Silent film and Evaluation

silent film


evaluation:

In our film I think that we really honed in on the use of shadow seen in lots of silent film and we did this area as effectively as we possibly could have, also I think that we used longer shots which is again common in German Expressionism. I think that we could have made our film longer if we had more time and also put some more focus on the editing to make the cuts look more authentic. Also I think we could have used more distorted angles and surreal visuals in order to create a more sinister affect.

Evaluative analysis My production is the screenplay “Common People” – the main intention for my film was to show the importance of sincerity and being open. This is something humans have never really mastered.

The films I have studied for inspiration are  When the Day Breaks  (Forbis/Tilby, Canada, 1999) ,  Curfew  (Christensen, US, 2012) ,  La Jettée  (Marker, France, 1962) ,  The Gunfighter  (Kissack, US, 2014) and  Wasp  (Arnold, UK, 2003) . These films are quite different in terms of genre however they all somewhat study and analyse different parts of the human condition and some of them such as  La Jettée  are much more fluid in ter

Gender in Horror: Analysis (B grade)

The modern slasher horror film has gone quite unnoticed compared to other films in the way that it heavily enforces gender roles. Since the beginning of horror gender has been a huge part of the story with the “damsel-in-distress” generic foundations. However recently, a new common plot line has emerged, one where a murderer or supernatural being kills a group of people one by one until the last person who either kills the enemy or escapes. The main issue many people have with these plot lines are tropes, which is the idea that certain characters are almost always certain genders. The most discussed out of all of the tropes is the idea that the last person alive is almost always a woman, and referred to by critics as “the Final Girl”. However which horror films have challenged this protocol and are they still effective despite going against the generalised format of most big budget films? The idea of “the Final Girl” is that they are resourceful and intelligent, but they never actu
