Short film research: A Distorted Doll / Horror

     Hey, blog! I'm back, and today, I will continue my research on short films. I'll be researching short films in the horror genre since that is the genre I will be using for my project.

 I hope you enjoy it!


    In this film, some common CAMS it had to the genre were shot-inverse-shot, POV shot, Tracking shot, and zoom-in. These angles and shots allow the audience to see a representation of the film. It is a part of telling a story and can interact with the audience.

    Some common sounds in this film included; were diegetic sounds, such as screaming, creaking, and heavy breathing. Also included non-diegetic sound, for instance, background music of suspense. This short film also carried sound bridges and voiceovers. 

    Common Mis-en-scene in this film included; dark lighting which sets a certain mood in the audience, bruising on the body which is done with makeup and shows a sign of violence, blood which can inflict fear, and a doll, which was a main prop to tell a story.

    Certain editing such as cross-cutting, cut away, insert, eye-line match, and action match were used in this short film to include many scenes and to also create a suspense feeling in the audience that would make them nervous when watching. 

    Examples of films in the genre include;

-The Boy

- Annabelle 

-Robert

    Elements I enjoy in the genre are the feeling the Mis-en-scene and editing give you because it gets you tense and anxious and the effort of foreshadowing.

    Elements I don't enjoy in the film are some of the shots however they carry a significance value, and the predictability level is high.


That's it for today's blog! Until next time. Karina logging off!
