props make up ideas
In the pictures below, the examples show us exactly what we want in terms of our make up for the actual zombies, with blood, bite marks, faint vain on the face, while eye pupils. To be able to do this we must purchase: fake blood, white contact lenses, either a pen or paint for the vain, the scares/bite marks
In the opening of train to Busan there are many different
genre indicators (sci-fi) such as: location it is located within a city being
Seoul South Korea then later changing to the city of Busan, the world is slowly
becoming into an apocalyptic by having the undead and a spreading virus, there
is the main protagonist alongside him he has other helping him referencing his
side kicks and lastly the action between the undead against humanity.
From this opening there are many questions as view to be
asked about the film such as: how did the virus spread, how the infected get
did to the train, where else is safe for humanity, how far away are they from
Busan, who will survive or who will fall, why are people on the train in the
first place.
In the opening for train to Busan we find out a lot of
information such as: we find out that an apocalypse has broken loose and the
infection is slowly spreading around the country, we also find out that in
Busan is a military base and some set their next destination to Busan, we also
find out that the infected has spread to the train our protagonist is located
in.
There is a lot of use of sound within this opening such as
in the beginning there isn’t any sound track but the sound of the civilians
panicking creates this tension that suggest that hell will brake lose, but then
the opening uses a sound track for a chase scene and from this the sound track
creates a much more faster rushed atmosphere to the film and from this it helps
suggest that more bad things are about to happen.
There are a wide range of shots and angles used within the
train to Busan such as: a crash zoom shot with the use of this shot it creates
a lot rush to the film but it also shows the sense of betrayal, there is a lot
of uses of the medium over the shoulder shot leading to a close up of the
characters running with the use of this it creates a faster approach to the
film.
At the start of the film we will have a
person on the phone talking to someone, then intensive music starts playing the
background the camera changes rapidly to a window everything becomes silence we
start hearing foot steps with each step you could hear the wood give way, the
door squeaks open and a man looking down a knife on his right hand he moves his
head up and the woman starts screaming because the man doesn't have any eyes he
starts to charge at her but the camera stays fixed in one location and we see
blood flying across the room and the lady screening in pain and terror
We
will have a blank screen and then it blurs into a phone ringing, the phone go
to voicemail the wife says "hey honey hope your okay haven't hear from you
all day love you lots"... and then it jumps to the man clutching his head
in the corner turning into the zombie with his phone on the floor saying
"one miss call from..." this makes the audience feel intense and
worried because they don't know what just happened or why it happened
Three teens are walking, on the way to the party on the cold
night one of the teens decides to make the group take a short cut but threw a
contaminated zone as the walk through the short cut the stumble across a man
that is struggling by holding his head and is barely walking( what we know is
that is the start of the apocalypse) then teens think it is someone going to
the party as he is dressed in a weird outfit and they try to help them as soon
as they ask any questions the man turns into a zombie and suddenly the teens
are attacked by the man that is now a zombie but before he is questioning and
explain what’s going on but in a struggling manor then the next scene would be
the teens being chased by the zombie and the girl falls over and because both
boys are potential love interest it’s a
competition to win her over but only one of the boys makes it out of the attack
alive, then the opening will end and cut to the title.
- when the area is completely quiet the atmosphere is very spooky giving it a creepy vibe and it also helps indicate our genre choice. especially in the dark.
- the area isn't as populated as most so it is easier to film as we don't haft to wait for people to leave or move out the way and it also means that we wont be disturbing any passerby.
- for chase scenes or jump scares it is very well layed out for us
-for effective shot where we look into the distance and find something moving, can be used alot with this location.
our location for the film within the project truly gave a very chilling vibe to our project with the use of editiing we were able to make the location look even better than planned, with the use of the filter from our camera the location didnt just give a creepy vibe but it gave the film much more mystery to our location and this would link back to the audience by giving more answers but even more questions about our location.
From looking at the sci fi genre i have discovered that the target audience is aimed at 15- 30 this is because from looking at most sci fi films and their age rating it tends to be rated 15 for most films. one other reason that the target audience is 15-30 is because sci fi films help escape reality so it takes away stress from stressful times allowing the viewer to be put in a whole different world that isn't his/her's but then it is also good to see the different possibilities and thoughts on the futuristic technology.
In terms of story line stereo typically sci fi films are
based on the future, space, aliens or some sort of infection spreading like a
zombie virus. Some good examples would be films such as: star wars, world war
z, avatar and star trek. In terms of locations usually sci fi films would be
located in space on a whole new planet in the future, or for films for like
world war z the location usually is in the present time in cities and when
crossing genres with action or fantasy films would be located in cities or well-known
places e.g. new York city. For characters usually each film would have a protagonist
(typical males) and alongside the hero he would have a few sidekicks with a
chance that one of them is also a love interest. In terms of music the sci fi genre usually has a more techno approach to have some of the big senses be very up lifting but to also give the audience a rush or an excited feel to the film.
In the opening to Notting hill there are
many genre indicators that show the film is a rom com such as: the humor tends
to be much more mature, the film shows the scenario between the male and
female, the location had a very urban environment, it showed the romantic side
by showing the bond the two main characters had instantly.
During the opening there were many
questions about the film such as: who are the people, will the film have a
happy ending, will the male and female get to know each other more, what style
will the male approach his love interest.
From this opening we find out that there
was three characters a thief and the love interest and during the opening a man
tried stealing a book but was stopped by the man who worked there, the man had
made jokes and suggestions around the situation before serving the lady
waiting, and lastly we find out that there seems to be some interest with the
male and female due to the fact of their humor to each other.
The opening of notting hill had the use of
no specific sound meaning no music or large use of surroundings and the effect
of this was that the film gave a more realistic view to the love story and this
would relate back to the target audience by rom coms being very relatable to
real life events.
During the opening of the film there was a
lot of use of the over the shoulder shot and two shot to show the characters
are having a conversation, but there are a lot of close ups to show the
importance of some of the characters but also shows dominance from the angles
There are many different target audiences
with romantic comedies from couples to single young adults. In terms of ages
the target audience for rom coms are 20-30 year olds this is because at that
age many things that happen during rom coms are very relatable to real life
events for example finding your first love, meeting new people or getting
married. Meaning it Is targeted at adults, but for genders rom coms are more
targeted at women due to sex appeal and attractive men being apart of the
story.
In terms of storylines the typical scenario
is that a boy meets a girl that he is attracted to, but not forgetting the
story usually can finish in a relationship or a happy ending. Usually there is
sexual content between some of the characters this would also help appeal to
the female side of the target audience. Romantic comedy films are usually set
in urban environments where the chances of the two characters encounter are
high. And lastly the style of the films often is like weddings with flowers and
romantic gestures based for the female character.
