Prelim Evaluation
Prelim Evaluation
The prelim task was mine and Olivia’s
first encounter of actually making a short film. We had no experience of
actually planning, writing, shooting and editing a film, this was all new to
us. We started off by getting ideas for our film by making a mind map and a
story board, this way we were able to plan shots that we wanted to take. When
we completed our storyboard we decided who we wanted to play our actors and
which props we needed ect.
After our planning we were
able to take out the video camera and start to shoot our film. Me and Olivia
had no experience of shooting a film and had to be shown the basics by our
teacher. We used a tripod to steady our video camera as we had to shoot the
video ourselves and at one point we were both on the screen. We found it very
challenging to get the timing just right when we were both being filmed at the
same time, but it enabled us to widen our videoing skills.
When we had finally finished
videoing all of our shots we put them on to Final Cut to actually make it into
a film, we had also not used this application before and had to be shown the
basics, but after a white we got the hang of it and were away in no time. After
fining the music on You tube we downloaded it and put in into our video. We ha
ten finished our shot film and were able to put it on to You tube.
We worked very hard creating
this short film and we are proud of what e achieved in a short time. If I were
to create another short film o do this again I would spend more time planning
it to make sure we had the exact shots we wanted and so we could write out a
script. This would make us more organized and prepared for our film. Over all
me and Olivia are very proud of out video and we believe that w worked hard to achieve
it.

History Of Horror
Horror is a film genre aimed to scare or shock the audience

are lots of different themes to horror films; Fantasy, supernatural, thriller

created by Georges Melies , The best known being Le Manoir du diable, Another
leading horror film was The Cave of the Unholy One, while Edison Studios

many years. In the 1920’s the horror scene started to come alive as films such
as The hunchback of Notre Dame and The Monster were produced.

During the early period of the 1930s , the American movie
studio Universal Pictures began a very successful Gothic horror film series.
They produced films such as Dracula, Frankenstein and the old dark house, some
of these films mixed sci-fi with Gothic horror, such as The invisible man.
Other Film studios such as MGM followed Universals success by producing Freaks
and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
1950s-1960s
As technology advanced throughout the years and a steam of
productions featured humanity overcoming threats from ‘outside’; aliens and
mutations to people , plans and insects. Movies such a Godzilla were produced,
featuring the effects of nuclear radiation. During the late 1950s , Great
Britain emerged into the production of horror films. The Hammer Films produced
a rang of horror films such as The Curse of Frankenstein and Dracula both
followed by many sequels. Ghosts and monsters still remained a main genre for

reincarnation became popular subjects , films such as Audrey Rose and Alice,
Sweet Alice are example of this theme . The ideas of the 1060s began to
influence horror films as The Hills Have Eyes and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
were produced. Slasher films also became quite popular when John Carpenter

the trend continued throughout the 90s as sequels for Halloween and Child play
ere produced, which met great success. However as the 90s progressed, Slasher
Films were produces in their hundreds and eventually wore itself out as nonstop
gore and blood films were produced. This event saw a rise in Science-Fiction
and Fantasy Horror Films such as The Haunting, Deep Rising and Anaconda. Comic
Horror Films also made it onto the scene as films like Scream and I know what
you did last summer were produced. The 90’s saw a dramatic change in horror
films that effected the 2000s.

films which would smash the box office such as Final Destination and The
Jeepers Creepers series. Video game adaptation movies also became popular such
as Doom and Silent Hill. The zombie genre saw a huge rise after producing I Am Legend,
Zombieland and 28 Days Later , while a large trend of extreme, graphic violence
movies came into the light , including Audition and Wrong turn.

a serious amount as different styles became popular and others decreased in
popularity. This saw genres such as Zombie, Slasher, Sci-fi and Fantasy, which
made Horror Films are what they are today!
