The Shining At the start of this clip there is a close up point of view shot of the women looking at the pieces of paper. This shot shows me what the woman sees through her eyes, telling me its important.  The camera then cuts to a low angle shot of the women. using this particular shot shows the audience her facial expression better as she looks scared. Also there is medium close up shot, showing some of the background behind the women and all of the women face. The camera suddenly cuts to a long shot of the women looking through the papers. The camera pans right to left, as if someone is coming from behind the wall, making me feel tense and on edge. The camera continues to pan right to left, to show a long shot of the women, however it reveals more of the setting and it makes me feel like someone is sneaking up behind the women. As the camera complete comes out into the open of the setting and not behind the wall, a silhouette of a person comes to view in front of the camera, m

Horror Genre

Horror Genre  Are women’s representations in horror films to satisfy the male audience through the gaze?  Films Item 1:  Nightmare on Elm Street 2010 I have chosen this film because women are represented as vulnerable and weak in this film, also it offers a range of shots and camera angles that stresses the horror genre.

I will talk about how

Exam Question

Compare the attitudes to poverty conveyed in the films you have studied for this topic In the film La Haine poverty is shown in a variety of different way, such as the scene in where Vinz, Said and Hubert arrive in Paris to visit a friend of Said's. As soon as they walk into the building, there is a medium tracking shot of Said as he takes his hat off, this shows his respect towards the upperclass and shows how he is out of his element as back in the projects he would leave his hat on. A pan right is also used to show Said looking around the building looking out of place and dazed. This shows their attitude towards poverty as they seem out of their element in the mise en scene of this house. A low angle shot of Hubert, Vinz and Said is also shown with Said in the front as he is the leader, bringing vinz and hubert together, this makes Said the fraternity.  As Hubert, Vinz and Said approach the door to try and get in, they are immediately locked out, this shows the uppercla
