Point 8_^Reseach films from the genre^

The first film that I would like to talk about is called "Sleepy Hollow".



Basically, the film is talking about:


In the early of United States, a young policeman called "Ichabod Crane" was

sent from New York to the fledgling settlement of Sleepy Hollow to investigate a series of

ghoulish murders.


On his arrival, the town council informs him that the three victims were killed in open ground, and the heads had disappeared taken by a headless ghost that is supposedly responsible. Ichabod was unconvinced of this, but learns more about the ghostly horseman - it is the ghost of a Hessian sent by the British during the revolutionary war, and he was caught by redcoats and decapitated with his own sword. When Ichabod sees the ghost kill one of the town council members, his skepticism evaporates .He discovers that the horseman's ghost has an unholy connection to

Balthus Van Tassel...


In the film briefing, the sound is quite fast. It can show to the audience what will happening in the next, then the audiences will know what will happening before the next part. In the horror films, the audience can't know which character is the kindness person which is the evil person. So sound can help them know the attribute of characters. In this film, sound also make the audience fell frightened .It also can make the character's mood in the film. Is the character fierce,bad,good,kind,helpful...Sound can make the audiences know about this.





The second film that I would like to talk about is called "Insidious: Chapter 2".






Because if I wrote the whole story plot about this story, that would be more than 1000 words at the rest of this blog. Therefore, I would like to make really brief and this film was basically talking about the haunted Lambert family seeks to uncover the mysterious childhood secret that has left them dangerously connected to the spirit world.


What we know about this movie(trailer) is the film can represent the typical type of horror film which is a ghost story.


What we can learn from this movie(trailer) are the basics that we can find in this film such as the scary/suspense soundtracks, something that we can see but we can feel it(ghost can't be seen by most of the people, otherwise scientists will study about it and it isn't surprised people anymore), good transition skills, editing and mise en scene.
