Night Act 1 Scene 2 Analysis

Furthermore, by associating with the sound effect, the frighten scene at that time can convey its full potential. In every horror movie, especially cartoon (I think), mysterious jungle and haunted castle are very useful. In the magnetic jungle, there will be many unexpected things which the audience cannot predict, and that is the most interesting part in horror movie. People’s imagination is magneficent. The more they want to know something, the more they will imagine it in an ugliest and scariest image. Moreover, combine the scene with the thunder sound, it will be more scary. Similar to the jungle is a haunted castle which also contains many scary elements. Another detail in the movie which is also adequate is the torch when Sherk and his friend enter the castle. The light from the torch is very weak and can only illuminate a narrow area. To the audience, it pretty normal, but if you imagine you are the character in the movie it is another story. Visualize you are entering the haunted castle, and the only thing you can use to see the around is the torch. You cannot see everything clearly, and you will imagine that there will be something come out of nowhere. The filmmakers are very intelligent when using this material because they understand the audience’s spychology: they scare what they do not

As it blurs the lines between fantasy and realism, the use of the score creates a more convincing atmosphere of space and time, allowing audiences to understand that the events in the narrative are applicable to reality. This function is a factor used to support the film’s element of horror, suspending their disbelief. It also highlights the underlining psychological refinements; the unspoken thoughts of a character, or the unseen implications of a situation. In Bullerjahn and Guldenring’s film music research analysis; “Musical accompaniment was needed for the silent film, to bring out that intangible element which had, in the absence of speech and the noises of everyday life, to work on the mind and should through a combination of ear and eye" . The use of the score to distinguish setting and atmosphere is prevalent throughout the sequence. As the shot changes to the events occurring at Dr Caligari’s residence, the music has become cynical and inquisitive. Fitting to the events occurring on screen, this allows for the audience to engage and participate in the interrogation. This enhances the relationship between the screen and the viewers, as it allows for the contribution of both parties to transcend the fantasy world that is being presented. An investigation of the effects of film music using qualitative content analysis found that "film music polarizes the emotional atmosphere and influenced the understanding of the plot," thus confirming the existence of some psychological connection between music and

The lightening throughout the scene is dark and pitch black, intensifying the mood of the scene and creating a dramatic sense throughout the scene. As Charlie did not know where Jasper was taking him, Charlie’s fear grew in the pitch black, dark scary forest, with the music intensifying making the scene creepy and making the audience think that Jasper Jones is going to harm Charlie. With the lightening being used to portray the forest as a dark, spooky place, the audience should feel terrified for Charlie as he was woken to a black man asking for his help, leading him to a place he doesn’t know exists.

Act 3 Scene 4 of Shakespeare’s play, Macbeth, is often noted as the climax of Macbeth as it marks the turning point of the play, where Macbeth will not go back to his old, pure self. Set at the Macbeths’ banquet, it begins calmly and orderly but takes an unexpected turn when Macbeth finds the ghost of Banquo (whom he has just had murdered) sitting in his place. He is the only person who can see it and is unsettled and reacts badly. The scene ends ominously with the line, ‘We are yet but young in deed’. It doesn’t have the action and fast pace that one has come to expect of a climax but it is hugely tense and dramatic. Shakespeare uses several means to make the scene so dramatic and capture the audience’s attention such as using dramatic

One way authors plant fear in your brain is by transforming something we already know and love into something frightening. One example of this is in the short story “Windigo” by Louise Erdrich. Over the course of the story, the windigo takes an innocent little kid and turns them into a monster. The author introduces an inculpable child, even calling them “little one”. She then takes the kid and transforms them into a monster, a windigo. Following that, she even goes so far as to bring the child home. Home. As a monster. To haunt her own village. It says, “...I carried you home,” and that is when the fear she planted at the beginning really starts to take root. This transformation is a great illustration of an author transforming something you know and love, in

A passage I thought was interesting is, “Free from social constraint, young people gave way openly to instinct, taking advantages of the darkness to flirt in our midst, without caring about anyone else, as though they were alone in the world. The rest pretended not to notice anything” (Wiesel 18). When I was reading this part of the chapter my first thought was that it had already become every man for himself. After reading further into the chapter is has become that, like when they start hitting the old woman because she wouldn’t be quiet. I didn’t think it would be that easy for it to become survival already. No one cared what the youngsters did because they didn’t want to. They did what they wanted to do not what they should’ve done.

Lighting is used very commonly in horror movies. Lighting is the control of the light. Sometimes it starts flashing and sometimes the light all sudden turns bright or dark. lt is a great way to keep you on your toes. Jaws used the best lighting, for example the dim light in the boat made you really think the shark is coming. The lighting was really well used in most part of the movie. In The Others, they only used a few lighting techniques for one example the dim lighting used in the house. Signs had few lighting techniques used too. One was in the basement when the light suddenly goes out. If you have really good lighting used in your movie, the viewer will feel the something is going to jump out. One more is that light helps you hide something that you don't want the viewer to see what' is happening in the back.

In the film Edward Scissorhands, Tim Burton uses many different techniques to establish mood. Some of the techniques he uses are music and sound. In the opening credits there is light and joyful operatic, non-diegetic music playing that gets cut off and turns into eerie and spooky music when the castle is shown on screen. This spooky, non-diegetic music is meant to make you feel fearful about what the castle could contain, and this is a way Burton wants you to feel anxious

Much like the film ‘Shaun Of The Dead’ it starts off following the protagonist ‘Ana’ through a normal day, although unlike ‘Shaun Of The Dead’ it get’s straight into the horror. The camera cuts to the first person perspective, outside Ana's bedroom door, then the camera gets closer and closer, this causes suspense which is an important element to any horror film. Suddenly it cuts to a wide shot of Ana’s bedroom, all of a sudden the door slowly starts to open and the camera zooms in onto the handle of the door as it’s still opening. The director's use of shadow makes Ana’s daughter look normal which gives the viewer a false sense of security, then as she slowly walks into the light that sense of security quickly

Chapter 1: The encounter It seemed to be another typical day. Windy, but warm. I honestly thought today couldn 't get interesting at all. Until I met Wisp and the angels. I was in the park, just sitting on the bench reading my book when I began to hear a strange whirring noise. I looked up from my book to see a what seemed to be a police box. It wasn 't there before... and this is Georgia! Not England. I saw the doors begin to open and I shoved my face back in my book. After about a minuet I heard footstep coming closer to me. I looked up to see a woman who seemed to be about 20 years old in front of me. She had short dark brown hair with a pink flower in it. She also wore a lab coat that seemed to be a bit large for her with a pair of glasses in a pocket and a pink scarf the same color as the flower. "Excuse me but... what year is it?" She asked me. "Um... 2016." I responded with a confused tone. Who was this lady and how does she not even know the year? "2016... quite a year if I do say so myself!" She said excitedly. "Well... thank you!" She then walked back to the Police Box. Suddenly I got the strange feeling of someone watching me. I never had had that feeling before until now. I quickly spun my head around to see an angel statue with an arm reaching towards me.

In act five scene three of Macbeth the servant comes in and tells Macbeth there are ten thousand English soldiers coming. Macbeth reacts to this and gets his armor on and says "I will not be afraid of death and bane". Then in act five scene four Macduff and his troops start to march toward Birnam Wood. In act five scene five Macbeth has a messenger come into the castle and says to Macbeth that he looked out toward the forest and it was moving. Macbeth calls the messenger a liar and slave and says if he lied he would endure Macbeth's wrath on him. Macbeth finds out it is true and he rings the alarm bell.

The film is immediately introduced with an unseen abrupt and abrasive pane of music playing, then it stops. The frames that start off the movie are rather dark and atmospheric without making it seem threatening. Another harsh hit of music plays almost as if in warning. The mood is lightened up by Antonio Saleiri’s servants eating desert acting quite comical, but when the door opens, the lighting goes very dark again accompanied with the violent voice of a violin coming in, like a heart is bleeding. Music is basically the first character introduced in the film, as it itself, introduces the film. Throughout the story music is portrayed, whether it is supporting the scene or characters in the back round, or physically being played. In the long run, music is the cause for everything that happens.

The most important thing to understand is that it is normal. Baby Center explains that everything is new in children, that being said everything can be a threat until we reassure them that it is not. In world full of change and new things toddler want to grab, hold on, and never let go of the thing that does not change and they find the most comfort in. Baby center goes on to explain that acknowledging the fear they have is very important. Rather than tell them that there is no reason to be afraid tell them that it is okay to be afraid but you would never let anything bad happen to them. They also mention that it is important to talk it out have them describe the monster in their closet by asking specific questions, What color is it? How big is it?, Does it make noise? Through questions you may be able to identify where the fear is coming from, it may be a character in a movie or something they heard about in the book. Baby Center also explains that it is okay to tell them tales about the thing they are afraid of, for example most toddlers when they hear thunder in the middle of the night get afraid and run to sleep in the bed with their parents. Something to help this situation is to say something along the lines of “Gods bowling and the angels are playing flashlight tag”. Another thing you could say is that the clouds are putting together a musically group and they are practicing. It can help them feel less afraid and maybe even smile. They begin to not look at it as a scary noise with flashing lights but as a funny story in their

The third scene in this episode is in the hotel’s restaurant area, where all of the characters gather to have breakfast together. The lighting in this particular scene only focuses on the are where the main characters will be at. For instance, the table they are going to sit at, and the buffet area, where Joey and Chandler take some food for their breakfast. While Joey and Chandler walk to the buffet area, the camera follow both of them, in other word, a dolly shot. Although the shot was fairly shaky, it create the audience to think that the restaurant set is very big, when it isn’t. While taking the food, Chandler told Joey that he almost got married to Monica last night. This part made the audience to think that Chandler is talking

The night is brisk and even with the thick suede jacket pulled over the man’s shoulders he is still freezing. He should mind the frozen temperatures, but he doesn’t because he has just won a vast amount of money off a bet. Money that he can spend on luxuries that he doesn’t need but believes he deserves. He smiles to himself, walking along the cold roads. Occasionally passersby will bump into him and cautious to pickpockets, he pats the pocket that holds the thick envelope of money. Maybe he’ll stop by a restaurant along the shore to treat himself.
