New decision for film genre

We have now decided to do a horror film instead of a gangster on the bases that it will be easier to film. Also we have analysis horror movies in class such as scream and saw so we have already got some ideas for the film. A horror film is a better movie genre because it build tension up with the audience. we can use better props and use more tense music.

Our film Certificate




Our film be be a 15 rating.

15 - Suitable only for persons of 15 years and older. Please note: proof of age may be required.

Camera Angles

The camera angle marks the specific location at which a camera is placed to take a shot. A scene may be shot from several camera angles.This will give different experience and sometimes emotion.

High-angle shot - In film, a high angle shot is usually when the camera is located above the eyeline. With this type of angle, the camera looks down on the subject and the point of focus often get "swallowed up" by the setting. High angle shots also make the figure or object seem vulnerable or powerless.

Low-angle shot- A low-angle shot, is a shot from a camera positioned low on the vertical axis, anywhere below the eyeline, looking up.

Bird's eye shot- A Bird's eye shot refers to a shot looking directly down on the subject. The perspective is very foreshortened, making the subject appear short and squat. This shot can be used to give an overall establishing shot of a scene, or to emphasise the smallness or insignificance of the subjects. These shots are normally used for battle scenes or establishing where the character is. It is shot by lifting the camera up by hands or by hanging it off something strong enough to support it. For a scene that needs a large area shot, then it will most often likely to be lifted up by a crane or some other sort of machine.

Advantage of the snow





I was thinking cause of the snow it would be a great idea to use the snow for a blood scene where the person gets stabbed. We can then use red food colouring to make the scene even more bloody.

Here are some notes i took down on the dark knight.

Batman is a bat so the lighting makes everything seems to be dark and he never has to fight a villain in the day time because bat only come out at night.

It is a very action filled film but has a little bit of romance in the film the film never gets boring and has lot of action bit throughout the film.

The camera shot make you feel as if you are there in the film.

where batman is in black and grey dark colour the villain (the joker) is dressed in so many bright colours and has a white and red face to stand out,All of the vehicles he uses throughout the film are always black.

Batman is a very basic superhero, he cant really do anythink all he is very strong which he uses to his advantage.

The film as a very good story line but it seems to have two story line one is the batman side of his fighting and stuff and the other is this romantic side with batman and this woman Rachel Dawes who have the twisted love for each other because Rachel Dawes is one on batman closest mates.
