Analysis of costumes

Costumes are very important in television and film because it sets a visible image of what the director is thinking and it also presents ideas. Costumes can also engage the audience and draw their attention and get a better upstanding of the character presented.
If the costumes and props are wrong it would mess up the understanding of the story line. It is very important to get the props and costumes right.

Suits can give a professional look towards a character:



Brief cases can strengthen professional look:

synopsis of possible film

We follow Tyrone’s revenge quest into the kidnapping of his wife two children. Tyrone smith lived a typical happy family life when his wife and two children when there were suddenly kidnapped by Arab forces.
The happy family once lived the high life in Applevil both with very successful careers in acting and directing. This high profiled life attracted attention by both the public and media as they were known as positive influences across the world. As well as positive support Tyrone also revived death threats on a weekly basis threatening to kidnap and torture his family. Paying no attention to these letters and phone calls, one day Tyrone was on his way to work when he received a phone calling telling him that his wife and children has just been kidnapped and he must pay a ransom if he wanted the rest of his greater family to live.
The next day Tyrone then receives another package suspiciously wondering what’s inside. He then receives a video tape of his wife getting raped and killings of his two children. To find who done this to his family Tyrone and two of his closest family friends go on a wild killings spree to find out who done this.
Days pass by until the trio get trapped and separated by the Arab forces. As clues all begin to add up and a final killer is exposed one of the trio gets violently tortured and killed. While faith and hope weakens they then get a message from his wife letting us know that she is still alive.

The horror movie that I have chosen to analyses is a movie is called ‘Saw 6’ which was released on October 23 2009. This 11 billion dollar movie was directed by Kevin Greutert and produced by mark burg.
The movie starts off with a black screen with digectic sounds of chains rattling and a strong sound of gushing wind because I have analysed ‘saw 6’ there is already a high expectation level of the movies. The director is trying to create a mis-en-scean from the first parts of the movie by adding these sound effects. After this shot the director shows the next shot which is a title sequence which says ‘Long gate’ which I presume is the production company. In the middle if this shot the audience is shows a red fire which is burning and slowing covering the screen. The fire may represent torture and pain or it might represent hell. Hell is known to religious people as being a place in which you go after life if you didn’t not get into heaven. The audience was also shown that it was burning uncontrollably which may represent that the pain that the torture given out may be uncontrollably.
It then fades away into the next shot which slows the title ‘twisted gate’ with chains and spikes wrapped around it. This might be linked to the first shot that we are shown with the fire and it might be the idea of the torture weapons. Also when we hear these digetic sounds we also thing of prison and the fact that punishment is being informed when you are locked up. As well as the chains we are also shown spikes that are factors of protection or a factor of torture. So I have establishes from these two shots of the movie that the main element of this movie is torture and punishment. The audience would expect this because there is such a high rating and expectation level of the past saw movies.
The movie then fades away and the title sequence of the names of directors and characters that start in ‘saw 6’ are shown. The title ‘gates released’ is shown which could have multipurpose meanings. In religious terms ‘gates released’ could mean that hell is being unravelled meaning that evil is coming out. Or it could have positive connotations by the goodness will over come evil but in this movie I highly dough a positive introduction to this movie.
The main movie starts off with a close up shot of a hairy mans foot. The camera follows the body which is lay down on a bed. The camera tracks this body following the body from feet to head to then reveal the setting and location of the movie. The camera then zooms out to then establish that they are in a hospital. There are various different types of equipment to tell us that we are in a hospital because we are shown the tools that doctors used and the whole mis-en-scean. The camera cuts to then show a close up of a man pushing the door which creates on screen sound of footsteps and opening of the swinging hospital door. We are then shown the close up of the doors title called the morgue.
The doctors are all wearing all the correct operating costumes and then we are shown a close up of the tools that the doctors will be using to operate on the body laid down on the table. The camera then pans to the revels all the equipment that the doctor will be using.

After establishing the setting the director moves into the parts nasty parts gory parts of the movie. Another doctor walks into the room and non digecte sound is exchanged in a conversation about what they are going to do with the body. They then grab a knife and they rip and tare different parts of the body. The director then zooms in on the different pars of the cut up body to make the audience jump and scared.
After this hospital sequence the director establishes the saw theme and then cuts into a very interesting action sequence which the director establishes that two mean are in a dark room with chains round their neck. The sound track changes due to the suspense and mood of the movie changing. The movie then shows close ups of important props that will be used in this scene. Knives, hammers, swords and other dangerous weapons all have close camera shots because they are important in the scene. We are then shown two men that are chained up and one is missing their eyes and another man has his lips sowed together. The director used shot reverse shots to establish the sound that comes each of them.
As the action sequence begins we are then shown a motor that is placed in the middle of the room this is slowly drawing them both together. We are shown a close up on the distance that they are apart from each other and we are also shown a close up that the key that they both need is on each other.
Form this we establish that these characters are being punished for some reason because they are locked up and they can not get free.

Introduction To The Group

We are four AS media students who have come together to create our thriller opening sequence. Our team consists of Kerfi, Adem, Tarric and Ramin. We have chosen our roles based on our strengths which we discovered during the preliminary exercise. The roles we have chosen are:
Ramin – Producer
Tarric – Director
Kerfi – Camera man
Adem – Editor
Despite having allocated roles, we plan to assist each other on areas we find more difficult in order to maximise the quality of our work.
