Still Image From Halloween:

The Lighting Used For This Still Image Shows Both High And Low Key Lighting. Low Key Lighting Is Used Mainly On The Left Side Of The Image. Therefore, The Shade Represents Death. High Key Lighting Is Used For The Effect To Appear More Realistically. Moreover, Under Lighting Has Been Used In Order To Attract The Audience More As The Lighting Used Lets The Viewers See The Characters Facial Expressions. In This Case, There Is A Man Wearing A Mask Standing Beside A Woman Who Appears To Be Dead. Therefore, This Would Attract The Audience More As They Would Like To View The Expressions Considering What May Have Happened.

This Is A Typical Convention To Use In A Horror Movie For The Audience To Then Pick Up On The Genre Straight Away.

This movie is about a group of friends who turn by turn are getting attacked by the villain in the trailer; it shows in graphic detail of everything that is happening within it this will include the camera movement, sound, editing, costume, lighting, and make-up with these key factors this is what makes Face of Fear a trailer to remember."

There Are Several Features Which Make The Face Of Fear Trailer Appealing To The Audience. Whilst Watching The Trailer, You Are Able To See Who The Movie Is Aimed At As It Is Targeted More Towards The People Who Enjoy Thriller. Therefore, The Trailer Is Aimed At A Specific Niche Audience. However, It Is Still Presented To Everyone As The Cast Are Shown As Ordinary People, Lost In The Middle Of Nowhere On A Standard Day. Moreover, I Also Believe The Trailer Is Interesting To Watch As It Is Very Eye Catchy. “Face Of Fear” Is About A Group Of Friends, Who Are Being Followed By The Villain In The Trailer, Who Is Later Revealed As The Slaughterer. The Audience Are Able To View Realistically Everything That Is Or Will Happen. This Includes The Camera Movement, Sound, Editing, Costume, Lighting, And Make Up.

"The camera work varifies in diffrent types of shots. There are many close ups, take for example, you see a girls eyes, as she crys on the screen- this gives the audience the feeling that something bad has happened, and makes them want to know what it is. Also the use of close up is used to focus on the pysco's facial expression- which is angry, this is also makes us wonder why he is angry. The shots that we see are quite short, about a second long at maximum- this is to create a narative enigma. Also it is so that the trailer doesn't drag on for to long, so it only focuses on the important parts."

The Camera Work Verifies In Different Types Of Shots. This Is Shown Throughout The Trailer As There Are Many Close Up Shots Used. For Example, When One Of The Actor’s Eyes Are Zoomed Upon, For The Audience To Sense That Something Bad Has Happened. Therefore, This Makes Them Want To Know What Would Happen, Resulting In Watching The Film. The Use Of Close Up’s Is Also Focused On The Psycho’s Facial Expressions. This Shows The Audience How The Actor Playing The Slaughterer Is Shown To Be Annoyed. This Again Attracts The Audience For Them To Go And Watch The Film. Moreover, The Make Up Used, Also Makes Clear That The Psycho Is The Main Villain In The Film. Each Shot Used Lasts For Around A Second Each. Consequently, This Creates A Narrative Enigma For The Audience, Keeping Them In Suspense Throughout The Whole Preview. Also, The Trailer Shows The Main Plot Of The Story, Instead Of Including Irrelevant Details, As The Students Didn’t Want The Trailer To Seem As If It’s Dragging Along.

“The costumes which the actors wear in the trailer are normal clothes which teenagers living in west London wear, showing how anyone can be affected by bullying, as the girl in the trailer is a normal teenager, but she is picked on and made to feel different. The actors themselves are young aged teenagers in 6th form to relate to the plot of the trailer. The setting of the trailer is in Greenford 6th form to show everyone that even people who are about to become young adults can be affected by bullying, and that this stuff happens when there are hundreds of other people around but nobody notices.”

The Costumes Which The Actors Wear In The Trailer Are Casual Clothing Which Regular People Tend To Wear On A Day To Day Basis; Therefore This Attracts The Audience As They Are Able To See What People Have To Cope With In Life, Reflecting On Real Life Issues. The Trailer Shows How Anyone Can Be Affected By Harassment, As The Main Character In The Clip Is The Victim Of Bullying. The Setting Of The Trailer Is In Greenford 6th Form, To Show How You Can Get Affected By Bullying Throughout Any Age In Life. Therefore, This Attracts The Audience To Watch The Film, As Its Reflecting Upon A Serious Matter.

Face Of Fear Analysis - Essay .x

The “Face Of Fear” Trailer Lasts For Around 2 Minutes, 34 Seconds. Face Of Fear Is About A Group Of Friends Lost In The Middle Of Nowhere. A Psychopath Is Then Shown To Be After Them As He Wishes To Slaughter Each Person There. This Trailer Appeals To People Who Are Into The Theme Of Horror. This Is Because, The Trailer Shows Clips Of The Psychopath Wanting To Slay The Friends, Therefore, Following Wherever They Go. As A Result, This Creates An Enigma For The Audience As It Shows A Lot Of Suspense, Leaving The Audience To Question What Is Going To Happen Next.

The Viewers Are Told The Name Of The Film At The End Of The Trailer. This Is Because, The Audience Are Able To Take In A Brief Summary About What The Film Would Be About, Before Knowing What It Is Called. The Film Name Is Placed At The End Of The Trailer To Leave The Audience In Suspense As To What The Film Will Be About. The Title “Face Of Fear” Would Sum Up The Film, As It Can Be Interpreted In A Number Of Ways. Firstly, Face Of Fear Can Bring Out A Message To The Audience, As How You Should Always Face The Things That Are Bothering You, Or Are In The Way. Also, It Can Mean How Fear Is Always Something That You Will Come Across In Life, One Day Or Another. Therefore, You Are Going To Have To Face It Sooner Or Later.

Moreover, The Type Of Action The Audience Can See In The Trailer Is Shots Such As Throwing A Boy Across The Fence, Placing A Girl Into A Wheel Barrow With Her Being Unconscious And Pouring Petrol Over One Of The Actors. Therefore, This Suggests That The Trailer Is Suitable For People From The Ages 15 And Onwards. The Audience Can Directly Pick Up On The Theme Of The Trailer Once It Comes To The End. The Trailer Starts Of With A Slow Song And Gradually Picks Up On The Beat Which Attracts The Audience More. When The Song Is Playing In A Slow Mode, The Scenes Are Shown To Be Longer. However, When The Beat Changes, The Shots Each Last For Around 2 Seconds, To Go Along With The Hit Of The Song. This Attracts The Audience More And Again, Leaves Them Questioning As To What Will Happen Next. As A Result, The Music Gives The Viewers The Sense That They Are Advertising A Trailer For People Who Are Into The Theme Of Horror As The Sound Chosen, Goes Directly With The Genre. The Trailer Uses Diegetic Sound As The Audience Are Able To Hear Some Of The Dialogue, As Well As The Soundtrack Being Played In The Background.

The Directors Of “Face Of Fear” Have Used A Variety Of Different Camera Effects Such As The Hidden Camera Effect And The Point Of View Shot. They Have Also Used Close Ups, So The Audience Can Catch A Glimpse Of Their Facial Expressions, And To Show The Viewers When There Is A “Private Number” Ringing One Of The Actors Mobiles. This Creates More Of A Dramatic Effect For The Audience As They Are Struck In Suspense As To What May Happen Next. They Have Also Used Long Shots So The Audience Are Able To View The Setting Of The Scene As Well As Examine The Actors Clothing, Which May Help Them Sense Who The Trailer May Appeal To. Furthermore, They Have Also Used Extreme Close Up Shots, So They Can Focus On Just One Specific Feature, Such As The Actors Eyes When Crying.

The Mise En Scene Is What Is Being Shown On The Screen As A Whole. The Actors In Face Of Fear Wear Normal Clothing That People Wear On A Day To Day Basis. Therefore, This Appeals To The Audience, As It Shows That They're Regular People Lost In The Middle Of Nowhere, Trying To Find There Way Back. The Lighting Is Also Shown To Be Very Dim. This Is Because; They Are Reflecting Upon A Serious Note, Trying To Grab The Audience Attention More. The Whole Trailer Is Shown To Be In The Dark. The Actor Playing The Psychopath Plays His Role Well As He Is Able To Pull The Audience Attention To Be Focused On Just Him. He Expresses His Role Well, Making The Viewers Believe That He Is A Real Psychopath.

Lastly, It Is More Effective In Making The Viewers Want To Watch The Film Through The Advertisement Of A Trailer Rather Than A Poster, As In The Trailer; You Are Able To See More Information Being Given. The Trailer Allows You To Introduce The Whole Cast As Well As Deliver A Short Summary About The Movie. However, With A Poster, You Are Not Able To See Much Information. Therefore, The Viewers Will Not Be Able To Know What The Film Is Going To Be About Etc. As A Result, The Audience Will Not Get Attracted Into Watching The Movie. I Would Be Expected To See This Trailer After The Films Rated 15 In The Cinemas. This Is Because, This Trailer Has Scenes Where The Psychopath Can Appear On Screen So Sudden, Therefore, This Will Not Be Suitable For The Younger Audience. Also, I Would Be Expected To See This Trailer After The Watershed (9.00pm) As The Younger Children May Be Watching TV And Would Be Able To Catch A Glimpse Of The Trailer Before Then.

Radio Drama - Little Britain (BBC Radio 7):

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00f5cpl
__________________________________________________________

The Three Texts That I Have Selected Are American Pie (Film), Friends (TV Series) And Little Britain (Radio Drama). Each Text Is Linked To One Another As There All Connected To Comedy. Therefore, The Target Audience Are People Who Are Into Humour. However, Each Text Is Amusing In Different Ways. The Similarities Between The Three Texts Is That They Each Contain Some Sort Of Sexual Reference. This Is What American Pie Includes The Most, For The Movie To Have Become A Success. However, Friends Includes Different Type Of Comedy, Which The Audience Are Able To View Through Specific Characters. This Is Also The Same With Little Britain.

The Three Texts Differ From One Another As “American Pie” Is Aimed At People From The Age Of 15 Onwards. This Is Due To The Inappropriate Images And Language Used In The Film, Which Would Not Be Suitable For The Younger Audience. However, The TV Series “Friends” Is Aimed At People From The Age Of 12 And Onwards. On The Other Hand, The Radio Drama “Little Britain” Is Aimed At Everyone As It Is Presented At 3.30 And 10.30. Therefore, All Age Groups Are Able To Tune In.

P r o m o t i o n . .

American Pie Is Distributed By The UNIVERSAL PICTURES. The Film Was Advertised At The Cinemas, Before The Films That Were Rated 15. This Is Because, The Audience Viewing The Films Rated 15 May Also Have Been Interested In Watching This Movie, Therefore, This Was A Way To Grab A Wider Audience. Moreover, It Was Advertised As Posters And On Internet Pop Ups. American Pie Was Also Advertised On Television, Therefore, The Film Was Very Popular Since A Lot Of People Went To Watch It.

Friends Is Distributed By The Warner Bros Television And Is Promoted Through Television And The Internet. Through Television, It Is Mainly Advertised In The Evening, So The Target Audience Get A Chance To View The Advertisement.

Little Britain Is Produced By BBC. As A Result, It Is Advertised On All BBC Radio Stations. Due To The Fact That There Are A Lot Of BBC Radio Stations, Little Britain Gets Advertised Often Making Certain It Grabs The Audience Attention. The Distributor For Little Britain Is BBC Radio 7. They Have There Own Homepage With Appropriate Details, Such As The Scheduling, As To When The Radio Drama Is Going To Be Played. Moreover, Little Britain Was Also Promoted Through Online Games And Competitions, To Grab More Of The Audience Attention.

Therefore, The One Thing Each Text Has In Common Is That They Were All Promoted Through Sites On The Internet.
