There were tree branches like filled in outline images that were prioritized in the opening scene. Then there were grass outlined images that were also filled that were prioritized. There were are also blood dripping images. Then there were images of a spider legs but not the body of the spider. The theme colors of the opening sequence were black and red. Also none of the picture were actually like picture but were more like outlines that were filled in and surrounded by either black or red. I do not believe that these images really have a deeper meaning to them. These images in my opinion...

Then images of the stair case is prioritized.  An image of a baby's crib in a room is also shown. The image of the boy was one of the first images shown, and was prioritized probably because he's going to be victim or a main character. Then prioritizing the demon's face reveals who the villain is and that there may be people getting possessed in the movie. The image of their living room with the moving boxes is probably to give the audience an idea...

The first image with the parked cars on the side of the road may symbolize the that the area of neighborhood that will be shown in the film may be a little small and crowded. I assume this because t...

Genre Research: The Boy

Image
This movie had a background story that was established in the beginning of the film. I love the way that the background was established in the beginning of the film through pictures and through dialogue too. In my final task I wanted to establish a background through a photograph like a fake family portrait or just a photo of their parents. I was thinking of establishing the background in pieces so that the audience would be able to piece certain things together to understand what's really going on. But, now I am planning on probably establishing the background in my final tasks this way instead. The setting in this film is a house and this is also one of the locations I am going to film at. Although, the house I film at will not be in an isolated area surrounded by trees. This background music was also an element I'd like to base my final tasks on because of the intensity it added to the movie. The setting is also in a more isolated area as well where you don't really see ...

Genre Research: The Conjuring

This movie has the element of the fear of the unknown. Where a family experiences supernatural terrors after moving into their new home. This an element that I want to include in my final task but it will be more of fear of the unseen because only one sister is going to be able to see and hear the spirit/ghost living in their home. Another element of this movie that I will include in my final task is the background music that also helps make the movie scarier. This movie has a plot than increases in intensity throughout the movie; I want to include this element in my final task. There is also a little background to this movie but the "background story" of this house isn't really mentioned until almost halfway into the movie. I want to incorporate this element in my final task but I want to establish a little of the background within the 2 minute time frame. The setting in this movie is a farmhouse in Rhode Island located in the woods surrounded by trees. One of the locati...

Genre Research: Eli

At the start of the movie "Eli", the setting was at the family's home, but later the setting would change to this secluded medical facility. A majority of the the scenes of this movie was filmed at this medical facility. This medical facility resembled a large old house that had been modernized but was still a little . But this movie only had about two settings and I feel like I am also going to film at only a few settings. In this movie the main character, Eli, stuck out from the other characters in a strange way. In my final task I also want my of my my main characters to stick out from others. This movie had a background story to it but did not show any flashback scenes but instead explained the background details surrounding Eli's condition through dialogue. At first I was thinking of just a like a "prior to" kind of scene in the beginning but I think I am going to develop the idea of the girls parents' bein gone through their dialogue.  Another elem...
