The second clip which is the title of the film "Frass Up" shows a scary sinister hallway which creates a best atmosphere for the audience and put the audience in the horror mindset to get ready to watch the film. The flickering light gives threatening eerie tone to the film.    

The first clip gives of the sense of horror for the audience as smoke is used to give an eerie atmosphere for the audience and as it is the first thing they will watch it will set the mood and sense for the rest of the scene; smoke connotes death.      

The horror film foreshadows the horror events which are going to happen in the film and also creates realism for the audience as teenagers often watch horror films with their friends.

The storyline is about how the two boys are watching a horror film and what happens is they become the horror film and they eventually find out it's not just them town in the house. 

This a low angle shot of our villain. Low angle shots stereotypically show power, so the audience will understand that this is the villain who is going to attack the boys. Also, it is clear through his costume that he is the villain as he is wearing dark clothing and a mask. Furthermore, by the audience only seeing his eyes creates tension as they may also fear the villain.

These are the two main protagonists, they are wearing recognisable clothing - tracksuits, which the audience would relate to and may find attractive according to the Female Gaze theory. The low key lighting is effective and shows that it is night time and this sets the scene. Night time is a typical time of night that horror films are set so instantly the audience would recognise it is a horror film. 

The characters are introduced straight from the opening scene when the credits come up saying the name and that the is a medium short of Joe and Jackson then later on the killer is shown on camera which is Shea and his name is shown.

Overall film analysis:

The title of the film is called Frass Up. The film was located in Shea's house and the costumes we chose to wear was tracksuit to relate to what the characters were like and that they were just typical teenagers. Also the props we used was just two glass of water, a tv controller and a knife. We decided to do different camera shots and angles to make the film for exciting for the people who watch it and to get higher marks. We used bloody colour font to give the it a horror feel before the audience even watch the film. 

The genre of film is horror/thriller it's suggested in the film as tension is built for example when Jackson comes down and the door is open.  The special effects shown are to do with  editing and the crossover from each scene to the next and music at the beginning. Also we used Adobe After Effects to create smoke for our production title. This was an effective use of technology, which relates to typical horror opening where special effects are used to create enigma codes.
