This week in media studies we spent the whole lesson watching the first ten minutes of different horror films, the horror films we watched are on the blog below where we have wrote about where the film was set at the beginning, what was happening at the beginning of the film, what we thought was going to happen later on in the film and who we thought was the threat and who we thought was the victim in the first ten minutes of the film.
The point of this task was to find ideas and brainstorm about how we could start our own horror film. All the films we watched were very helpful because they were all psychological kinds of horror films which is helpful because we are doing a start to a psychological horror film. The films we watched were, 1408, Silent Hill, Dark Water and The Sixth Sense.
What we found out with most of the films is that at the end of the ten minutes it usually ended with a cliffhanger, this makes sure that the audience want to keep on watching the film and keep on wondering what is going to happen next, so we need to make sure that we end our beginning of the film on a cliffhanger. The films that we watched were very good at this as after the ten minutes were over we were left wondering what was going to happen to the threat and what was going to happen to the victim and where they were going to go or do next.
We thought that Silent Hill was probably best at creating a cliffhanger as the little girls mum took her back to where she kept on dreaming about which is Silent Hill, we instantly thought knew that both the mum and the daughter were the victims and that something bad was going to happen in Silent Hill later on in the film.
