Representation Evaluation

these are both from horror films and are similar because they are both abandoned. The first picture is where we filmed scenes for our trailer and the second picture is a picture I found online.

When we visited the air raid shelter we knew straight away it was perfect for our trailer. It was creepy and because it has been vandalised it enabled the audience to see it was abandoned. It gave the feel of wondering what else may be in there the whole time we were filming so we wanted to get this feel across through our trailer.

The second picture is from the film Saw which I found online it was effective because in the picture it Is light but is damaged and empty.

It took us a while to decide on how to create the clown look, we focused on looking at a recent and older clown films. It was great that IT has been re- released as a film because it has given two different looks of the older version and the new one.  We tried out make up before as we felt the clown from it was effective but after deciding we couldn't get it to a high enough standard and also wanting to steer away from the recent film we decided a mask would be better as it made the character look crazy but also showed there was more than just a clown.

I feel the major differences between our clown and the clowns from IT are obviously that we chose a mask but also that we made ours more humanised by the clothing and the hair tied up. The hair being tied up made it look more modern and humanised as more men and woman have hair up styles now.

The dirty teeth with some missing is effective because it resembles someone who has had a dirty life style and does not take care of themselves or  maybe cannot look after themselves but want to with is a similarity to someone who could potentially be homeless. We chose this look because we wanted to show that the clown is human as well.

Although we kept to the red hair to keep the stereotypical look of a clown so that it attracted the typical audiences of horror films. Another similarity that I felt was effective is the blue triangular shapes by the eyes because although it is different to the straight line on the newest IT clown it is still similar so shows us that our clown still has many similarities to a typical clown.
