Assessment 3: Research of target audience and gender
When looking into target audience I decided to see how the BBFC classifies 15 and 18 films to see which would be most suitable. I found out the following:
The age rating of 15 would allow us to use no discrimination drug usage but no to encourage drug misuse. Use strong threat. Hanging can be used without details and easily gained weapons should not be glamorized. Language such as “fuck” for example the strongest term used is “Cunt” aggressive terms and language is likely to be unacceptable, depending how it is used, language such as this may be needed in a sequence, but not enough to overshadow/dominate the scene. Dangerous behaviour should not dwell on detail which could be copied.
Nudity is allowed but not in great detail or in a non-sexual context. Sex can be used just not in great detail, Violence can be used strongly but strong gory images are likely to be inacceptable also sexualised violence is unacceptable.
1890’s -1920’s first horror films made around this time; in fact the first horror film that was credited with the genre was le manoir du diable (the house of the devil) which was made in 1896. A more popular film character which was invented in the 1910’s (often mistaken to be invented by Americans) is none other than Frankenstein.
1930’s – 1940’s Was when film companies most notably Americans, popularized the horror genre, with very successful features such as Dracula and Frankenstein. Also the wolf man which came out in 1941, although not the first wolf film, it was the most influential, so influential in fact that a remake of the film will be released this year(2010).
1950’s-1960’s
the tone of horror films shifted from the gothic towards concerns that some saw as being more relevant to the late-Century audience. The horror film was seen to fall into three sub-genres: the horror-of-personality film, the horror-of-Armageddon film and the horror-of-the-demonic film.
Films such as rosemary’s baby, peeping Tom and invasion of the body snatchers. Science fiction was very popular with film makers, and its audiences; with aliens being the most popular antagonist.
1970’s-1980’s
The occult ( knowledge of the hidden) which was a popular subject in the 60’s, henceforth films such as the exorcist, ridley Scotts sci fi horror ALIEN and the omen. Films such as the Texas chainsaw massacre, Friday the 13th and Halloween proved to be popular, and started of the ‘slasher genre, which was basically about a person/creature brutally murdering people. Also in the 1970s, horror author Stephen King debuted on the film scene as many of his books were adapted for the screen, beginning with Brian DePalma's adaptation of King's first published novel, Carrie (1976), which was nominated for Academy Awards.
1990’s- 2000’s
The trend of creating horror films has seemed to have dried up; with many horror films coming out in the modern era remade or ‘re-imagine. Films such as scream and the financial success of SAW is tempting directors and film makers to come and create another horror franchise.

Assessement 2: Analysis of an opening sequence (Saw 2)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIhQ5IrxSPc
In the opening sequence, we're in darkness until a light bulb comes on, which gets quite bright (establishing shot). When the light bulb comes on, we hear a digetic sound, someone breathing; their breathing is loud- which suggests that they're in trouble. The camera then goes into a tilt/pan shot, moving from the light bulb, then into a ventilator, and then to a wall, the breathing is getting louder. As the camera keeps moving, non-digetic sound is used, wind like sound- with a touch of synthesized music that you can just about hear. The camera's movement then comes to a halt- were we see as the audience would assume-the victim who is making the digetic breathing sounds. The camera uses the mirror to look at the victim indirectly, here we see lots of blood around his right eye, his mouth suddenly widens as soon as he sees this, with his left eyebrow risen (a bit like the rocks). He the victim, checks his face by touching it, just to check he was not imagining what he was seeing. The camera then zooms out, giving a long shot; the shot shows us the room and the victim on a chair, which has something strapped around him. The camera then zooms in and gives a bird’s eye view of the victim; the victim who we can now see his face and body, screams for help. We then see 'cut-away action by seeing several shots of his face, yelling for help, to which the camera then zooms in to a mask with spikes in, with a touch of non digetic sound, which as well as the apparent spikes, suggests danger/death. The camera then zooms out, showing the victim on his feet, looking dazed and confused. Cross cutting is then used for when the television comes on, which shows the 'infamous jigsaw killer' (who kidnaps people and places them in traps, in order to appreciate life) the cross cut then goes back to the victim (or as we find out Michael) who stares at the television. A medium close up is used to show the victim breathing heavily and sweating, whilst listening to the 'jigsaw killer. The jigsaws words stagger Michael when he refers him as a ''snitch, unworthy of the body you possess'' the camera keeps cross cutting between the two, were jigsaw tells him in order to save himself from the 'Venus fly trapper like mask, he must remove his right eye in order to get the key, which is on a timer (it shows you an x-ray of his skull and were the key is). The camera zooms in on the timer, which starts ticking. This then shows you several cut a ways, of him attempting to get the key, the timer and the x ray, with non digetic sound played and getting more paced as the timer ticks. The timer runs out, which consequently means that the mask will shut, does and kills him.
