Twisted Pictures.

Ted Hartley, the owner of Twisted Pictures, a production company founded in 2002, from “Los Angelis CA”, they mainly create films of the horror genre. Movies they have made are very explicit, full of blood and gore.  They have made such films as: Saw 1-6.  Catacombs, Dead silence, and the Tortured. They gained a lot of attention through the saw movies.

Throughout the films they use death as there main focus and make all there films realistic, tortur on horror are the main focuses in there films. for example in catacombs, they have a guy running around the underground and one by one killing of people, slowly and painfuly, they use low key lighting and eerie music throuout all the films. this shows well what the compainy is like, we get a general idea of this by looking at the logo.


Twisted pictures uses similar aspects to what i will be doing for my cousework video.

Opening scene for saw v

The credits at the begining, show the main names of the compaines which made the film, for example when it opens with "Lions Gate."  they show it in dark red clouds seperating apart to show a gothic, violent, serious approach to the film. The next name showed is a compaint called "Twisted Pictures", they show very contrasting colours by having a erey background with bold white letters bright but faiding into the dark at the bottom, this shows a very dark theme leading up to the film, bloody red barb wire then comes wrapping around the letters with a loud bang which changed the mood of the audiance to a more serious gorey approach, they then finish it off with a dagger falling into the middle of the name,
the opening credits to the film are in a golden rustic colour contrasting against the dark background, light shines through eash letter from start to finish  to make the names stand out the the audiance, this is a way of making you remember the names and also a form of advertising,
the opening scene starts with a character in a darkend room, they use chiaroscuro lighting to refelct the fact he is really scared and trapped a high shot is used to show that he is made to look small and powerless.
we then see the pan of the character using low key lighting to reflect the mood and as it is in doors and in a dungeon setting. There is a close up of the character then the camera cuts to an eyeline match to show what he is looking at. we then see a close up of the puppett on the t.v, we then see a shot reverse shot of the puppet and victim.

Sorority Row

The opening sequence starts off with a group shot of all of the characters at a mid shot. This is to show them that they are wearing party clothes and that they are holding drinks, this signifies that they are at a party. There is a close up of one of the characters who is being spoken to which then cuts to a two shot of two other characters. This is so the audience can see the characters reactions of what has been said. The close up also shows that the characters are dressed up for a party as they have make-up on and their hair is styled. There is a shot reverse shot of another two characters talking. This is conventional of conversations between the two characters. The dialogue shows that they are young and we can tell this because of their accents and the language that they use. There is an eyeline match to show what the characters are looking at, there is then a close up of the laptop and cross cutting is used from the scene with the two characters kissing and the one with the rest of the characters. The music when one of the characters is choking gets progressively more fast paced to build tension. The lighting is low key while they are in the car, this is to reflect the mood and to show that it is night time. The camerawork gives a handheld effect which is to emphasise that they are in a car. When the characters are looking for rocks there is a mid shot of the boy and the music starts to play again, this shows that there is something going to happen with that character. It then cuts to one of the characters looking for something and there is a scream and the non diagetic music becomes more fast pace as one of the characters has just been killed and it is reflecting what is happening in the sequence. The camera uses the hand held effect again to show the urgency of the situation and to create more tension.


Opening Scene To Haloween.

In the opening scene of haloween(2007) we see michal, the main character of haloween, as a child in a mask, reflected through a window, this first shot is shown as a close-up of a scary clown mask, ovbiosly used to make the audiance feel uneasy by the evil face pulled on the mask. we see michal strokingg a rat repetativly which shows him to be a bit wierd. we then see a close up of the rat, a rat signifies ill things and being disgusting."even though rats are very clean animals :)." next we see michals mom and dad having an argument in the kitchen, they live in a very small council estate, type house, its clotted up with alot of rubbish, and old things which signfy they are very unclean untidey people, the mother is very pretty and theclothes and make-up she wears makes her contrast well to the surroundings showing she shouldnt be in a position like that, but when we see the step-dad he is a  very dirty unclean scruffy person with a messy unkempt beard which makes us think he is a waster and a drunk, being that he spits food from his mouth whilst talking, he also swears very much, we see shot reverse shot of the mother and step-dad, then of the baby this is done to show us the expressions on the characters faces and who they all are. The step-dad then starts shouting at the wife which starts to add abit more life to the scene we hear the baby crying during the argument as the mom tries to calm her down, we then see the older daughter walk through the door it starts with a mid-shot showing from her feet to her waist, which shows her figure, she wears tight rather revealing clothes which implies she is trying to look appealing to certian people. we then see an older the shoulder-shot of the step-dad holding the cerial refusing to let the daughter have it. they then have there own little argument between the mother and daughter, after this we see her leave and walk upstiars to get the brother michal, we see a close up shot of the step-dad drinking his drink and being perverse saying how hott his step-daughter looks,
another argument brews between the mom and step-dad and things get thrown on the floor, there both shouting and screaming, the camera then moves to the older sister nocking on michals bathroom door calling him to come down staairs, we see a close up shot of him still in the mask, which then goes back to him washing his hands, he is cleaning blood off of a scaple, he then starts screaming so he cant hear his sister, this shows us also he is very mixed up in the head and quite mad, we then see a continues switch between a close up and mid shot of the step-dad saying that the son is messed up in the head and stupid. we see then a few shot revrse shots of the mother and the son in the mask still whilst in the kitchen which shows he is weird, that he stil hasnt taken it off even though he is with his parents. for the rest of the scene we just see a shot revrse shot of michal arguing with the step-dad, he pulls the mask of his face and then we see a close up of what he actualy looks like. through out this scene we hear digetic sounds, the radio in the background is playing music, we also hear ambiant sounds like cars and birds tweeting outside, which makes us know its morning during the scene.
