Which aspects of the film would you like to AVOID in your
own trailer?
I would like to avoid using over-exaggerated effects mainly
because it makes a film look and feel unrealistic. I say this because I think
that a realistic film has a better overall effect on me personally. Films that
have realistic aspects such as, ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’, ‘Psycho’, ‘Saw’
and even zombie films like ‘Zombieland’ and ‘Day of The Dead’ just have more of
an emotional effect especially with the characters, which I feel is really important.
I would also try to avoid using ‘slow montage’ within my film trailer as
much as possible. I say this because using ‘quick montage’ within a film makes
it more exciting and panic-inducing as a whole and adds to the effect of the
storyline.
What was the best aspect / more enjoyable moment in the
film? Why? Can you recreate this in your own film? How?
I feel that as a whole, the body horror was the best aspect
of this film. In terms of the scene that achieves this, I feel that the soldier
who gets his stomach ripped open made me judder the most because it was evident
that he was not going to survive. I feel that recreating that form of body
horror may be difficult to replicate, but as a whole I would like to try and
make something similar. I would mainly try to add an emotional effect along
with the body horror to make it more effective.
How does the film show the influence of its ‘auteur’
director? How does it show the director’s filmmaking style and soul? Give
examples of three scenes from the movie that shows their auteur style.
I feel that this film has a good emotional effect throughout
nearly every scene; this is helped by the ‘soldier’ side of things (looking out
for one another, and relating to real-life soldiers).
In terms of the ‘auteur’ style, I think that Neil Marshall like the idea
of using body horror to create an emotional effect. This film also suggests
that he likes to cross genres (with this film being considered as 3).
