Battleship Potempkin

1. Re watch the up to 0:45. What atmosphere do the contrasting shots create? How does Eisenstein create a sense of foreboding alongside the overriding atmosphere?
the contrasting shots give an happy and exited atmosphere, which is very different to what going to happen. the sense of foreboding comes from the people waving because you don't no what there waving at fully, you know its a ship but don't know who is on the ship and what there doing.

2. Watch the rest of the clip again. How does Eisenstein create a contrast between the soldiers and the people? How and why does our view of the people's feelings towards the soldiers change?
the contrast is that the soldier are all in a line and well organized, and the people are running in different directions and hiding and jumping over things. its a very crowed scene and out of control. it also shows that the soldiers are in control because they are calm and not running around, not like the people who are in a state of panic and cannot be in control of the situation. another contrast between the soldiers and people is that the people feel many different emotions while the soldiers don't, they don't even feel any for the boy who is dead. they just keep shooting and marching down the steps.

Common Features

The common features of horror are dark sets, bloody scenes and some great make up and costumes. many horror movies use video editing to add things in that are not physically possible to create on set.

This is an example of some video editing has you can see at 0.19 - 0.22 seconds.

Horror movies sometimes have over exaggerated deaths, where there is tons of blood and limbs falling off.

at 3.29 you can see the blood falling from his face and that the cuts are deep.

horror movies are defined as movies that scared you and make you feel very uncomfortable. some have a lot of blood and can get very detailed.

horror is similar to some action movies, where there is always a main character that survives and saves the day. horror movies are also very different because action movies mostly make you feel good and it has a lot of fighting and effects. eg cars flying throw windows, explosions. horror doesn't really have bombs and guns, it has a lot of unnatural things like ghosts or zombies.
