Film coursework - Orphan (horror film) How is cinematography used within the scene in Orphan to create effect?
The film runs in a linear
narrative which is not always that common with horror films. The scene starts
off with a close up of the monster which is a little girl called Esther. This
is not a common horror convention as it usually involves a child as a victim.
The close up allows me to see the serious expression on her face and with the
non-diegetic music varying between low and high extremes it makes me feel nervous
and makes the tension of the scene grow. It then moves to a close up of Max who
smiles which suggests her innocence. The mid shot of Esther shows her with sets
of tools which foreshadows the type of weapon which will be used in a later
scene.
The tension is again
increased with the contrast of the low non-diegetic music and the diegetic
rattling of pens and keys whilst there is no speech taking place. This then
cuts back to a close up of the hammer in Esther’s hand a long with the
non-diegetic music using the high and low extremes again makes me think that
the hammer will be her weapon of choice. The camera then tracks up to a close
up of her face before moving to a mid-shot of her placing the hammer into the
backpack. A shot reverse shot is now used between Max and Esther as it shows a
mid-shot of Max jingling the keys before cutting back to a close up of Esther
where her eyes appear to be very black which makes me feel uneasy. The scene
then moves to a close up of the keys which suggests they are of some
significance, maybe the link to the next part of the scene. This is followed
with an eye line match from Esther to the safe. As the camera zooms in of the
safe the non-diegetic music is very high pitched and increases in volume and
pitch the further the camera zooms, this creates a lot of tension and suggest
the terror that is yet to come. A high angle long shot is now used as Esther is
unlocking the safe which makes it look like they are being watched before it
jumps to a close up of the safe being opened and a gun being revealed inside.
The non-diegetic music is very high pitch extremes creating more tension as
there is another eye line match between Esther and the gun. The close up of
Esther shows her smirk which a hints at danger. It then jumps to a close up of
Max and her concerned expression again emphasises her innocence before a close
up of the gun as Esther places a single bullet in before it moves to a mid-shot
of Esther pointing the gun at Max. It moves to a long depth of field to a short
depth of field which leaves the focus on the gun but the camera has positioned
it so the gun feels like it is pointed directly at me. This is similar to the
scene in "Run Lola Run" when the police officer is pointing the gun
as if it is straight at me. This again begins to make me feel uncomfortable as
I feel on the spot and the non-diegetic music again rises which is a key horror
convention. The closeup of Max emphasises her vulnerability before moving to a
closeup with the gun in the shot as Max shakes her head. As the pitch of the
non-diegetic music increases there is a shot reverse shot between a closeup of
Esther and a long shot of the nun through the window. This is also an eyeliner
match as Esther turns around to look and then I see a long shot of the nun leaving.
It then moves back to the long depth of field with the gun pointed directly at
me before it cuts to a closeup of Esther moving the catch of the gun. The non-diegetic
music hits a very high pitch extreme which emphasises the danger.
The next part of the
scene is the nun getting into the car. Parallel editing is used as it cuts to a
long shot of Esther and Max running through the woods. The clear sharp tones of
non-diegetic music as the car begins to drive through the snow is similar to
the location of "The shining". Furthermore the isolation of the house
on its own is a clear horror convention and again intertextuality with
"The shining" as that was also set in an isolated area surrounded by
snow. It continues with the parallel editing as it moves from a long shot to an
extreme long shot of the girls by a bridge which suggests this will be the
location of the action. This moves to a closeup of Esther looking through the
bridge before the camera follows along the bridge before moving onto a closeup
of Max. There is a jump cut to a long shot of the girls from behind them. As
Esther starts talking it moves to a closeup of Max which allows me to see her
scared expression which again suggests her innocence before moving back to
Esther which is another shot reverse shot. The birds eye view of the car coming
down the road portrays it as prey and very vulnerable, this is further
emphasised with the drop of pitch in the non diegetic music. The closeup of the
wheel foreshadows that something will happen involving the car which makes me
start to feel nervous. This idea of foreshadowing is emphasised more as the
camera cuts to a closeup of the nun driving the car with a serious expression
which makes me think she is concentrating because the roads are dangerous and icy.
An eye line match is then made from a closeup of Esther's eyes to a long shot
of the car coming down the road which suggests Esther is about to cause
trouble. A mid shot of Esther signing to Max is then cut to a mid shot of Max
looking very scared and not like she wants to be part of Esther's plan. This
makes me feel bad for Max and nervous for what is about to happen. It then
moves back to the previous closeup of the wheel before another long shot of the
car coming over the bridge but the non-diegetic music is climaxing and hitting
extreme high notes which suggests that the danger is near. A closeup of the nun
reaching into her bag before an over the shoulder shot of her placing a
cigarette in her mouth shows that she has moved her concentration from the road
making her vulnerable. The shots jump quickly between a long shot of Esther
pushing Max into the road and the long shot of the wheel but this time with Max
placed in the right hand side of the frame. This the jump cuts to the car
coming towards Max but it feels as if it is coming directly at me which sets me
on the edge of my seat. The closeup of Max allows me to see the terror in her
eyes which is also exaggerated by the extreme high pitch non diegetic music.
The closeup of the nun emphasises her fear accompanied with a diegetic scream.
It then moves back to the wheel again but this time a closeup with Max in the
right of the frame. The closeup is used to show how close the car is to Max. As
the car goes past Max the shot moves to make me feel like I am Max and the car
has only just missed me. Next is a montage of shots moving quickly between a
closeup of the brakes then the wheel before a closeup of the nun, this is
accompanied with very high pitch non diegetic music which is so high that it
sounds like screams. There is a long shot showing me the car going out of
control before moving to a high angle shot which again suggests the idea of
vulnerability.
There is a closeup of the
nun accompanied with the diegetic sound of her sigh suggesting how relieved she
is yet she has no idea the terror yet to come. This cuts to another closeup but
of Max crying before cutting to a shot from behind the nun as she gets out the
car, this further emphasises the vulnerability again as it is like she is being
watched. As there is a long shot of the nun running towards Max the non-diegetic
music begins to intensify. There is a shot reverse shot starting with an over
the shoulder shot which focuses on the nuns concerned face as she begins to
fuss Max, then an over the shoulder shot which focuses on Max crying before
switching back to the over the shoulder shot which focuses on the nun but this
time as the nun moves it reveals Esther stood over her. There is an extreme
closeup of Max's eyes before an eye line match . As the non-diegetic music hits
a climax we see a closeup of the nun as she turns her head but it feels like it
is direct at me like she is looking at me for help. There is a closeup of
Esther before it cuts to a closeup of the hammer we saw earlier in the scene.
You hear the diegetic crunch as the hammer hits the nun’s head and a closeup of
Max as she begins to scream and cry again. A closeup of her head bleeding before
a closeup of Esther showing no remorse. The non-diegetic music is now low
tones. The scene ends as with a long shot of Esther throwing the hammer as it
hits the snow you see the contrast of the white pure snow with the red blood.
Blood being another key horror convention.

For our creative task we were asked to produce a five shot film sequence based on the film noir genre.We were asked to include different camera angles and the key conventions of the film noir genre. Our whole sequence was in black and white to follow the theme of film noir. We did not have the right circumstances to shoot in low key lighting and to create the shadows that we wanted. Me and Emma directed, filmed and edited the piece and James did the acting and voice over. Our sequence ran in a circular narrative. Our opening shot was a closeup zooming out to a mid shot of James dying so that the audience understood what was going on. Our second shot was of James was the start of James' flashback which was a long shot and tracking of James walking down the street before a camera tilt to focus on a creepy tree.We did this to set the location of the sequence. Our third shot was a shot of a "strictly no admittance" sign which was also zoomed in on. This was done to indicate the crime within the sequence. Our fourth shot was a mid shot of James looking through venetian blinds as venetian blinds are a key part of the film noir genre. Our final shot was back to the same shot from the start but this time it zoomed in from a mid shot to a closeup. We used a voice over throughout our piece as this explained the story to the audience and is another key convention of film noir. Our story line was that James was investigating a murder before realising he had a split personality and was actually the murderer so he killed himself because of the guilt. In future I would work with Emma again as we work really well together but I would not work with James as he does not commit himself to the work and walks off and chats to his friends instead of filming which meant we had to leave our film to the last minute.
The genre of The shining could be argued to be either psychological or
thriller horror. It uses clear horror conventions throughout. It is a 1980s
film which was directed by Stanley Kubrick. The narrative of the film is based
on a man called Jack who becomes the caretaker for an isolated hotel called the
Overlook. He moves him and his family there to look after the hotel whilst
nobody is there. Jacks son can view the past and future and can see ghosts.
During their time here Jack becomes possessed and attempts to kill his family.
The opening scene of The shining is an establishing shot of the
isolated location where the film is set. It moved to a bird’s eye view to
exaggerate the isolation and hostility. It follows a single car which suggest
the vulnerability. Isolation/alienation is a major horror convention so it
already sets the genre of the film. The non-diegetic music varies between very
extreme low and high pitch tones which is again a clear horror convention
as the contrast sets a tense tone and made me feel on edge. The long shot
following the car sets the idea of a predator as it moves in closer on the car.
As he enters the hotel the mise en scene is a simple hotel with candles as
lights. The candles are a horror convention as they could link to religious
meanings or to fire and danger. Furthermore the post section behind the front
desk is laid out in a cross pattern which again could link to a religious
theme. The long shot shows him dressed in a smart suit which portrays him as
quite a sensible and professional character. A cross dissolve edit is then used
to move to the next scene. This scene shows a basic flat which is fairly empty.
The scenery and the cigarettes suggest a lower class situation. The shot
reverse shot switches between the mother and the child Danny to give some
context to the audience. Parallel editing is used as it now moves back to Jack
in the office. The manager of the hotel is wearing a red tie, the iconography
of the colour red is danger and could also be linked to blood. The rule of
thirds is clearly obeyed within this scene and the close-ups on the faces
emphasise the concerned facial expressions being passed between them. The
diegetic sound is them talking about the previous caretaker who chopped up his
family which gives a huge hint at the horror genre. The iconography and this
diegetic sound make me feel like this is a warning of what is yet to come. The
cross dissolve edit is then used to focus on Danny in the bathroom talking to
himself, the camera begins to zoom in on him as if something is walking towards
him before cutting back to a long shot of Jacks wife, and there is low tones of
non-diegetic music before a sharp diegetic sound of the phone ringing. Jacks
wife is again in red clothing which foreshadows the danger to come, after the
parallel editing of a phone call between Jack and his wife there is an over the
shoulder the shot of Danny that views him through the mirror as the camera
zooms in on his face with low toned non diegetic music in the background. The close
up of Danny allows me to see the shock and panic on his face before it moves to
a long shot of blood rushing out of the hotel lifts as if it was rushing
directly at me. This begins to make me feel uncomfortable before it cuts back
to a close up of Danny screaming, this has clearly set the genre as horror.
The next scene I will analyse is near the end. It starts with a long shot of
Danny holding a large knife next to where his mum is lay in bed whilst he
repeats the word "redrum". There is very sharp high pitch no diegetic
music which makes me feel on edge. There is a mid-shot of Danny writing
"redrum" on the door in a red lipstick. Again the repetition of the
colour red. The over the shoulder shot of Danny then zooms in on the mothers
face to emphasise her scared expression before it jumps to a shot of the mirror
which shows the word "redrum" as "murder" written on the
door before zooming in on it. The non-diegetic high pitch music makes the scene
tenser and creates a climax. Clear horror conventions are now portrayed as she
screams before it moves to a mid-shot of Danny hitting the door with a classic
horror weapon, an axe. This is intertextuality to the film My Bloody Valentine
as both films involve the monster/villain smashing the door down with an axe to
reach their victims. Jack is wearing a red jacket again leading on with the
theme of red throughout. The mother locks her and Danny in the bathroom which
is again putting herself in an isolated position which is a horror convention
as she cannot escape. There is more parallel editing as it jumps between Jack
smashing the hotel door down with the axe and her panicking and trying to lock
the bathroom door. The close up of Danny's fearful facial expression makes me
feel nervous for what is yet to come. The long shot of the snow slope suggests
this is their only way of escaping. The non-diegetic music begins to get higher
as Danny is pushed out the window to escape and I know that Jack is not far
behind. The parallel editing of her stuck and Danny walking through the room makes
me realise that there is more action to come. The close-up of Jack suggests he
is possessed with his wide eyes and strange facial expressions. Jack keeps
referring to childish things such as links to hide and seek and children
stories such as the three little pigs, this suggests that he sees this as a
game and that he knows he is the predator.
In film studies we were asked to create a short film of a thriller/horror genre. We were put into groups of three and were told our film needed to include different film techniques such as camera angles. Our film turned out to be more thriller based as it was not very scary. We did not have the right circumstances to film a horror film so we thought a thriller would be an easier route to go down. We set our film at the local graveyard as we thought that was the most interesting spot around. Our narrative was that Lewis was being chased through the graveyard before being killed by a mystery murderer. I took part in the acting, filming and editing. In our film I played the mystery murderer and I was shot from a low angle as I walked off into a creepy alleyway. We made sure we filmed it so that my back was to the camera so that the audience could not see my face. We shot it from a low angle so it was like it was from Lewis' point of view so the audience understood who I was and the role i had played. We used an establishing shot to set the scene of a graveyard, followed by a closeup of Lewis looking around before he began to get chased, we moved into a long shot before we moved into a tracking shot from Lewis' point of view as he fell which overall made the film seem more realistic. Next was the only diegetic sound we used which was Lewis' scream as he was killed, before moving into an extreme closeup, then my scene, then followed by an eye line match of Alex and Emma finding the body which I filmed. After we came back to the computers and edited the film and trimmed down parts of the videos which we did not need and added some creepy non diegetic music in the back which had a bass drop as Lewis started running which further added to the thriller element. All of the group did filming, acting and editing as we all wanted to experience different aspects of the films so they were shared roles.
The success of Jurassic world was down to many elements such
as brand identity, promotion events and celebrity identity. Jurassic world is a
science fiction film based on an island called Isla Nublar and is all about
dinosaurs. It is the fourth installment to the Jurassic park film series. The
first two films were directed by Steven Spielberg and he was the executive
producer for the third but Jurassic world was directed by Colin Trevorrow.
These celebrity names along with names such as Chris Pratt already set out a
form of success of the film. By linking the film to well known directors and
actors it already suggests it will be a good high quality film and will also
attract fans of the stars and people who are fans of the directors other
movies. Furthermore success is guaranteed as it is part of a film series so
people who are fans of the other films will more than likely go to view Jurassic
world. The brand identity of the franchise Jurassic park guarantees success.
During the build up to the release of the film there was quite a big
promotional campaign. A big way of promotion was through social media. The
director would put up tweets of locations where they would be shooting and make
references to the film. Furthermore there was a tease banner released in 2013,
and then in 2014 they tweeted to reveal that Chris Pratt would be starring in
it. They then setup a promotional website for the film. This website included a
virtual tour of the theme park, live video feeds, information pages about the
making of the film and more information pages on the dinosaurs themselves. They
then went on to release an official teaser trailer to increase the hype even
more. However the director then decided the trailer revealed too much of the
film so doubted the success. They didn’t go on to release the picture to the
press until the eleventh hour. The new star wars movie also helped the with
success of Jurassic world as Jurassic world was associated with Star wars and
star wars did very well over in China which allowed Jurassic world to also gain
an even bigger worldwide audience. The promotion of Jurassic world was also
created by word of mouth as it became a big topic for everyone to talk about. In
the end Jurassic world had the biggest opening weekend internationally, locally,
worldwide. It was released at Number one in 69 different places. It reached one
billion dollars within thirteen days which made it the fastest film to reach
one billion dollars. It is also the third highest grossing film worldwide ever.
Jurassic world increased British cinema attendance by a tenth in the first half
of 2015. Overall Jurassic world was promoted very well and became a world wide phenomenon.
My favourite films would have to be the Harry Potter series,
but if I had to pick just one it would have to be Harry Potter and the Deathly
Hallows part two. The Harry Potter’s are fantasy films that follow the life of
young wizard through his time at the wizarding school Hogwarts and through all
the battles and problems that occur. The Harry Potter film series are based on
the books written by J.K Rowling. The main character Harry Potter is played by
Daniel Radcliffe and his two best friends are played by Emma Watson and Rupert
Grint. I love the Harry Potter films because I have watched them ever since I was
little so I felt like I grew up with the characters and I love the idea of the
wizarding world. However, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part two is my
favourite as it is like the finale to the film series and it involves a huge
amount of action. Furthermore no matter how many times I watch it, it still
manages to make me laugh and cry. Harry Potter has one big plot which follows
through out all the films and in the final one everything becomes clear and
important characters die so it is a very emotional film. Harry Potter is set in
a big castle called Hogwarts which is surrounded by mythical trees and magical
woods. Harry Potter is fantasy as it is wizards but also involves other fantasy
characters such as ghosts and talking paintings. In Deathly Hallows part two,
Harry defeats his lifelong enemy Voldemort which the audience had been taught
to hate. The film series uses a lot of special effects, like when the wizards
walk through walls and also when they have battles. Harry Potter is a thrilling
film that can have you laughing, crying or on the edge of your seat. It
represents family and strong friendships. It a significant theme tune which the
majority of people would be able to recognise as it is a mainstream film. It
uses both low key and high key lighting, it usually uses low key lighting when
there is something tense happening or a battle is going to commence. The film
involves made up language such as spells like “expelliamus” which are also key
as this is another way the film is recognised. The demographic for Harry potter
would be males and females aged 10 up to any age as it is classed as a family
film. It is aimed at any social class as anyone can enjoy it. Overall Harry
Potter and the deathly hallows part two is my favourite film because it makes
me feel like I’ve completed the journey with them as I feel as if I am actually
part of the story.
Columbiana is an action film based within a prison. The main character is a female criminal who is causing mischief within the prison. There is a closeup of a prison door handle and a mug with the diegetic sound of the door being opened which was used to make the location clear. There is a low angle shot of a prison officer which could be used to show the superiority of the officer. The clip involves very low lighting which suggests a very negative atmosphere. It starts with long shots of the main character sleeping but then begins to move into closeups and medium shots. A parallel edit is used as it shows the woman escaping from her cell and then cuts to show the police officers who are meant to be observing the cctv. There is a closeup shot to suggest the cctv is part of the plan As the main character begins to move around the prison it uses tracking shots to follow her. As the character gets a glass of water it moves to a closeup shot of the water which suggest it is important to her plan. It then goes on to focus on the electric room which suggests this is where the action is going to start to take place. It moves to a high angle shot as she opens and climbs into the vent. There is quite fast pace non diegetic music in the background to try and build the tension within the scene, also there is the diegetic sound of the fan as that is what is being focused on at this point as she is trying to break it so she can slip through it. As the fan cuts out so does the non diegetic music but soon starts up as the action begins to take place again. The scene carries on with the parallel editing between the main character and the police officers. The long camera shot of her through the fan suggests she has completed that section of her mission. Moving into a low angle shot as she leaves the vent, the low angle shot suggests her superiority and power is increasing. As she creeps up on the police officer in the bathroom it moves to several closeups of her face to exaggerate the intensity of the situation. The long shot of the officer as he falls down allows the audience to see her crouched behind him so they understand that she used him to get through the door. The extreme closeup of the gun indicates the danger and action which is yet to come. As she walks through the prison it focuses on a man asleep which suggests he will be involved. As she approaches the sleeping man it cuts between closeups of her face and the camera zooming in on him before it focuses on a closeup of the gun aimed at his chest. As she wakes him up it cuts to a closeup of the mans face to exaggerate the fear and tension before another high angle shot over the prison cell. As the shooting happens it cuts to the police officers hearing the diegetic gun shots. After the gun shots it goes silent before non diegetic fast pace music starts being played as more action is happening and to display the panic within the prison. This is followed on with the diegetic sounds of alarms ringing and police sirens which further suggests the panic within the scene. There is more parallel editing as it shows the police searching the premises as a high angle shot captures her climbing up the side of the building. Closeups of her hands and feet suggest the power she is using within them to be able to manage to climb up and hang off he wall. A high angle shot of her hanging emphasises how high up she is which also emphasises the danger. There is a non diegetic sound of a beating heart which further emphasises the danger. The low angle shot of her jumping down from the event suggests she has gained her power and is now superior but as the officer is outside her cell it uses a low angle shot to view him which suggests he still has power of her. The clip finishes with a mid shot zooming in on her as she sighs with relief but still has a very tense serious facial expression.
