mysterious and climatic because
of the tense music being played,
which suggests the person on the
computer feels nervous or
anxious to what may be
happening.

The mood of the soundtrack is a
complete juxtaposition to the first
clip, as it feels open happy and
atmospheric.
9. Shining
• This is a horror film but edited to make a
happy positive family film the warm
contrasting colours the song had in the
background made it hard to think about
the movie being a horror film by changing
the soundtrack and the editing of the video
or anything it can change
10. Scary Mary
• The genre of the film has been made to make
a tense climatic scary film by having quick
scenes of flashes to scare and to make a
horror film more realistic and dramatic. By
having sharp hard sound in the film it created
a sense of dramatic irony, where the
characters play a not so sensible role in being
rushed to the death. This created scary
thoughts and imagery in the viewers mind to
scare and confuse you as to what's going on.

18. Clip Analysis
The costumes of the characters looked like old robes but it had a sci-fi fantasy touch to the
clothes. The colours of the clothes looked used and wrecked. Giving us knowledge and
curiosity to whether they might be in poverty or rebellious.
The lighting of the clip looked dark and mysterious and it didn’t feel inviting at all, the tone
through out the film looked to be unengaging but the characters had a goal of wanting to
obtain some small pyramid. The characters in the clip didn’t have many props but they were
trying to obtain something of their desire.
The camerawork had different views of how the play progressed; in the fist section of the
clip it started off with a face zoom then slowly zooming out to give us a insight to where
they might be in their location after they allowed us to have a feel for the atmosphere
around them. Then, they cut towards a cave symbolising they might be going to a place to
locate a refugee close by
The music was mellow but as the creatures (spiders) in their environment approached them
the music started to get tense giving a dramatic and emphasised climax to create tension
the the action.
