The Silencer Film Analysis

Improved Essays
1.) During the time I was in cultural media class I really liked the horror genre. I have never watched Horror movies in my life and for the first time watching the films in class it thrilled me. For example, when we watch the movie the silencer I thought that movie was going to be too scary for me to watch. I wanted to step outside but I didn’t I because for the movie brought my attention even thought it was horror film I thought that it would be a great experience. And it was, through the movie The Silencer ever time Billy the doll did any movement such as moving spots or moving his eyes it gave me chills. The reason I said I liked horror even though I’m not very familiar with it until this point was because I really like the feeling …show more content…
This I think it is important because this set a scary tone in the film what I also have seen that make horror films good is the setting. The setting when watching a horror film it bring it to life you are more in to the movie when watching it because you see this spooky setting. For example, in the movie “The silencer” when he’s at the grave yard they and not only is it a grave yard but its ark fogy and no one’s around. It makes you scared something is going to pop out or something is going to die. Another example is every time Billy moved and the producers gave a great sound track that it would just give you the chilies. Also another thing they do in horror films to make it so effective is the camera angels and camera shorts they could be filming one thing so you can be so concentrated in it and then suddenly they change it with a sound track, for example When ne of Mary Shaw’s victims was about to die or about to see her they would focus the camera on the person. After they point the camera to the setting which they give you the character’s point of view as if you were …show more content…
And science fiction because not only what in the movie not real but it is more entertaining. My top five movies would be: Jurassic World, Transformers: age of extinction, harry potter, Fast and Furious 7, and Narnia. Something that all these movies have in common is that nothing I real all of it fiction. Juristic World is right now one of my favorites because this movie has action. For example, when the dinosaur just escapes out of its cage and the intelligence they gave him gave it a really big part in the film. Another thing is the camera footage and the dinosaurs that looked very realistic the camera helped a lot that made everything more realistic. Transformers: the age of extinction was also one of my favorites of all of them I really liked it because when every time in the film when they fight he camera angels they put are great, and they could ever put it in slow motion with give you this feeling towards the movie. Harry Potter the first movie that ever came out I thought of it as fun it took you to a magical world. One of the things I oved about this movie was the school and the town when you entered they gave you footage of all the places around, everyone doing magic and it looked realistic even though it wasn’t. Fast and Furious is probably always going to be one of my favorites their fights are always realistic which I love. Another thing that I love about this movie is the action

    Music and angles are a very key point in films of all kinds. This particular film Psycho, directed by Alfred Hitchcock is a prime example of the importance of camera angles and movies. Director Hitchcock himself said that “33% of the effect of Psycho was due to the music.” That is just the music alone, add in the camera angles and it makes up the majority of the movies suspense!

    When you think about a horror film, usually there is a lot of blood and gore involved but this film stayed away from the norm and took more of a realistic approach. There were no special effects to try and scare the viewers or anything of that nature. The director used real life events that could occur to grab the attention of the audience in a creepy way. There were a lot of dark undertones used as well as spooky sounds and an eerie soundtrack. In looking at the cinematography, there was a lot of fading in and out of the camera to exaggerate the horror in the film. Also, the faded colors added to the depiction of the time the film was made and gave the viewers a sense of what things were like in that time. Even with a $3.2 million budget, the film made over $30 million in the US alone without all the special effects like most horror films and was able to portray that same…

    High Noon Film Analysis

    Both the film, High Noon, and the story, “The Most Dangerous Game,” share a very similar setting that affects the course of the stories. “Near a landmark of some kind-a tree or an outcropping of a rock-a man on a horseback awaits”(Foreman 288). This quote is trying to demonstrate how the closest object, feature of a landmark or town of Hadleyville is a tree, which goes to show how detached from society the setting of High Noon is. “His eyes made out the shadowy outlines of a palatial chateau: it was set on a high bluff, and on three sides of it cliffs dived down to where the sea licked greedy lips in the shadows,”(Connell 7). This quote, which is talking about the short story, “The Most Dangerous Game,” is saying that there is one chateau,…

    “Horror stories are designed to make our pulses race and our skin tingle” ( pg. 90). Horror stories are made so people can get out of their comfort zone and experience something they wouldn't want to in life through a movie, book and plays. Horror stories come with a lot of different types of suspense and how the author or the director try to create suspense. A couple of ways they do that is foreshadowing, withholding the information from the reader, making characters choose between two different actions and a reversal of personality between characters. Horror films wouldn’t be scary if there wasn’t any suspense because that's what creates all the hype in the movies.…

    One of modern society’s favourite pastimes is watching and comparing films. Films have the ability to make us laugh, cry, or even think while touching our hearts no matter what the genre is. Contemporary media genres have dramatically changed since classical literary times, which divided theatrical and literature into groups of drama and comedy, giving birth to genres. Films have become difficult to place into a specific genre, as “any theme may appear in any genre” (Chandler 1997, p. 1) resulting in genres blending continuously. For example, a Science Fiction (Sci-Fi) film is classified in that genre due to its situational context and fundamental plot, though, Sci-Fi films may also be categorised into genres such as horror (Aliens), comedy…

    “Music in a horror film, …participates crucially in the creation of the film’s meaning, and so close attention to the score with both the eye and the ear will generate readings of the film that do not emerge when considering only the visual and cinematographic.” (Lerner, 2010)…

    At first, it appeared to them to be not be a well-put together film but it had to be remembered that it was early film with early uses of sound. After realizing this the quality of the film was outstanding for this time of production. Reviewers of the film were very impressed with the use of sound, which was a new concept during this period. One reviewer, James Berardinelli, applauded its use when saying, “His use of sound – various thuds, nags, and assorted odd noises – pushed the envelope of the time and must have been exceptionally effective during the early “talkie” era…” (Berardinelli). As one can see, the sound was exceptional through the film, making for an unforgettable horror film. In addition reviewers of the film thought the cast did an amazing job at portraying true horror. Boris Karloff did a tremendous job in his role as Frankenstein giving off a creepy and evil yet misunderstood vibe. One who has reviewed the film would recommend all people see it as it a milestone for horror. This is where special effect sounds were introduced to entice horror in viewers. Without the film Frankenstein, movies wouldn’t be the same today reviewers claim. It is a definite must see for those interests I older films and origins or making of early horror…

    What aspect of horror makes it such a popular genre of story and film? Are the large viewing crowds attracted to mysterious plots or maybe the bloody special effects? Or is there an ultimately deeper reason for the intrigue? In Stephen King’s article, “Why We Crave Horror Movies” he accurately asserts that it is the fear-facing elements, the establishment of normality or safety, and the peculiarly evil sense of satisfaction that is derived from horror that humans crave.…

    During the mid 1970s and into the early 1980’s, feminists critiqued ideologies and the system of beliefs in the patriarchal society. Feminist filmmaking became key to portraying fairer representations of women in film denied to them in Early Hollywood, whilst also using experimental techniques to give authorial voice to women filmmakers. Marleen Gorris’s Dutch film ‘A Question of Silence’ (1982), is considered one of the fundamental films in early feminist filmmaking. The film follows Janine, a physiatrist, and her journey to discover why three women (Andrea, Annie and Christine) murder a male shopkeeper. Janine realises in the end of the film that the three are not guilty…
