In this clip you see a group of survivors who think they are safe but when attacked not sure what to do.

The genre is clearly horror and sci-fi. Although again the genre isn’t the same it is a possible way i could shoot my film.

The mise-en-scene is important is quite important in this clip as everything looks to be basic and no electronics. It can be broken down in to: props, costume, and body language. The props in this clip are just basic things that most people have in a house food, chairs ect. The fact there is lit candles rather than lamps and other electric devices suggest that there is no electricity so it could be mid stage in the events. This adds a weird feel to the film as electricity has became an everyday thing you need, this makes the audience feel like it would be strange to go to a time like that.

The costumes used in the clip are very casual style clothing. This suggests they aren’t well prepared in case of an attack from anything, it also suggests that they left most clothe behind. This makes the audience think that they are more than likely going to get attack and possibly killed. The body language is also important as it is quite arrogant and cocky, as if to say we won’t get attack and if we do we’ll survive. This suggests to the audience that they will surely die.

The camera angles used are mainly close ups and medium shots. This was done so that each of the characters could be introduced and make you feel sorry for them. The audience relates to the characters through these shots as you can see what kind of person they are. The close ups mainly focus on facial expressions. This allows the audience to feel more like they are in the room with them.

The film stock is a digital recording which is strange way to film but it works for this film as it gives a strange tone and effect. This makes it seem like it was done for artistic choice as it makes it look like everything is infected including the air. The lighting is high key and this helps to create this overly flushed tone which makes everything seem infected. Also the light being overly flushed suggests that they don’t leave the house much. This makes the audience wonder why they don’t and what is so bad.
So therefore in conclusion even though it isn’t the same genre it has given me some ideas for shooting my film in a good way without needing to much money.
