MOOD BOARD

• Camera angles- To see the protagonists reaction we stereotypically see an extreme close up and close up shot. However, to see more than one character in a scene we

usually see an establishing shot, medium shot, long shot and two shot. To create more drama we often see an over the shoulder shot. To show where the setting is we usually see a birds eye shot or also known as an aerial shot. So we know who the protagonist or another character is talking to a point of view shot is often used. A high angle shot

makes a certain character look smaller whereas, a low angle makes a certain character look taller. To follow a certain character or to make them look a certain way

we usually see a pan, track and zoom angle being used. • Props- blood and weapons including knifes.

• Setting- a house or the woods. These are stereotypical horror settings often in dark places.

• Lighting- low key. • Characters- the victim stereotypically a young innocent girl and the murderer is a

creepy, lonely miserable man or woman. • Types of horror- slasher and supernatural.

• Costumes- The victim usually dressed in casual clothes whereas, the killer is dressed in dark clothes to hide their identity and to put off the audience with who they are by

hiding their face, figure and their gender with big baggy clothes.

HORROR

• Camera angles- Aerial shot to see where the movie is being filmed, this angle is often seen at the beginning of a rom-com. Other angles include close up and extreme close up to see who is talking and to see the protagonists reaction. Also, to see more than one character

ROMANTIC COMEDY

certain scenes we often see an establishing shot, medium shot and a two shot. To show who the protagonist or another character is talking to or

is seeing we usually see a point of view shot. Also, if a dramatic scene is happening we sometimes see an over the shoulder shot. Furthermore, some other angles include high angle to make a certain character look smaller, a low angle to make a certain character look taller, a reaction

shot to catch a characters reaction and a track and crane shot to catch a scene if someone is moving.
