5. The colour scheme in
this is quite dark colours
because it is meant to
be a Halloween movie
but at the same time it
is made to be a
Christmas movie as
well.
The main character
(Jack Skeleington)
wears the same
Black and white suit
all the way through
the film except
when he is
pretending to be
Sandy claws
because he is in a
Santa Clause suit at
that point.
This is set in a town
called Halloween
town.
It is well lighted
and it was
quite a bit dark
at sometimes.
The framing is
good but it is a bit
wide at some
points.
The actor Chris
Sarandon plays Jack
Skeleington so well.

6. The colours suggest
that this movie is a
horror seeing as it
has red, grey and
black.
The hook is
symbolized death,
blood and murder.
There are no
costumes on the
poster but they are
a Fox, Bear, Bunny
and a chicken.
It is set in a restraunt
called Fazbear’s
Fright but the original
restraunt in real life is
called chucky cheese.
The lighting for this
movie is quite dark
but it has a few lights
that lights it up time
to time.
The framing is slim
but you can see
everything you
need to see.
The models are the
animatronics that are
taking kids and the
actor is a guy called
Purple guy.

7. The black colour
represents the dark deaths
in the game because you
can make everyone die off
1 by 1 or you can save
everyone except 2 people.
The props are the hour
glass symbolizing how
much time they have
until they all die, the
house symbolizing the
place where they could
die.
The costumes are wintery
because it is winter. The location is a house
in the middle of no-
where and they go out
to see what they can
find but they found
something far more
terrifying.
The lighting is quite dark
but has a few lights just
like “The bite of ‘87” and
it has better lighting
inside the house because
it is the safest place…. Or
so you think. The framing is wide so
you can see all your
surroundings and when
you do quick time
events the framing gets
slimmer acting like a
timer.
The actors are Hayden
Panettiere, Rami Alek, Brett
Dalton, Meaghan Martin,
Galadriel Stineman, Noah
Fleiss, Nichole Bloom and
Jordan Fisher.
