Individual Film Research

by Will Moseling

1408•By watching the film 1408, we learnt

how and were inspired to use flashing effects to signify when a hallucination is happening.

Suicide Club•From watching the trailer of Suicide Club,

we have learnt how to make the audience feel uncomfortable using unnatural and disgusting scenes.

Come Back to Me•From this film, we learnt how to

signify to the audience that the character is having trouble sleeping and be able to connote that he’s going insane in our OTS.

Dorothy• From watching this trailer for the film Dorothy,

we learnt how to create narrative enigmas about characters and how to signify something is wrong with them without giving too much away.

Asylum Blackout

•Asylum Blackout helped us figure out how to exploit primal fears, as well as create a dangerous atmosphere within our OTS.

Silence of the Lambs•Silence of the Lambs helped us come up

with ways to create a disturbing and scary atmosphere by playing with people’s fears.

Event Horizon•The film Event Horizon showed us how

to use hallucinations, when to use them and how to use them to full effect. It also taught us to play on people’s fears to engage them in the OTS.

Memento•Memento showed us how to keep the

audience engaged in a film by keeping them guessing as to what’s going to happen and why it’s happening.

Donnie Darko•This film inspired us to use hallucinations

and visions as the film is based around having visions which force him to do things.
