In todays lesson we looked at the visual and audio conventions of the opening few minutes of the horror film wrong turn. We watched the opening minutes of the film once and wrote down the visual and audio conventions we found then watch the same clip again to find things we missed the first time of watching wrong turn.
The visual features in the opening few minites of wrong turn were, bird's eye view camera shot, fast camera movements through and over trees, high and low angle camera shots which showed danger, lots of different shots in a quick space of time to make the film seem likes its going at a fast tempo to show danger.
The audio features in the openong few minutes of wrong turn were, sharp noises of weapons grinding together, enhanced sound of footsteps to ensure the viewer heard the danger, close ups and extreme close ups to interest the viewer.
The opening few minutes of wrong turn took place in a remote location. When the audience started to think there was danger there would be a camera shots in the film that suggested they would get away such as the shot of the second rope on the cliff and the car in the remote location. However these were just tricks to the audience and the teenagers didnt get to the car and get away. They keep the audience thinking by dilliberatly not showing the what is after the teenagers so the viewers have their own take on what is going to happen next.
