Migrain Analysis On Utube Clip

Media langauage: in many parts of the clip the scene is showing darkness, this adds a effect to the film and makes it seem more mysterious, the fact that the darkness covers the room creates a feeling that the audience do not know what can happen and also what dangers are present in the room, in other parts of the film killings are taking place in the daytime this could have been done to make the audience recognize the setting, as being outside seeing different buildings is something the audience will be used to and by having the killing takes place shows that something is out of place and it makes it more realisitc.
- the sounds in this clip is interesting, the film uses both non diegetic and diegetic sounds all through the film but from this clip it can be said that the producers of the film only want the audience to pay attention to one sound type at a time for example when essential things are needing to be heard such as screams of people or the sound of the weopens meeting someones face their is no other sounds, no soundtrack. however the soundtrack of the film is used in a attempt to create a scary feeling, the music is played with low keys as it makes the song more scary.
- there is a variety of shots used from long shots to close up, different shots show different things their are close up shots of the weapons used by both good and bad side also close up shots are used when they are trying to show more visual parts for example a villian with blood leaking out of his head, the long shots are used when showing a charcter after a battle, they show the main character in a long shot after he defeats the villian this is done to show him a glorious way.

Institution - fox search light pictures with assosiation with craven maddalena films.

Genre - the genre of this film is horror/thriller

Representation - one of the representations shown is thet role of men, men in this film are seen to be more powerful then women and more significant then women, the main fight scenes are betweem men and the main chracter in the film is a man. women are also shown to fulfil this role also but in the same way men do it, when the male chracter fights he is using his ability against a strong chracter when the female chracter kills the villian he is already vunrable and on the ground.

audience - in terms of target audience, i would say that the they are trying to target middle class white people from ages 18 - 30 the reason for this is becuase they feature a family with similar ages in the film by doing this the audience can put themselves into the film easier.

Ideology - Good Conquers Evil
