1920 Deconstruction

                             1920 Deconstruction. 

Genre

1920 is a Romantic Horror. There are elements of horror such as spirits and ghosts when the women gets possessed. It has love scenes through-out the film to break up the horror. There wasn't many effects used but when the effects were used, it was very spooky. For example, when the women was running through the forest and fog appeared. This scene was very dramatic.

Production context

You will know straight away that 1920 is a Bollywood film. Simply because Bollywood music was being played in every scene. The music was played to take the narrative forward. Through-out the film they called each-other 'Brother or Sister' which shows that they are very family orientated in Bollywood. You expect to see some sort of chemistry/relationship  in a Bollywood film where they end up singing together or about each-other. You could tell by their costumes that the film was based in Bollywood as they wear long silky outfits.

Stars

In 1920, Tia Bajpai played Sangeeta and is an Indian television and film actress. She has starred in Lanka, Identity Card and Haunted 3D. Tia is one of the main characters in 1920 and is the women who gets possessed. The reason I think she got the role is because she is very talented and looked the part.

Aftab Shivdasani played Jaidev Verma. He has been in films such as Mr.India, Masti and Footpath. He is a famous Bollywood actor. The reason I think he played the part in 1920 is because he is well known and famous in Bollywood.  

Production Context related to Narrative, Dialogue, Characters and location

The film 1920 got influenced by the British horror films. Most British horror films have the typical haunted houses. I feel 1920 have almost copied that idea by using a large house to set the scene. Special effects wasn't over used because they didn't want the film looking to fake. It must of been used about 3/4 times through-out the film. For example, they used misty fog when the women is running through the forest to make it look as though something bad is going to happen. The way they have added in an echo noise to make it more scary for the viewers. You can see that the directors have taken there time to edit this film to there professional standard. The film doesn't look too rushed. This film was set back ages ago and you can see the Bollywood culture For an example, when Jaidev Verma puts Sangeeta down to sleep in the same room as him. Jaidev moves across the room to lay down when in a Hollywood or British film, he would have sex with her. 

Resident Evil Deconstruction

                  Resident Evil Deconstruction


Genre:

The genre of the film i think is a  thriller/horror. The reasons why i think this is because special effects are used through-out the film. For example, when the main character Milla Jovoich who plays Alice fly's in the air to stop the zombies attacking her. Visual effects were used when laser's were slicing the characters in half. The reason i think this genre is a thriller/horror is because of graphics were used which made me jump. Graphics were used when the zombie dogs were trying to attack the main character. The film was very gory, there was blood shown through-out the film. Sound was used to build suspense and tension.

Production Context

Resident Evil is a Hollywood film. I know this because of the location, props, cast used in the film. All Hollywood films have high budgets compared to British films and Bollywood films. I know this because they have extreme explosions in Hollywood films and have famous actors and actresses to play the characters so viewers would go watch the film.

Production Contexts regards to Narrative, Dialogue, Characters and Location?

The characters in the Resident Evil were very professional and very formal. The narrative was clear and it made me believe every part of it. The dialogue was extremely impressive, it made me feel like they knew what they were doing and what they were talking about. The location was mainly important through-out the film. The location was used at all times as the narrative was based in that specific location. The zombies through-out the film were very scary.You could defiantly tell it was a gory film by the way the blood splats everywhere which shows elements of horror. 

Technology used to relate to the production context?

The budget in British films and Bolly-Wood films are not used as much as Holly-Wood films. When watching Resident Evil, you could tell it took a long time to plan and to get everything right. Everything was very detailed especially the graphics. You could see they spent a lot of money on location, props and cast. Stars what people would want to see in action.
