Final cut

Comment

Our rough cut was incomplete due to the areas of the building which we were going to film in had been crowded. I thought, for a first draft, it was quite good because of the use of the camerawork and editing. This gave a sense of anticipation and wondering what will happen. However, one of the pieces of camerawork had to be changed, as the suspense was not high enough. This is due to the corridor was shown to be clear, before she looked around the corner to check if it is safe. The sound also heightened this, but not to the standard of which we wanted. Some improvements will be made. The film was originally a bit short, so we will add in the scenes which we wanted to add, but couldn't due to reasons mentioned previously. Also, the scene in which we wanted to change the camera position will be dealt with and we will also include some incidental music for Jabba, to give a sense of the character he is.

History of horror

In The Beginning

Horror Place As A Genre

This is brought to life by key directors like Steven Spielburg's Jaws, John Carpenters Halloween and Ridely Scotts Alien. All of these film critically acclaimed

However film such as The New York Ripper and Tenebre where faced with heavy controversy in the UK with very hostile content and the easy retail of films at the time the worry of a younger generation forming a copycat approach to the new films so coining the phrase "video nasties".

Audience

With a huge range of sub genres horror has a ever changing and varying target audience to the out and out gore fests in hostile and Scream to the mind tingling adventure of Saw and Final Destination.

Analysis of Rosemary's Baby

This scene is 6 minutes 51 seconds long. As the credits appear on the screen, there is an eerie asynchronous sound of a young woman singing. There is then a slow pan over the city tops of New York City. There is then a slow tilt to the busy streets below, ending with a bird's eye view of the houses. The asynchronous sounds end then there appears to be a long shot, with a man in a business suit in the foreground, and a young couple in the background. The young woman, named Rosemary, is in a short white dress, showing she is an embodiment of purity and innocence. The man who stands next to her, who is apparently a husband or lover, is in a blue jacket and yellow trouser suit. He walks with a cane, suggesting that he is of a higher class than his lover and the man who appears in front of him. The man who appears in front of him is a business man, shown by the suit he appears to be wearing. They appear to be in an upper class part of the city, shown by the large fish water fountain and the alcove which they appeared under had a set of gates at the end. There is a slow pan towards the couple walking past the fountain. There is then a high angle of the interior of a large, majestic building, showing they may be wealthy, due to the interior of the building. There is then a tracking shot reversing, which also appears to be on a dolly, of the young couple and the businessman, showing that the business man is a real estate agent, which is also shown through the dialogue, and that these three people are the main focus for this segment. The fact that they are entering a elevator shows that although they may have a lot of money, they aren't rich enough to buy a house.

There is then a shot from the backs of the young couple, showing the real estate agent's face and they back of the man in the elevator. Then they're is a pan from the man in the elevator's face, to his feet. There is then a cross cut between the real estate agent and they young couple, ending back at the real estate agent. There is a close up of Rosemary and then of a letter which the previous tenant wrote, saying, "I can no longer associate myself.", suggesting that she may have been a loner, or in fact that she may have committed suicide. The antique items the previous tenant had in the apartment suggests that she was a refined woman. Also, the herbs suggest she preferred to do her own cooking, suggesting that she was an independent woman.
