre because they are most likely to be seen in slasher film. Example mise-en-scene, the whole movie Friday The 13 is set in the forest and the use of lighting is mostly dark. There is use of non-diagetic sound, but in certain scenes e.g. when the killer appears to kill his victim. The use of costume and prop unique used for the killer(wearing a mask and old jacket and holding a knife), whereas the victims are as normal as day to day life. The story and characters, teenagers going out for camping in the woods, mysterious and abandoned farms in places(point of view shot of someone is watching from the woods) gives a hint that something is about to happen. The title are edited uniquely by using cross section editing of the titles and scenes. This is used to give the audience a hint from the beginning that the film will be a slasher movie, giving audience an expectation of what things may happen in terms of the movie being a slasher film. The way Friday The 13 is set, has inspired us in terms of mise-en-scene, characters/story and sound work. We have used the type of characters, location and sound within our film.
