This is the Exorcist opening title we watched in school.

The final film we watched was Dracula which is slightly different from all the rest because it is almost medevil but still a horror never the less. The audience for this film can be for anyone over the age of 15. The music in this film is very loud and powerful it sounds as though it has it has choir singing in it too which helpswith the medevil theme. Dracula repells god which shows the auidence its going to be a religious type of film and its giong to be all about revenge from the beggining.

The third film we had a look at is the texas chain saw massacar this is a total horror film and you see this fromthe word go! the first images you see are of body parts, by the come up so quickly its hard to make out what exactly they are, its almost as if someone is taking a picture of them you get this impression from the sound that goes along with it to. Then it goes to an image of two very decomposed bodies mergered together and in the background you can hear what sounds like a radio broadcast telling you basically what has happened recently in this town. After all this has happened it goes to the credits and the are on a red back ground and red always symbolises death and blood with is very apopriate.

The second film we looked at was Se7en this is a horror/ thriller but after seeing the opening we would say its heading more towards the horror aspect, the only way its a thriller is because it doesnt tell you too much and keeps you guessing throughout. the audience of this film will be people of 15 and over and also people who enjoy being kept guessing. throught the first scene you get and image of a man remenising over his killings or perhaps planning them you can never be to sure in the first scene. The music is very scartchy and powerful and towards the end it get louder and the images get faster which makes it sound and look more sinister. From all this you get the feeling its going to be a twisted film.

Whats the difference between a horror and thriller ?!

The aim of a horror film is there to scare their audience through images and horrific scenes, where as a thriller is there to get the auidence thinking through a good story line. People get confused between these two genres and the difference isnt extremely large but is still there.

The Exorcist
Horror
Religious and psychological
Age would be adults
A young child is being possessed you can tell this by the way the mum is saying she have a fit it wasn't like that and then there wa an image of the child just living there and she had bad eyes that were red and looked sore.
The lighting is dark and the camera is on an angle and the light keeps going on and off. when the titles come on the screen they appear suddenly and its as if they are creeping up I think this shows that it is a thriller one of the title appear behind a curtain whilst the curtain is blowing in the wind also titles appear on each step the camera is going up the stairs as if it from the feet angle the stairs are dark. The titles are shadowed being the first title this was showing that there was going to be something taking over her. The music is of a piano and its changing from a high note to a low note it was a classic horror theme tune. When the mum us talking to the doctor the lighting is bright but then when the priest is talking to the child its dark. The Title Exorcist changes the X changes upside down and turned it to a cross this is to show its (anti-christ) the back writing that shadows it is scribble.

Evaluation on our Preliminary Task.

We planned opening scene to do this we had to look at other ones and what they did then do a story board and a script to know what we were doing we also needed to know the camera shots. once we had planned it we filmed the opening scene and made sure that we followed the storyboard and the script. After we had finished filming we uploaded it onto the computer and edited it so it had a title and the right scenes in order this was to make sure it looked proffesional.
Sophie recorded the opening scene she had to make sure that she did the right camera shots for that scene for her to do that she had to follow the storyboard. Jess, Gwen and Natalie acted.Jess  walked into the room and sat down and Gwen and Natalie were sat opposite Jess then asked Gwen about parents evening and then we finished.
We struck to the time with the storyboard and the script but once we filmed it was hard to keep to the time as we couldnt get the work onto the computer as it was on the teachers computer and couldnt get it on to our computer to edit it. Once we got it onto the computer we edited and we got it done quickly as we had already lost out on time.
We did well with getting the Camera shots done and making sure that it looked well once it was filmed. We also did well with making sure that it was edited and and it looked good and how it is meant to.
If we were to improve it would be to get it done quickly but to a high standard so that when we put it on the computer we have plenty of time to edit it and get the final piece uploaded.
