Comparing scenes



  • I have chosen these two images of the girls from Sorority row. I have chosen to use these two images because these are stereotypical representations of teenage girls. Innocent girls who you wouldn't expect to then be overwhelmed in a horrific situation. Our film will use similar stereotypical representations of girls, for example, the age of the girls around seventeen years old. Happy girls having a night in not expecting this girly night then to turn into murders and the girls fighting for their lives.
  • Also, the way the the girls are positioned and the scene is very similar to the features used in our film. The girls start off in their home but don't expect the night to turn out how it does. This is the main feature that is going to be used in our film. Our girls in our film will be using this same feature but what will make it more scary is that it is set on the night of Halloween.

  • Our girls then thinking that this mad man may just be getting into the swing of Halloween too much then realise that they need to get out of this situation and quickly.
  • The camera shots used in Sorority row will be similar to the one used in our film also. This is because Sorority row is a chick flick made into a horror, ours is the same. Some of the other films such as paranormal activity and The Hills use the same camera features because they both are horror films. The camera shots used in horror films are mostly long shots, establishing shots, close-up shots and zooms.
  • In our film we will be using long shots to show the killer from a distance to make him seem more of a mad person, making the audience feel intimidated and scared for the girls.
  • Establishing shots will be used in our film to set the scene by also using the misenscene. We will be using establishing shots at the beginning of the scene to show the audience where the film will be set.
  • The misenscene will show the setting and what the audience will see are that these girls are on their own in a big house and the audience will know what to be expecting next but will just be wondering how these girls will becomce under a horrible situation.
  • Close up shots will be showing the reaction from the girls. The close up shot of the killer but not quite close up enough to show his facial expression will make the audience feel consious and won't know what to expect next.
  • Zoom shots on teh otherhand will make the tension rise by seeing the girls crying in fear of the anger on the killers face etc.
