In Fear

  • What genre was in Fear and give three reasons why.
In fear is a psychological horror movie.

  1. Title - already communicates through title have simple sharp white letters in black background.
  2. Location - dark woods, where characters get lost, while searching for their hotel.
  3. Stalker - in the beginning of the movie i could see how's someone staring at Lucy in the toilet through peeping hole.
  • What production context does In Fear fit into and give three reasons why.
  1. British Pub - when movie starts i could see shot of the pub with the English name on it.
  2. Accent - when Tom or Lucy talks you could heard mixture of English accents, while Lucy talks you could hear some English accent and maybe even some Welsh accent as well.
  3. Words - when talking about beer use word 'pint'.
  • Were there any stars involved with In Fear?

Allen Leech, Iain De Caestecker, Alice Englert.

  • How did narrative, dialogue, characters and locations relate to the production context?
Narrative story line goes around the couple, which travels to the hotel room, but get lost in the wood's maze. While characters are talking one with each other, i could hear British accent and typical words for England. 

  • How did the technology used to relate to the production context? Give examples and compare this to a Bollywood and/or Hollywood film.
  •  Hollywood - more interested story line, which have much special effect in it. Uses CGI instead of make up. Has good movie budget, so could use best equipment in the movies ( from cameras till lighting).
  • British - British production have less money, than Hollywood. However, in this British production movie i could not see any CGI or other special effect as in World War Z. Mostly all props are Fake blood, scars or broken cars. Story line development comparing with World War Z is a bit slow and predictable.

  3. Mutilated body parts - audience see shots of the body parts laying around, example could first girl, which been killed hand was laying in the tent near Neal.

Rise of the zombies fits into Bollywood production.
  1. Actors and their language - While watching the movie i could hear some of the character talking in Hindi.
  2. Food - Their specific food for examples 'tapas'.
  3. Location - Main story goes in the forest near Mumbai. Mumbai is the capital city of the Indian state of Maharashtra.

There is one of them - Luke Kenny.
  • How did the narrative, dialogue, characters and locations relate to the production context? give actual examples.
  1. Dialogues - through storyline i could see, how people respect their relatives and talk with them nicely. In Bolywood movie there is no bad language like in Hollywood or British production.
  2. Location - as i mentioned above main location is Mumbai city and its surroundings, which tells to the viewer, that it is India.
  3. Narrative - as mostly of Bollywood movies even horror movie goes around love story. In this one how love will save Neil from being zombie.

  • Hollywood - more interested storyline, which have much special effects in it. Uses CGI instead of make up. Has good movie budget, so could use best equipment in the movies (from cameras until lighting).
  • Bollywood - Dull storyline, which flows around song lyrics. All movies depends on love story no matter what genre it is. Use simple technologies comparing with Hollywood production. Using minimal amount of blood in the movie. Plus misdirect viewer in this movie, when zombie Neal attacks, he rips out heart through body space, where have to be lungs.

World War Z


  • What genre was World War Z and give three reasons why?

        World War Z fits into horror genre.
  
  1. Chase/Runaway scenes - Main characters chased by zombies.
  2. Location - Dark places with poor lighting in it, Example: Stairway and the corridor with dark, red lighting in it.
  3. Sounds - In all horror movies, before zombies or other enemies attack. Audience starts to hear strange noise, which create tension. The same action audience could hear in the World War Z movie, when zombies going to appear. Before zombies near to appear or already appering audience could hear noise similar to ancient chimeras or gargoyles. 
  • What production context does World War Z fit into and give three reasons why
          The production context that the World War Z fits into is Hollywood.
  1. Budget - World War Z budget was $125 million
  2. Novel - movie was created by novel, which been written by American writer Max Brooks. Originally book's name is 'World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War
  3. Actors/actresses - actor/actresses, which acting in this movie are all American, which shows, that World War Z was made in Hollywood.
  • Were there any stars involved with World War Z? if yes do you think that was.
         One of the main protagonists get involved into World War Z. Former UN investigator Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt), which left his job, because of his family.
  • How did the narrative, dialogue, characters and locations relate to the production context?
          I think actors represent and relates to Hollywood production context, because mostly all of them are Americans, i can understand that from their accents. Other aspect shows that movie is a Hollywood film by soldiers with U.S. navy uniforms and their 'headquarters' surroundings in the Atlantic Ocean.  While watching the movie audience could see subtitles about cities names, which shows more that film is from Hollywood context for example, Philadelphia, Newark in New Jersey.
Main protagonist travels through the world. Firstly, to the South Korea to check on military base in there, later he goes to the Jerusalem after Jerusalem he goes to Wales and in the end of the movie to see his family he goes to the Canada. Talking about narrative of the movie, it is about deadly zombie virus, which turns people into the zombies.
  • How did the technology used relate to the production context? Gives examples and compare this to Bollywood and/or British Film.
World War Z is Hollywood production movie, which i can see from high technology, which been used in the movie. Good quality of CGI to create the zombies, whose quickly attacking and spreading through the world. Good sound effects, which make horror movie intense. By watching  this horror movie made by Hollywood and one made by Bollywood, I could see difference between them. Even if Bollywood has a big budget to create movie it's still not so great with sound effect or CGI images in it. Mostly in Bollywood production movies, I could hear different song lyrics in the background, which connects to the storyline.
