My favourite pitch and the role i would like to do.

I really liked Ellie's idea. pitch number 12.  As it was not like an typical vampire film, it is unique with a interesting idea of using chocolates instead of fangs to poison the victims, she has a very strong story line, and personally i think i'm the kind of person that would enjoy this kind of movie if it was made. She's also given it a mysterious concept throughout the whole story.

I also liked Palwasha's pitch. as she had very strong vampire conventions that we should have in an horror movie such as; red eyes.Her idea was also very good, and interesting, due to the setting of her story- a mental institution. Not many vampire movies are based in places like this, its not typical like a club, or forest.

ROLES:
The roles i'd prefer is one of the characters-acting. As i think I'm a confident person and would perform well in this task.And also a role behind the camera, I'm aware of different camera angles, i would also like to be co-producer as i'm organised and good at getting everything together, that is needed for the task we are doing. such as props being used or people needed.

analysis of opening scene-Blade

The opening scene begins with a fast moving city, with the names of actors,directors,and film appearing and fading on the screen.The names are written in the colour red which signifiers danger and blood.   The fast non-degetic music playing makes the scene look more later, then it is.  we then see a close up shot of the two main characters in a car, at this point the camera is also showing speed in the scene as everything in the background is unforcued. The lowkie lighting shows us the genre is either thriller or horror. When they walk through the room of the dead humans hanging down, it ideologies vampires, as the bodies were used by vampires to feed on, or for the needs of vampires. The only other thing this is done to his dead meats such as lamb, to forfiul our needs.The whole time the scene is fast moving, with loud non-degetic music.we can tell the man in the opening scene is an human as when he walks his way past the dead bodies he asks ' what is that?' with a shocked and confused facial expression. This suggests that the me doesn't know of anything that is happening. He is just going with what the mysterious looking girl is telling him. They then enter a club, which is an ideologies of an vampire, as many vampire films include clubs and parties, to hunt their preys. This is where the scene is slowed down to slow motion however the loud music is still playing in the back round. We see another mysterious girl in this shot many times, which makes the audience wonder who she is. The low lighting, gives it a dark, cold feeling.The scene then continues with the shower of blood pouring from the selling, this gives us an idea that if this was to be a normal human club, we would expect it to be water pouring from the ceiling, and this soon suggest that these people are vampires. This also makes us think back to the bodies of drained human we saw at the very beginning, we can now concluded that the blood has come from all those bodies. As everyone is enjoying we see the men looking all disgusted   and confused, which makes the vampires realise he's not one of them, and they all reach for him to take a bite. The music finally slightly turns down, and the men falls onto the floor in front of another man who looks quite mysterious as we only see his face, this makes the audience eager to know who he is and what he's going to do, as all the vampires have stopped dancing and look terrified. The camera slowly goes up, this is where we see the mans bodies, all armed and dressed in black. we can tell the vampires are all scared as they move back, the scene again lifts up speed. we see the fight between vampires and the vampire hunter, this makes the audience realise why everyone was moving back. When the vampires get shot, they would turn into littler pieces and fly everywhere, this gave it a supernatural feel to the one scene.

The Hunger and the conventions of a horror movie.

The conventions we usually expect to see in a horror movies are things such as; darkness, halloween, sleepover parties, murders, blood, knifes and something thats supernatural.
 Media shows the convention of 'darkness' by having low dull lightings to give the atmosphere and cold and empty feel. They use props such as fake blood, and knifes to imply the scene of a murder.

Horror/triller vampire movies, the conventions we see crosses- religion ( projects from the evil)
capes, fangs, locations such as; the forest. seeing these in a scene, would automatically imply to the audience that this is an vampire movie.

The conventions used in this movies opening scene tells us that this is a vampire movies. we see a cross which is crafted in a shape of fangs to kill its victims. And as the men in the club brings his jacket up in a way which looks like bat wings, it suggest to us that he may be the vampire.

The orphanage

The opening scene has a slow start,as we see the three main characters adopting a child at an happy, cheerful orphange.The childlike innocene and the horror genre gives it an contrast, and makes the movies more intereting.However the opening sign doesnt play a massive role to show that it has horror conventions, because the opening is very slow. The opening sequence is very laid back and relaxed, as the movies slowly starts to reval its genre, because of the mysterious house.There are cuts and edits made in opening scene,as well as contious shot.This gives a flow to the film, as theres isnt any jump cuts and mixed pictures.
