Inspiration of Seven

• This film can be simplified down with the titles but still retain the same effect meaning our group could do it in our opening sequence. It also tells us the order in which the people should be presented that way we don't put prop specialist first or music by someone last. Also the props used meant that anyone could technically do it because the props could be found or made easily. This is great as special effects is difficult to do and it inspires me to think more basic. The film also made me realise that a horror film openings could not have a dramatic scene in the first 2 minuets so this gave me ideas on what sound would make suspense. 

• Sound would be the hardest thing to find as it is difficult to get all the blood sound effects or realistic screaming. But also it is difficult to get sound without copyrighting something else so the film tells me we have to be resourceful and think outside the box. The sound is contrapuntal to the images. Sound that maybe I could copy and use is between 0.17 and 0.19 to sound is from a record player which my dad has and the sound is easy to achieve via scratching and could be used for flash backs or mix in sound to scramble it up.

• Props, this film is good inspiration for props as it tells us we have to think like a killer so we are not allowed to make silly mistakes in filming and reveal our characteristics. The plasters on his finger tips conforms to not anting to be known or traced via finger prints this obsession with finger tips is also shown as he gets a razor and takes away his skin which appears to be dead.

A book is easy to find and with editing can be made to look old and worn. or I could old tea bags which degrade the paper making it look older than it actually is. This is inspiration because simple things can be used to make a dramatic effect.

Bandages over fingers with dark edges displaying a used need again this is inspiration because all these small props add up. It also gives me an idea of what a killer might have and use different props to foresee that.

Pictures that are black and white with face drawn out displays killing list, something in which people would have in that area or in their own room.

• Camera angles most are extreme close up of close up this makes the audience see his obsessions or maybe motives . We can see him cutting the word god out displaying a religion medium which physiological horrors are renowned for. Also him crossed eyes out of names giving people the impression of a kill list and also that he nows the victims well. This is great inspiration as close ups and extreme close ups can be easily performed and can be edited down to make a dramatic effect as well as easy to do as no frame needs to be filled with other things.

Extreme close up so you can see everything he is doing in specific detail also means you can't see his face. This is a good tip if I am trying to reveal the character without giving the game away so early loosing the suspense.

Dropping hints to tell the audience what this it is about via religion. The fact he picked that word out means something and tells the audience a little hint on what the topic could be about. Just not everything which would therefore ruin the film. 

• The editing is quite slow paced with lots of different cuts to section this makes scenes you are seeing more dramatic and sinister to what they could be if the editing was fast paced which would loose the effect of suspense.
