Film Techniques

Film Techinques

In todays lesson, me and my partner did some research on horror film techniques and looked at how existing horror films use different camera shits and methods of creating a tense atmosphere. We looked at behind the scenes for films such as: The Boy, The Conjuring and don't Breath. We looked at how the director used camera angles and shots to give audience a false sense of security, which the directors used to their advantage to scare the audience even more with techniques such as jump scares when the atmosphere is supposedly calm and quiet.

The behind the scenes also showed us the type of special effects that they used in filming. Although we can't use special effects, especially at the level of professional film makers, it gave us an educated insight into how we could try and alter our film to adjust our limited resources. This allowed us to us to use what he had as we knew we couldn't match modern special effects, such as picking a location that meant we didn't have to change the back ground while editing
