Short Film Research: Foxed/Horror

      Hey, blog! It's me again! Today we are researching another short film named "Foxed" and comparing it to the genre of horror.

 I hope you enjoy it!



Common CAMS in the film 

-Close-ups

-Extreme close-up

-Tracking shot

-POV shot


Common Sound in the Film

-Diegetic sound with the heavy breathing and footsteps

-Non-diegetic sound with music 


Mis-en-scene used in this film

-Dark lighting

-Fast movement

-The setting was dark within the cave


Editing in the film

-Jump cut

-Cutaway

-action match


Elements I enjoyed in the film were the suspense and fear that was built, especially with the lighting and eerie music. The mood it creates really fits the horror genre. 

Elements I didn't enjoy very much were the close-up shots however they serve a very valuable purpose in the storytelling and mood.

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

You sure youâ €™re not a robot?     Lana looks up at her, expression unreadable, then flips her notebook to a blank page and scribbles something. She holds it up:     “Sheâ €™s watching.â €     RILEY   (frowning)   Uhâ €¦ whoâ €™s watching?     Lana points toward the dark hallway leading to the bedrooms. Riley follows her gazeâ €”just darkness.     RILEY   Nice try. You trying to freak me out?     Lana shakes her head, eyes wi...

Critical Reflection for Short Film

  After our film “She’s Here” was released, many questions began to form, one of the questions that stood out to me the most was how our products represented social groups or issues. To begin, the main representation in our film was disability where the kid that the babysitter is taking care of is a mute child. We made this obvious to the audience when the child, Lana, began to write in her daily notebook to communicate with her babysitter. The use of the mute child showed how lack of communication could occur even when you say everything properly, but the tone you say it can have a strong impact on how the person receiving the message interprets the message, which is an entirely different form of “lack of communication”. This can also connect to social issues in life, for instance, the experience the child goes through can sooner or later lead to post-traumatic distress for the child and even the babysitter, affecting the mental health of one another. Along with this, the child be...
