First Example of Horror


Hi blog, today we are going to be talking about this fascinating movie that I watched recently. The movie is called "The Call" directed by Brad Anderson. It was released in 2013. The genre is thriller. I decided to watch this movie because the genre of our movie is thriller as well.
   C.L.A.M.P.S
Costumes
In most thriller movies the clothes tend to be quite on the normal side. On other occasions  if their is violence and blood involved in a movie their may be stained cloths on the actors. This movie was about a kidnapping, therefore the kidnapper was usually wearing sunglasses or a hat, to hide his true identity. Another costume in this movie was police officer uniforms. The victim of the kidnapping was wearing regular, causal clothing.

Lighting: 
The lighting in this movie was different in each scene. For example one scene the car the kidnapper was driving fast to try to get away from the police and the light was bright because it was outside on the road in broad daylight. In another scene the victim is being held in a basement and lighting is very very low.

Actors: 
Most of the movie is actors being very dramatic and trying to build the suspense until the end of the movie. Many of the scenes you don't know whats gonna happen in the end. This is good for these movies because it leaves viewers wanting more. This is what makes them stay until the end of the movie.

Makeup:
In this movie there isn't any need for drastic amounts of makeup needed so therefore therefore its very natural. From time to time special effect makeup is needed for gory, bloody scenes. Makeup artists come in when there filming to make it look as real as possible. For example the victim in the movie got punched in the face and they had to make it appear as if she had a black eye. 

Props:
There were many props in this movie. In the 911 dispatcher scenes they use objects like headsets to show that their communicating with caller. Another props can be weapons. Such as knives or guns.

Setting:
 The setting is the moving is a lot of different places including basements,police stations, car trunks, parking lots, on the road, cars, and many many more. There are so many settings because the kidnapper is always changing locations to not get caught and/or seen.

C.A.M.S
Camera angles: Low angle, eye level, and high angle.

Movements and shots: Pan shot, trunk shot, close up, extreme close up, two shot, and aerial shot.

Common Sound and Editing:
Non-diegetic sound, diegetic sound, dialogue, sound bridge, and sound track.

Elements I like and Don't Like:
The elements I like are the jump scares and the unexpected twists in thriller movies
The elements I don't like is when the ending is predictable, in this movie the ending was kinda predictable.
