Captive
Captive
Blood and gore and Horror, i think this is appropriate for
the target audience of 15 and older for this film maybe in the range of 15 to
25 but the piece can come across a bit trailer like with fast pace, flash backs
and the title at end.
The title work nicely they are small and simple not
distracting from the enigma and narrative being created.
Eery sounds add to the ambiance of the scenes setting up the
genre along with image that you see.
Camera is very steady and of good quality, the use of close
up and extreme close up allow us to see the build up of fear for the character
as the realization is on his face of not knowing what is going on and with
limbs being tied to the chair.
Mise en Scene helps the scene greatly, the blood and make up
on the character is believable and adds to the enigma of what happened to him,
the props of ropes and chair add to the captivity aspect and this abandoned
building is such a good setting.
The editing is well done cutting to different camera angel
types such as POV and the CCTV cameras making the video more interesting.
Overall I would give this film opening a 58 out of 60 so a
Level 4 because some parts didn't make sense like with the female
"evil" character having a doll or what her relevance even was also
the opening sequence came across as a bit like a trailer with how fast it moved
and with the title being at the end of all the action compared to say when the
character woke up.
Resurgence
The opening of the piece is good having just the black screen with the titles coming up makes the audience feel the tension building up the first shot which is a major event. I would feel the target audience would be 15 and above because as the radio presenter says the story entails a murderer and execution and other more adult things that younger children might not be accustom to. Having the titles come up in simple white on black text get them across in a good order and timing but don't distract the reader from the radio broadcast that is setting up the narrative of the film. This way of showing titles has been used in many Thriller/Horror films before and it is clear that the makers of these people were copying this way of showing the opening sequence. The use of Mise en Scene is to the makers advantage in this opening, the characters all have costumes appropriate to the scene and time period and the electric chair looks realistic and the props surrounding it like a sponge that would have been used to put on the head of the soon to be executed. Editing made the sepia tone that made the scene look more old time making it look like the dusty setting of 1940's Texas, along with the sound of the buzzing electric generator in the back ground adding to the reminder that this whole scene is leading up the the release of that energy. There were a variety of shots going all around the scene making the watcher aware of everything but some shots were not need like the shot of the guard after tying down the prisoner, this guard adds nothing to the story because one he is silent throughout and two he has no facial expression, if he had showed distress at what was happening around him the shot could be justified. after the title comes up at the end of the big build up top the electrocution ( which by the way makes the whole thing seem a bit trailer-ish) I feel the next shot should be back on the murderer and follow him making his kills leading up to him then becoming imprisoned and the watcher being back at the execution but instead we have somehow traveled forward in time and the murder is now a bar man. This completely throws away all the enigma and narrative created surrounding the murderer and what he has done and now it is an entirely new story, this ruins everything before.
Overall I think this film should be given a low lever 4, maybe 50 marks because the shots were a bit repetitive, the story is thrown away after the execution and some shots were not needed but they did include all the technical skills in the G321 marks scheme.
One from Class...
Roses are Red
An interesting use of camera work to show all the titles, the quality of the camera could be better and it could be less shaky also the stops so obviously put in by the edit take away from the flow of the moving camera they are trying create by following the character around the room also some shots are out of focus some camerawork isn't as good as it could've been. The use of Mise en scene to show that the story is about a teen relationship sets the genre up also and the target audience, a teen romance for teens to watch. They tried to make shots flow by trying to put them at the same angle but this didn't work because the jumpiness of the shot being out compared to the last is very clear, and then there are frames at the bottom and top of the video for some shots and not for others this makes the watcher feel less immersed.
I would give this a Level 3 maybe 40 marks.
