In Fear-British

In Fear

The genre is horror, this is communicated very quickly by the title sequence, but also by the location it immediately starts in, an eerie, dark woods. Mystery is also introduced by the characters phone message, but also by the mystery of the scene where she is on the toilet and the writing around the cubicle is scratched into the wall, and as she looks one way we see an eye through a peeping whole, we know she is being watched.

The production context is British, we know this because the entire story is set and filmed in England. The character's are also all from England, and the dialogue they use is mostly in a british context, with the traditional slang and bad language that we use.

The stars involved are Iain De Caestecker who plays Tom, he also appears in many other british titles such as Corronation Street and Filth. The Character Lucy, played by Alice Englert, is also an actor who appeared in the British Movie Ginger & Rosa. As they are English characters, the english audience can understand them more, which is where the target audience lies.

The narrative relates to the production context in that the characters are on holiday in the woods, this is very common in many british films, using the landscapes we have.

The technology used is mainly the effects and props used to make the blood, injury's and broken down car's, because a British context has less money involved to create the technology or props and less technology, because the context is less advanced than hollywood.

Rise of the Zombie-Bollywood

Rise of the Zombie

The genre for this movie is communicated through the music, colour and the story. We are first presented with a clear genre as the movie begins in a dark woodland area, where horror’s typically take place. The colour is mostly dark black with a bright glow from behind the trees, suggesting mystery to both the story, character and the location he his in. The title sequence also portrays the genre through the text font, colour and the design. The design of the title is a blood red with a black background.

The stars included Luke Kenny, a famous actor and director in Bollywood, he has also worked on: Rock On!! and Bombay Boys. He was used in this movie because it is a Bollywood orientated film, more people from his country and company context will recognise him, so the movie will have a larger gathering, because of his own followers.

The production context relates directly to Bollywood because of how it is financed, the amount of money that has gone in to it as a poduction. The project was run on a budget of $500,000, which is a smaller budget than most Bollywood films, but this movie did only require two very minor locations, and very little actors or SFX.

The only effect's involved were the ones that were used to create the gore, so his scabby arm, and the brutally mutilated bodies.

The technology used also relates to Bollywood in how its country is less advanced then Hollywood movies, this is why we don't see any CGI. As this is much more technically advanced.

World War Z-Hollywood

World War Z

The genre is communicated very quickly right from the start, we see the title sequence, the font for which is large and pans slowly towards the camera. The colour is blood red with a completely black background. Once introduced to the story, jump scares also begin with the action scenes, for example as the police man talks to Brad Pritt through the window of the car, we are surprised by the police mans death when a truck suddenly rolls by, crushing him. The music through out the title scene is also very tense, and this builds up through out, with great suspense.

The production for this movie is Hollywood. This is because of the stars involved, for example Brad Pitt, the amount of money involved, to pay for the technology, amount of actors, and sets, the technology used also relates to the context Hollywood, because the more developed the country, the better its CGI, and other computer technology would be. The fact that this movie begins in America, is also part of the context: Hollywood.

Brad Pitt stars as the main character, as he is a very popular actor from Hollywood, more people who like his acting skill will want to go see the movie. He has a large audience of followers, so more people will want to watch the movie. More people can also recognize themselves with a more familiar actor. Because of his great acting skill he also plays the part perfectly.

This movie uses CGI to create the zombies in the movie, the quality i to a very high standard, because of the production value, and the context of the production. When compared to other movie's for example a British context movie, the quality of the technology is not as great because there is less money involved.  For example this scene from Severance, a British context film, uses a CGI moment, but it looks less real than the zombies in World War Z.

The Mis en scene for World War Z, uses connotation to create the effect that Brad Pitt is acting as savior to the world, and will deliver it from evil. They compare him to Jesus through imagery such as the scene in which he say's: "were going to Jerusalem", and as he says this he steps into the light, and a halo forms around him and his Jesus like attire.
