In my free time I looked at clips on ‘youtube’ to help me understand what makes a film effective. I discovered that special camera effects, sound, lighting and atmosphere all help to produce an effective film.
Most of the clips which I looked at were either Horror or Thriller to conform with the theme in which I am looking at. The legendary shower scene from Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" is very good at portraying special sound effects and the lighting is very effective.
The Orphanage is very similar to our sequence in that the setting is a big empty looking house in the countryside and also the fact that there are masked children within each of the films.
I think that The Hallway Scene from The Shining creates a great atmosphere and really gets the audience on edge. I also think that the way the camera is used to get the effective shots it gets is amazing and I really want to be able to create these type of shots in our horror movie.
