The 180 shot rule

The 180 degree rule continuity
Image result for the 180 rule

The 180 degree rule is when the camera can only face one way of the two people talking as you can see in the picture the camera cant change to the other side this is because if they did, the audience would be confused and disoriented because it would look like they are talking to each other, the only time the camera can go to the other side is if camera is moving and doesn't cut into the other side of the people talking.

Anticipated Films

Films I anticipated
Films i anticipated is deadpool, Batman vs superman, now you see me, finding dory, Kung fu panda 3 I think these films will be enjoyable and I think these films will go for something different that other normal films dont have, e.g. Deadpool tries to brake the 4th wall by trying to talk to the viewer whos watching.

Saving Private Ryan is very different from the film Fury, Furys two minute scene was calm and with slowly building up to intense when the German riding the house gets killed, But in Saving Private Ryan it starts similar but quickly becomes more intense with the soldiers in the boat getting sick and tightly next to each other which makes this scene intense

Analyzing key moments in 28 weeks later


Analyzing key moments in 28 weeks later


A key moment in the trailer is at 0:40 where Dom leaves his wife to die, the wife is trapped and cant escape, this makes us the viewer think what happens if you were her. The camera shot used is far shot this is effective because it tells us Dom is weak as his wife is powerful in trying to show that she thinks Dom will comeback to get her.

The next shot that is effective is at 1:03 , The shots used are being used is long shot and also close up shot which is also effective because it puts us in Doms shoes when he was running and getting chased by zombies afar which makes us want to know how they look but also feel terrified because we know how dangerous they are.

Target audience of horror films
I think the age group for horror films is 18 to 30 year old this is because people around this age group will be less scared of jump scares and creepy atmosphere will enjoy the horror cliche, but some horror lovers will try to find a horror that doesn't follow the cliche of horror films.
Films horror films might watch: Scream, jeepers creepers, woman in black, the shinning.
People want to watch horror films because they want them to be frightened by the horror film also they want it to affect them in some way so they can keep watching the video.
