Film research

The reason why i have posted this film on the blog is because the opening scene links into the original idea. The selection of shots are very well organised to apply the sense of horror to the viewer, this is what we were trying to aim for in our original short film idea. I think that the framing of the shot is key because the women is in the centre of the screen which means that she is main focus of the film, this also means the viewer can see the surrounding equally and it can makes her stand out more. The establishing shot of the empty woods with the crow sounding in the background makes it clear the film has a horror element. The shot where the camera moves out from behind the tree gives the impression that the character is being followed by someone or something, also the shot where the character turns around also gives the impression that they are being followed. This is ironicly humorous when we realise that she is in fact chasing an Ice cream van and although this twist of humor was not are intetion in our original idea, it is enjoyable to watch and relieves the audience from the initial tension and worry.
