Horror still planning

I plan to do a horror still that will focus mainly on a murderer. I have got my friend to play the murderer while I will take the shot, I have planned for him to wear a boiler suit and a gas mask. I have also selected a forest for the shot to be taken in during the midday. Another thing that I will hope to do is reduce the colour to make it seem more dark and sinister.

Harry Potter Marketing

The movie posters can be found on buses around busy cities and cinemas. This movie poster provides a narrative image that the students of Hogwarts aren't kids anymore and that the movie will focus around some serious events.

The front page of the movie magazine Empire is of Harry Potter in an action stance, this makes the movie seem action-packed. Glass surrounds Harry to symbolise how his life is breaking around him, his friends and enemy are also in the glass so it seems like his relationships with his friends are at risk.

The front page of the Harry Potter website provides an insight into what the new movie will be about. It's an action shot of the trio running through the woods so gives the idea that the film will be heart-racing and action-packed.

The toys that are sold promote the fact that the film is out and can appeal to a younger audience who play with action figures.

The trailer of the new film tells the audience a lot about what the film is about but manages to leave the viewer with questions. This is so that it interests the viewer and makes the pay to see the film so that their questions are answered.

The billboard is used to inform a large audiece on the upcoming Harry Potter film. The picture used also suggests a lot of action takes place in the film, almost a war between the two. A billboard is a good way to advertise as large amounts of people will see it no matter their age, gender and opinions on the franchise.

The release of iconic Harry Potter merchandise is used to promote the film.

The sticker book came out free with newspapers so it advertises to a large audience. It promotes the film to people who buy the newspaper but also to children who will want to collect the stickers, also putting money into the franchise.

Worms eyes view

A worms eyes view is used in this scene as to give us a decent view on the action that is happening. It makes the certain actions seem important as it is happening above us, giving the view as if we're looking upwards. It helps create the scale of the event or the object as it towers over us, making it seem important in scale or just generally big in size. In this certain clip it makes the action of kicking the football seem important to the rest of the game.

Crash zoom shot

This is the opening of the film "Snatch" which shows people robbing a business. Crash zoom shots are used during the chaos as they begin to steal jewels. The crash zooms are used to show the confusion from the people around and adds to the drama of the event unfolding. It also helps the audience focus on the characters that are participating in the robbery.

Panning shot

In the scene in Thelma and Louise we see the two girls drive past on an open road. The reason this is done is because it gives the audience the view of someone standing on the road watching the car drive by. It helps gives the idea that they are alone on the open road and how free they are. The fact they are driving at a really fast speed, which is emphasised by the panning shot, also represents how free they are.

Reverse Track Shot

In this scene of "Jaws" we see how the character Brody has realised that someone has been attacked by a shark. By using a reverse track shot the director shows that the character has caught on to what is happening in front of him. It also gives the effect that everything is flying past him slowly but his mind is racing about the event in front of him and what he should do. It also helps give off the look of fear on the characters face.
