Describe your shot and identify in what way it could be seen as representing horror?
My shot is of a woman looking into the mirror and she can see the reflection of a hooded man behind her, the man is looking down at her and part of his face is obscured. the fact that only half of the mans face is shown is very 'horror' like as it brings imagination to the shot. Also the fear in the womans face adds to the 'horror' theme.
What did you actually do to achieve the effect?
We decided to place the man so that he would show up in the mirror but not actually show up in the orground, this resulted in it looking as though twe were looking through the man's eyes, this made the whole shot much more 'horror' like.
What is successful about your shot?
Your able to see the facial expressions of both characters, this is important as horror is allabout emotion and if you're unable to see the emotion of the characters it will be difficult to pick up the actual emotion of the shot. The shot also successfully makes the man look much bigger, this lets the audience know who's got the power and who's the most likely to cause damage.
What would you do differently in hindsight?
If i had a chance to take my shot again, i would choose a better location, i dont think the mise en scene was ideal for a horror film, the lighting was too powerful i would prefer if the room was darker and the mirror looked too modern, it didn't have the horror characteristics.
