Research Over Shot and Locations

 Hey, I am making up for last week I really thought I would have time to do this but so much came up I was under a lot of pressure and I still am and I understand that's my responsibility so ima make better of my time. But we are here now so I will get straight to it! In this blog I am gonna be researching over how location and Extreme Close up shots could affect a film as I feel those are the best type of Shots to include in a Horror film and I'm going to explain why in the following paragraph, also i am doing Horror as my genre for my opening so I think it would be a nice touch to include something I might use.

We are going to start off with Extreme Close up shots, This is a very good technique especially  in the Horror industry, it gets the audience to really pay attention something specific, for example someone's eye or facial expression it could lead the viewers thinking they are in a shock and they just saw somethings so unbelievable and gives some tension maybe giving the audience a heads up somethings scary is coming up. Extreme close ups also can help hint something important that you the audience hasn't spotted out, so they do a extreme close up to make sure the audience knows exactly what they are talking about, and when films do this it tends to mean its a clue to something that might be coming up later on or revealing a big secret, this type of shot really has countless uses it all just depends how you use it.



Location also tends to be a big part of how the audience might see how the film might be, the location gives off certain vibes for example if you saw a house/cabin in a forest its gonna build more suspense up and give it more of a haunted feeling, for example the movie The Watcher it begins with a girl on a road trip and introduces us to a trail she has to go through which is in a big dark forest, it starts to build some suspense because the audience doesn't know what's in there and are thinking that anything could happen. 


Location could also give happy vibes that connects with the audience emotionally and give more of a heart warming feeling, for example the film Pee-wee's Big adventure which introduces us to this small colorful town with some gentle happy music and it really gives a vibe that nothing could possibly go wrong and that its a place you would be happy in especially with the light colors representing more of happy vibes and peaceful like light blue, yellow, pink, and orange.
