Week 2 - Task 4

-
Task 4 (30 mins) Write a  300 word analysis  of how the following  themes and sub-texts  are raised in the film (with examples of scenes that do so) - what is the film trying to say, particularly through its ending? a) Teen Punishment  b) Gender & Sexuality c) Yonic & Phallic Imagery Punishment is depicted very explicitly in the film. The most significant example of this is when the Athlete and the Slut are about to have sex and then they’re attacked by the antagonists. In this example, the film is trying to warn teenagers from participating in pre-marital sex as it is considered a sin in several religions and is form of giving yourself away spiritually as well as physically.  Gender & Sexuality  In the film the men are shown to take the lead initially but the female character begins to adopt masculine traits. In the first attack on the Athlete and the Slut, the Athlete takes on the stereotypical role of the ‘hero’ by defending the Slu...

12 ICONS OF HORROR

RELIGIOUS SYMBOLS Religion is a significant theme in sub  genres of horror. Movies such as, The Exorcist, Insidious, Drag me to Hell, The Conjuring and Sinister all have symbols of religion that appear frequently in them. For example; crucifixes, churches, priests or an item of religious clothing. LIGHT Light in the horror genre represents hope or escape. At times it may even symbolise death. An example is  sunlight, which makes people feel at ease and at peace. Sunlight is usually seen at the beginning of horror films to show the audience that the characters so far have no problems or are in any danger. Although, this analysis can be sometimes wrong. For example, if the movies antagonist decides to attack the characters in daylight. This is seen in the Night of the Living Dead, as they are attacked by a zombie at the graveyard in daylight. Night of the Living Dead - Graveyard Scene WEAPONS Weapons in horror movies usually have ph...

Media Language

-
Media Language refers to the language and codes of the film. Media language covers, sound, Mise-en-scene and semiotics. In terms of horror films, they use codes and conventions to identify them. I will be using my summer trailer, The Unbroken, to discuss the theories of media  language. Like with written and audio codes, we included in our summer trailer, a sound track with sound effects. For example the sound effect of the footsteps and heavy breathing connotes fear and creates fear tension for the audience. The title slates come in with the loud music adding to the tense atmosphere. Semiotics is the study of signs, and is used for the meaning of codes. We included teenagers in our trailer to present to the audience teen. Horror films can also use semiotics by the way it uses its characters in the film and how the narrative can tell you about those characters. In my summer trailer there are a group of teenage boys talking about sex and girls telling the audience that they were...
