B.T.K (Analysis 2 Horror)

B.T.K

As you can see, the film poster made for B.T.K is very terrifying. The way they have created this effect is by making the title bike and bold with red colour. Also in the background is a person who plays in the opening of the film. He looks stress and worrid along with the his face all dirty and sweaty. This helps show the audience what the film would be about. And you can also recognise it is a horror film just by the cover.

The film B.T.K starts of with very plain opening credits which is normal Basic fonts with the text colour white and the background black. There is also a music being played which is sort of calm and slow. This isn't what you expect from a horror film, but they properly had done this to get the audience curious in why they have done it like this, to help build suspense. It also could represent the supernatural because of the white font. The opening credits only go on for about forty seconds which is normal.

The first scene in the film, there is a building shown which has been recorded at a low camera angle which makes the building look taller and a bit creepy. Then a corridor is shown but in a unbalanced angle were the camera is tilted anti-clockwise. Along with this is a man standing in the middle on his own. This has been done to the give the scene a bit weird and scary effect.

After this the man walks towards the camera and enters the door to the left. The camera shot took when showing him is constantly at a low angle. This has been done to represent his high authority and you can also see this by the shirt and security badge he is wearing. But he is also carrying a big black bad which gets the audience curious to why he is carrying this black bag and what is in it. Along this the music is playing as well but has gone much louder and faster now. This is building up suspense and also shows the audience that the character is tensed at the time. In the film this person then walks into the room and lies down on his bed. He then gets undress and calls a prostitute to come to his apartment or hotel room.

He then goes to sleep on the bed as he waits. But then a sharp noise comes up along with a extreme close-up on his eye. He then looks around the room to see if anything there. But then the music gets even louder which makes this moment even more tense. He then gets up and looks out the window. This scene is really bright because of the sun establish what time of day it is, but then the room is really dark which makes it look a bit odd.

The start of the film does not contain many rules and conventions a horror film would have at the start. But it does sort of have a creepy and depressing effect towards the audience which would make them anxious and curious. But it won't work well in showing the audience that it is a horror film and not a thriller, therefore i would not be using many of these technique in my film.
