I thought the project was going to be very boring and long. But I think in the end it was a great project that came up short. I would like to highlight the freedom that has allowed us to do distinctive jobs and have fun. I also think that studying some films has helped us to inspire. What I enjoyed learning was the cinematographic shots and above all the recordings.

a. Which axe do you think your doc belongs to and why? The creative and visionary imagination or Scary imaginations

This doc belongs to the axe of Scary imaginations. Indeed, it’s a horror story that talks about ghosts, possession, a boy who can see ghosts and many other scary and supernatural things. There is also violence :  we can see dead people and blood…

b. Research info about your documents contextualising them and providing more info on the explicit and the implicit. e.g.: Director / actors / context / inspiration / film reviews, etc.

Director :
Stanley Kubrick = Born in July 26, 1928 and dead in March 7, 1999, he was an American film director, producer, screenwriter, and photographer. Widely considered one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, his films, almost all of which are adaptations of novels or short stories, cover a wide range of genres and are noted for their innovative cinematograph y, dark humor, realistic attention to detail and extensive set designs.

Context and inspiration:

The film was released in the United States on May 23, 1980.

It was based on Stephen King’s novel The Shining published in 1977

Film reviews:
- "the supernatural story knows frustratingly little rhyme or reason ... Even the film's most startling horrific images seem overbearing and perhaps even irrelevant." -The New York Times
- "Again and again, the movie leads us to expect something – almost promises it – and then disappoints us." -The New Yorker
-  It was the only one of Kubrick's last nine films to receive no nominations from either the Oscars or Golden Globes, therefore being the only one of Kubrick's last eleven films to receive no nominations

Actors :

Jack Nicholson : Jack Torrance = the father who becomes crazy due to the haunted hotel. He’s possessed by the house’s spirit.

Shelley Duvall : Wendy Torrance= Jack Torrance’s wife persecuted by her husband.

Danny Lloyd : Danny Torrance = Jack and Wendy’s son. He can see the ghosts before they become real. He is the one who realises that his father is possessed.

Scatman Crothers : Dick Hallorann= the owner of the hotel.

The film's main character is Jack Torrance, an aspiring writer and recovering alcoholic who accepts a position as the winter caretaker of the isolated Overlook Hotel, with his wife, Wendy Torrance, and his young son, Danny Torrance. Danny is gifted with psychic abilities named "shining". After a winter storm leaves the Torrances snowbound, Jack's sanity deteriorates due to the influence of the supernatural forces that inhabit the hotel.

c. Use the handouts Describing a picture and 16 types of camera shots and angles to deconstruct and describe your image.

The picture takes place on the wall, we know the movie happens in a hotel and that scene is in a room. The image suggests the man at the left is chasing the woman with an axe.
In the background there is a scared woman with a knife. She looks desperate. She doesn’t seem to have a way out. The medium shot of the woman allows the viewer to see the background environment that’s white and the character’s gestures.
On the left-hand side of the picture there is an extreme close shot of man’s face that adds drama to the scene and accentuates the emotions that the subject is experiencing. It seems he finds these exciting, he looks like a psychopath. The reddish tones on the skin suggest danger and violence.

The atmosphere is horrible, and violent. His eyebrows are raised and with his mouth open he shows all his teeth. The image is striking, presenting the characters of the story. It also allows the viewer to wonder how this is happening.

d. Read the Fantasy and Scary elements handout. Choose two or three elements from the list and explain how this is depicted in your document.

Suspense is a feeling of fascination and excitement mixed with tension and anxiety. The audience is waiting for something significant to happen.
The suspense depends of several factors

In this film, Danny possesses psychic abilities and he’s able to see things from the past and future, such as ghosts or the people who inhabit the hotel. Some time after the settling the family is trapped  in the hotel by a snowstorm and Jack (the father) gradually becomes influenced by a supernatural presence and finally attempts to murder his wife and child.

Moreover, in the typewriter scene, the camera angles give the impression of someone watching the wife, and the close-up shows Wendy’s fear.
The theme of madness (feeling of paranoia, psychopaths, fears, obsessions)

The story portrays the character of Jack Torrance, a writer who develops alarming symptoms which point to schizophrenia such as horrid and vivid nightmares and mood swings that intensify into vivid hallucinations and violence culminating in an attempted murder of his own wife and child.
This behaviour is also evident in his work when he repeats a line that says ‘All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy’ nonsensically throughout all the pages he had written. (to make the point with the suspense theme).

Inés Jacquemin, Gustavo Monetti, Carne Nuñez and Ada Torrente

(Ada) a.  This poster belongs to the Creative and Visionary Imagination axe given its fantasy aspect and medieval inspiration (despite having some scary elements).

(Gustavo)  b. Document in context: Game Of Thrones (Season 4)

1. Game of Thrones is an American fantasy drama television series created by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss for HBO. It is an adaptation of “A Song of Ice and Fire”, a series of fantasy novels by George R. R. Martin, the first of which is “A Game of Thrones”.

2. The series was first launched in 2011 and after its remarkable success worldwide, 7 more seasons came along, being the fourth one the main turning points of the series. This particular season was released in 2014, a year of numerous conflicts such as the invasion of Crimea, the rise of the terrorist group ISIS, the Israel-Hamas conflict and the breakout of an ebola epidemic (to name a few).

3.  The series takes place in Westeros, an imaginary continent ruled by a total of 9 dynasties that fight against each other to conquer the Iron Throne, symbol of the ruler’s power over the whole continent. Among the main characters there’s Maisie Williams as Arya Stark, Kit Harrington featuring Jon Snow, and Emilia Clarke starring Daenerys Targaryen. This last is most famously known as the “mother of dragons” after her 3 fearsome dragons, the ones that will lead to her taking over

4. Season 4 deals with an unstable context. The Iron Throne is threatened by both internal and external menaces such as the rise of Daenerys’ power and the arrival of the white walkers (an old legend about zombies that turns out to be a real menace).

(Carmen) c. This poster for the series Game of Thrones’s season four shows, in a very extreme shot, often used to add drama to a scene, the eye of one of Daenerys dragons, (she’s the one of the main characters). Her dragons are an iconic part of the series and they are an essential part of the show, representative of the story and plot. The colors of the poster is overall dark and in grayscale, so darker darker grays and blacks overall, but the contracted iris shows how the animal is alert, ready to maybe fight it’s opponents, and it’s shown colored in red: red usually represents danger and anger, and what’s also colored in red is the sort of subtitle written on top of the series name, “ALL MEN MUST DIE”. The main focus of this poster, what’s shown in light and color, is the eye. The poster looks like a book cover with the embroidered margins and corners, so it takes back to the original form of the series which is a book series.

(Inés) d. Fantasy and Scary elements:

1b. unsettling atmosphere/ the mysterious and the weird

The unsettling atmosphere and the mystery is depicted through the fact that we do not know what we are looking at when we look at the poster. All we can see is a big eye, surrounded by scales so it must be a reptile, however we can’t be 100% sure of what it is if we have not ever watched Game Of Thrones. We can also read ‘ALL MEN MUST DIE’ and it makes the public wonder ‘why?’, it leaves a touch of mystery and it lures the public.

2a. combination of the rational with the irrational/ the uncanny

The rational and irrational is depicted here thanks to the message written in red. This message, said by Daenerys, saying that all men have to die, is very surprising, and can be described as irrational because who would want everyone in this world to die? This message would seem very strange to the public so they would feel attracted to discover what this truly means, to discover this irrational sentence.

2.f Gruesome details and blood imagery

We have it pretty clear that the blood imagery is represented in this poster: we can observe a drop of blood in the eye of what we could think is some sort of reptile, and the message saying ‘ALL MEN MUST DIE’ is written in red. The blood imagery represents violence and death (specifically the arrival of the white walkers). It can also represent and thanks to this we can expect something big to happen in this season (which is the rise of Daenerys’ power, the arrival of the white walkers and the endangerment of the iron throne), as the message and the presence of blood makes the poster even more interesting.

Film reviews:

4,6/5 ranking

“Very long, unnecessary film. The directors deformed the original piece, it’s a real pity.”

“Best film on earth!”

“The film is more violent, less cute than the others, but the action is not the mindless destruction of a video game; it has purpose, shape and style.”

“I liked this film very much. It is much darker than the previous outings, but not as faithful to the source material.”

c. Use the handouts “Describing a picture” and “16 types of camera shots and angles to deconstruct and describe your image.”

Description of the picture:

Place: Hogwarts

Title: “Harry Potter” written with golden letters on the front

Description: Harry Potter is on the foreground, holding a magic wand and wearing his typical round glasses

There are some characters in the background:

Left-hand side: Good characters (Draco, Hagrid, Dobby, etc.) + blue light to symbolize good, owls (who are the pets of the main characters)

Right-hand side: half of the characters are heroes (Hermione, Ron or Severus Snape) and the others are villains (as Voldemort of Belatix), persons who are in flying magic brooms, Hogwarts on fire

It looks like Voldemort is sending a magic spell to the camera

→ Photographer and editor of this poster wants to show us how the characters  are going to take part in this movie.

Shots:

Background (establishing shot): build ambiance and show the full atmosphere

Left-hand side (full shot): entire body is shown

Right-hand side (medium shot): to see at the same time the background and the characters emotions and gestures

Harry Potter (extremely close shot): because of his importance in the movie

→ Explanation of the shots:

Established shot: shows us a dark ambiance who describes how the characters are going to be in the movie

Full shot: these characters don’t really take part in the plot of the movie but they add something to the plot

Medium shot: it shows us the expressions of the characters to see how they feel and it also shows us that they are going to be more important for the plot of the movie

Extremely close shot: it shows us the importance of a character and, in this case, it shows us that Harry Potter is going to be the main character in this story

d. Read the “Fantasy and Scary elements” handout. Choose two or three elements from the list and explain how this is depicted in your document.

The theme of madness:

Voldemort is extremely scared of death and dedicates his whole life to pursuing immortality → obsession and fear

Shown in the picture: the only character who is actually using his magic wand in order to cast a spell

Everyone is frightened by Voldemort and his terrific magic: the characters don’t even dare calling his name and prefer to refer to him by saying “You know who”.

Gothic elements:

Suspense and unexpected

Shown in the picture: the majority of characters are looking prepared for a possible new threat as some of them are all holding determinately their magic wands

Unsettling atmosphere/the mysterious and the weird

Extraterrestrial creatures

The climate: cloudy, windy, rainy

The presence of magic and fantasy

The unknown origin of the burning building

Medievalism

Hogwarts School’s architecture with secret passageways, dungeons (rooms or cells for prisoners of the castles, usually situated underground), turrets (small towers used for defensive actions), etc.

The theme of death:

Ghost-like characters: strange creatures + Voldemort who doesn't look real because of his weird appearance (nose) + Hogwarts is populated by past residents’ ghosts

Harry Potter’s parents death: the main character is totally obsessed with his parents’ death as they appear under several forms (ghosts for example) in practically every film of the series. This can be related to the gothic theme of “The Past haunting the Present”. Throughout the series of films, Harry learns how to accept and confront death as he almost experiences it on various occasions.

a. Which axe do you think your doc belongs to and why? The creative and visionary imagination or Scary imaginations

For me this document is in the scary imaginations because.:

-Zombie scare people

-Zombie doesn't exist

-Zombie are usually in horror movies

-Nothing of this can truly happen

b. Research info about your documents ´contextualising them´and providing more info on the explicit and the implicit. eg Director/ actors/ context/ inspiration/ film reviews etc

In the music video, Michael was inspired by the horror-comedy film “An American Werewolf in London”. The movie's director John Landis worked with Michael to create a concept for the 'Thriller' video and also worked as the director on the shoot to help execute a clearer vision of what Michael wanted to precisely show,  the effect he wanted to produce. The writer and composer of the song was Rod Temperton (in 1982).

The actors in the video are: Vincent Price, Michael Jackson, Ola Ray, Michael DeLorenzo and Ben Lokey.

The music video tells the story of how a double-date night at the movies turns into a nightmare. Michael and his date are attacked by a horde of bloodthirsty zombies and supposedly, only a "Thriller" can save them now. Michael was already very famous at the time and his song “Thriller” had a big impact at the time; sealed MTV's reputation as a new cultural force. They considered it dissolved racial barriers in the station's treatment of music.

The first clip was announced as a "World Premiere" on MTV and this was broadcast on December 2, 1983.

The reviews of the music video are great meanwhile the ones from the movie are awful.

reviews: “Quite possibly the most cliche ridden horror movie of the century so far, which is quite a feat considering the screenplay is so underwritten. There is not a single redeemable character here, or a half developed one. Some people should never get a second chance at filmmaking, the writer/director here should top that list. Halfway decent, however there is no mistake, this is awful.”

We can see an example of the reviews people put on the internet, it is clear to see the movie is not liked by as many people as the song and music video are.

c. Use the handouts Describing a picture and 16 types of camera shots and angles to deconstruct and describe your image.

In this picture we can see Michel Jackson in the middle, and he is surrounded by the other actors, those who represent the zombies.

The backround is a red wall of bricks that gives the impression of being trapped, there’s no escape

Michel is wearing a red jacket, who makes him the important character of the picture and catch the attention of the viewers

his facial expression is serious, not very expressive, his not scare of the zombies

the zombies want to scare with their facial expressions

The lighting of this picture is a little bit dark which creates a scarier atmosphere and it matches with the ambience of the zombies

At the bottom of the picture there’s written “Michel Jackson’s thriller” in red, that go with the red jacket of Michael

That’s a Medium shot because we can see the background environment and characters

d. Read the Fantasy and Scary elements handout. Choose two or three elements from the list and explain how this is depicted in your document.

The theme of death (vega):  The power of the dead over the living is present in “Thriller'', both the movie and the music video, as we see that the zombies are the ones in power, the dominant ones, chasing the humans who are trying to escape from them. The dead (zombies) come out of the graves and leave the graveyard looking for people, they basically “come back to life” in a way and become the living dead. There is a representation of the obsession of the dead for the  living. As an example: Zombies surround the couple and won’t let them get away. Michael ends up turning into one of them, his girlfriend doesn’t though and she tries her best to escape him, the rest of the zombies and death. The theme of death is also strongly related to love as the main characters are a couple that were on a date at the movies before all that apocalypse takes place. Once Michael turns into a zombie, he goes after the girl he loves. However, the girl doesn’t trust him anymore, she’s scared of him.

music/sounds:Thriller films as a rule usually have non-diegetic music playing in the background creating a sound bridge to create and determine the certain desired atmosphere. Orchestral music is also often used within thriller films. Normally in the scary music, they composed using key that change our mood and emotion.There also the suspenseful music that is also use, it s use to help to create the dramatic effect. The music builds tension and holds the audience's attention

The exploration of feelings (julia):  thriller, the poster shows us many feelings like , fear, agony, suspense, wonder, paranoia…. in the poster we can see michael jackson surrounded by many zombies who look scary, some more than others. The grotesque is here seen with the zombies who are the opposite of beauty. grotesque is something exaggerated, horrific, everything that could live in the shadow world. like monsters…. we have a point of view shot, the one of the person looking at it, who is trying to figure out what is the meaning of all this decoration , of all the details drawn and what are his feelings for it.and last but not least psychological novel; we can find its principal characteristics like anxiety, fear and mental conflicts. which we all feel while looking at the picture.
