Women in Black
(2012)
This pre-existing shot is commonly seen in
horror genre, the use of reflection to reveal an
antagonist makes the audience unsure of
whether theyre actually there or not. I was
influence by Women in Black (2012) as this
film using a lot of this idea of filming to make
the audience on edge to whether its in the
protagonist head or not. I wanted to create the
same effect to make the audience question is
it real or not.
Doctor Who
Although this is not a film Doctor Who had a
massive influence on my work. This shot in
particular helped me massively when
incorporating the extreme close up of an eye.
The shot from Doctor Who shows a extreme
close up of an eye and the Time Vortex is
shown within the eye. My show we are shown
the antagonist. The meaning behind this shot
is that the antagonist has got inside his head
and she is everywhere again linking to the idea
taken from Women in Black- the audience is
made to question whether it is all in the
protagonists head. The use of dark lighting is a
common convention throughout the horror
genre and the dilated pupil suggests fear of a
spike in emotions.
