Mainstream Production companies

Paramount

Paramount Pictures Corporation is an American film and television production/distribution company, located at 5555 Melrose Avenue in Hollywood. Founded in 1912 and currently owned by media conglomerate Viacom, it is America's oldest existing film studio; it is also the last major film studio still headquartered in the Hollywood district of Los Angeles. Paramount is consistently ranked as one of the largest (top-grossing) movie studios. Paramount Pictures can trace its beginning to the creation in May 1912 of the Famous Players Film Company. Founder Hungarian-born Adolph Zukor who had been an early investor in nickelodeons, saw that movies appealed mainly to working-class immigrant. With partners Daniel Frohman and Charles Frohman he planned to offer feature-length films that would appeal to the middle class by featuring the leading theatrical players of the time (leading to the slogan "Famous Players in Famous Plays"). By mid-1913, Famous Players had completed five films, and Zukor was on his way to success.

DreamWorks

DreamWorks Animation is an American film studio which develops, produces, and distributes films, video games and television programming. It has produced or distributed more than ten films with box-office grosses totaling more than $100 million each.
Although the studio also made traditionally animated films about serious subjects earlier, such as The Prince of Egypt, Joseph: King of Dreams, The Road to El Dorado, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, and Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas, most of their computer-generated films and television series have now gained the studio a reputation for being focused on humor and satire although their most successful recent franchises have it balanced with more dramatic narratives. On October 12, 1994, DreamWorks SKG was formed and founded by a trio of entertainment players, director and producer Steven Spielberg, music executive David Geffen, and former Disney executive Jeffrey Katzenberg.

New studio has attracted many artists from Spielberg's animation studio. The first joined in 1995, when the last feature was completed,  and the rest came in 1997, when the studio had shut down.

Psycho essay

Psycho is a thriller/horror film directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Psycho was made in 1960 and set in Phoenix, Arizona. Psycho is a film still talked about today.
   Psycho starts with the credits coming rather jolty, like a stabbing movement this shows it is a thriller/horror film. Whilst they are coming in the music we can hear a load, screeching noise. The film starts with an aerial shot of the town then zooms in on a window. It then has an interment two shot, during this two shot the blinds are closed showing that we should not being watching it or may be a relationship with a lot of secrets. There is diegetic sound and non-diegetic as Sam is talking to Marion there is a soft deep tone in the background. Whilst Sam is talking to marine there is a lot of cross-cutting this creates a bit of tension, again maybe a relationship with secrets. On her way to work Marion actually passes Hitchcock, this could mean she is always being watched. When Marion is shown the money she gets a confused look on her face. During this scene we are always looking in from an over the shoulder view so it’s like the audience are in the room. When Marion puts the money down on her bed the camera then does a close up on the money the connotation is how we know by this shot that the money is going to play a major part in the rest of the film, and is taking control of her,  we also see a packed suitcase. The music in the background makes it like the money and the suitcase isn’t a good idea.
      The next time we see Marion whilst she is in her car. It is all calm until she sees her boss, the music then suddenly jumps in with non-diegetic noise and we are then made to feel this journey is a bad idea. The scene then crosses from a rural area with a lot of people to a quite country side. Marion is then waked up by a policeman whilst she’s sleeping in her car and is integrated by him. There is a close up of the police man and then an extreme close up, Hitchcock has done this to intimidate Marion and us.  The police man shows authority before he has even said anything as he is wearing blacked out glasses with no emotions on his face. Marion acts very suspiciously and seems to be nervous.  The police man just like the audience suspects some things going on and follows Marion. He is led to a car garage. When she is there is an over the shoulder shot where she has the garage and police man either side of her so the connotation of her being trapped. Marion seems very nervous and scared and when speaking to the salesmen she is urgent, when she is talking to the salesmen the lighting is very interesting, she is in the dark for the majority and he is in the light, this shows everything Marion has done since she has had the money has been bad. Marion also decides to exchange her car and counts out the necessary cash from the $40,000 in the ladies’ rest room. Here Hitchcock uses the first of series creative ‘mirror’ shots to emphasise the duplicity of her actions
    Once Marion has bought the car and lost the cop she carries on her journey. We then have a point of view shot of the rain heavily falling on the front window, this makes it seem that she is not in control. She then takes an unwanted stop at a dark, creepy motel.  She asks for a room of a man who runs the motel. He a first seems nice but as he speaks more he seems to get a bit weird.  He asks her to sign in, as she does she hesitates and signs in with a false last name. As she does this the theme of double identity and reflected image is then continued Marion tries to deceive Norman by signing in with a false name, as we can see Marion in the mirror once again. When Norman, the owner of motel gets Marion a key, he starts with his hand hovering over 3 then 2 and finally chooses 1. This makes him seem strange and we as an audience wonder what is behind the room number, or has Hitchcock done this for it to be a countdown of her life.
   Marion then joins Norman for supper and he takes her into his office, in his office are a lot of stuffed birds. This is quite strange and once again we worry about this mysterious motel owner. A good shot down by Hitchcock is a low angle of Norman with a stuffed eagle behind him. An eagle is a predator, relating to Norman.  Norman and Marion start to talk and Normans Mother, Every time she is brought up Norman learns forward, once again Hitchcock making us wonder who and what has happen in Norman’s life. That scene showed the characters are trapped, Marion is trapped in a relationship going nowhere, Norman seems to be trapped by his mother, and Normans stuffed birds trapped as mounted trophies and Marion’s guilt for stealing the money.
  When Marion leaves to go back to her room Norman removes a picture from the wall. He looks through the hole he was cut the wall of Cabin 1, we see a profile of his eyes staring at Marion undressing, then a cut to a direct POV shot, of Marion undressing – we have become Norman, the voyeur. Explaining his choice for choosing room 1.
  We then see Marion get in the shower. The shower is lit up and is a personal place, Hitchcock puts us in a place we shouldn’t be. We see a shadow creep up through the shower curtain, the person has blurred out face which is strange as the bathroom was lit up before we could see the killer. Hitchcock may have done this to keep us guessing. The killer then stabs Marion, we see this but yet no more of the killer. The music starts to slow down, just like her heartbeat. There is then a couple of great camera shots, first of the blood running the drain, then the extreme close up of her eye. These shots show how all of Marion’s of running away to start a new life has ended before it has even started.
   When we next see Norman he is dressed in all black, could this be related to Marion’s murder. He is interviewed by a detective who tries to trick Norman to revealing Marion’s whereabouts. There is construct battle between men and woman, there is a power struggle between Norman and the detective, Every time we see Norman he is chewing gum this is a sign of nervousness. Arbogast the detective who knows Norman is not explaining everything, so goes to check out the suspicious house where Norman’s mother is living. As he walks up the stairs he is stabbed by a figure that seems to be the mother. We see this from a bird’s eye view, if this was the mother it shows the strong minded female as got a hold over Norman.
   We then see Norman carry his mother down the stairs. We are then confused as for every time the mother is from a high angled shot, maybe this is relating  to Normans love for birds as we are seeing a bird’s eye view.   
Marion’s sister and her lover visit the motel to find out what’s going on. When they meet Norman there is another case of false identities as Lila and Sam pretend to be married. When Lila, Marion’s sister is exploring Mr’s Bates room and scares herself in her own reflection.  Hitchcock uses the ‘mirror’ motif to underline our basic narcissistic voyeurism.
   Lila is then rushed into deciding to go into the cellar where she finds Mr’s Bates, the body of Mr’s Bates is a skeleton looking straight at Marion’s sister. The empty eye sockets of Norman’s mother’s stuffed corpse are made to ‘see’ her sons attack on Lila and his eventual capture by the effect of moving shadows  created in them by swinging light bulbs.
 Norman then rushes in to our surprise dressed as his mother with a knife about to kill Lila. This shows how Norman was both him and his mother, like a schizophrenic. The last part of the film is with Norman, who is locked away at the police station. He talks to himself in his head, but in a women’s voice which obviously is his mother. This means although he has been caught there is still a part of his mother inside of him
  Overall I think the reprehensive of gender is very strong throughout psycho, and Hitchcock uses many methods to display this

Alfred Hitchcock

Alfred Hitchcock
Sir Alfred Joseph Hitchcock, 13 August 1899 – 29 April 1980 was a British film director and producer.

He pioneered many techniques in the suspense and psychological thriller genres. After a successful career in his native United Kingdom, Hitchcock moved to Hollywood. In 1956 he became an American citizen, while remaining a British subject.

Over a career spanning more than half a century, Hitchcock fashioned for himself a distinctive and recognizable directorial style. Many of Hitchcock's films have twist endings and thrilling plots featuring violence, murder and crime.

Hitchcock directed more than fifty feature films in a career spanning six decades. Often regarded as the greatest British filmmaker. He pioneered the use of a camera made to move in a way that mimics a person's gaze, forcing viewers to engage in a form of voyeurism.




Psycho

Psycho is a 1960 American psychological thriller film directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring Janet Leigh and Anthony Perkins. The film is based on the screenplay by Joseph Stefano, who adapted it from the 1959 novel of the same name by Robert Bloch. The novel was loosely inspired by the crimes of Wisconsin murderer and grave robber Ed Gein

Psycho initially received mixed reviews, but outstanding box office returns prompted a re-review which was overwhelmingly positive and led to four Academy Award nominations. Psycho is now considered one of Hitchcock's best films and is highly praised as a work of cinematic art by international critics. The film spawned two sequels, a prequel, a remake, and a television movie spin-off. In 1992, the film was selected to be preserved by the Library of Congress at the National Film Registry.

The grudge

The grudge was presented by Daryl Meadows. The grudge has a wide variety of; Mise en scene, camera, sounds and editing.

He began the video at 3:20. The grudge was made in 2004 and was directed by Takashi Shimizu. The credits come in and are red and black, this related to death so already we know the film is a dark mysterious horror. The first interaction with a character is when we see a young Chinese girl riding a bike out of a dark shadow, maybe related to the darkness of the grudge. We see her riding through many places, they have used editing, jump cut and match on action to show her journey in the space of 20 seconds. This saves time and doesn’t bore the audience.

The house she arrives at is over ground un kept. This shows us that there is little life inside and gives the effect it’s not a nice place. There are a lot of good camera angles during the opening, the camera pans as she enters the house. There is an old woman in the house who seems to be ill. The house is also in a state and maybe this links to the old woman. Both the younger woman and the older one are wearing blue, this could be a sign they have both similar pasts. There is then a unusual her from a low angle, which should make her more intimidating but knowing that she is quite scared doesn’t make us feel intimidated. It then pans giving the effect that a creature is watching her, the sound then becomes high pitched and gives an eerie effect.

There is a long pause between shots, this builds tension. It also makes her seem venerable and powerless, also as she is in a small space it makes her seem trapped. The attic is a typical scary and mysterious, it has many cob webs and is very dark. This again implies something back is going to happen. Her lighter flickers may be showing it is coming to an end, like her. The sound used in this scene is very ghostly and makes us tense as we now know she is in danger. Without the sound in this scene it would not be half as affective. The sound makes us know her feelings and part of the future

Silent hill

Silent hill was presented by Georgia, Akshay, Catherine and Emma. Silent Hill is a modern film and the group made some good points on; Mise-en-scene, camera, sounds and editing.

Silent Hill was made in 2006 and directed by Christophe Gans and written by Roger Avary.
The film started with non- diagetic played by a piano, whilst the credits came in. The setting and music immediately tells us it is an Horror/Thriller film.

In the opening of the film we see a mother and father concerned about their adopted daughter. The daughter has been experiencing nightmares and sleepwalking while screaming the name of a town, "Silent Hill". The opening begins with a low angled close up of a women, this how’s she we have a large part to play in the rest of the film. But the father on the other hand was in darkness which could tell the us that he wasn't a particularly significant character in the film and was other looked a lot. Both the daughter and mother are wearing blue this could show there strong bong.

When she is walking through the forest you can hear the sound effects of birds and trees. The group made a good point that you don’t take any notice to it when it’s in daylight but when it’s at night it it’s a different story, this mystery adds tension.

The daughter then starts to sleep walk, and the same music from the game starts to play, relating the film to the game. There are deep notes in the background music like a choir, maybe like there praying for their child. The lighting used is very effective and gives a different view on each of the characters e.g. The mother is surrounded in red lighting symbolizing danger and death. The daughter is covered by white light, maybe like she’s innocent or like a blank canvas and doesn’t know what’s going on.

The ring

The ring was presented by Luke Papworth. The ring shows a wide range of mise-en-scene, camera angles, sound and editing.

The film opens with a view of dark clouds moving across the sky quickly. This could represent how quick time is going. We then watch them go in to a dark deep forest, like they are trapped. The lighting is very clever now as it is red maybe like she is staring death in the face.

We see the woman in an isolated house and almost every shot has the telephone in. By doing this it makes a normal object seem scary, as the voice on the telephone told them they had a week to live. The man in the house then loses it and starts to smash everything up, this tells us he’s fed up and doesn’t want to have anything to do with this anymore. This scene shows how the ring can destroy lives. The camera then focus’ on the women for a lot showing her facial expressions and her vulnerability, when the man is out of focus in the back ground. There is also a lot of use of dark and light showing the fine line between alive and dead. Whilst the man is braking things he lot of small marbles go underneath the rug, this means there is something controlling them underneath the floor. This is where the music starts to become more upbeat and gets louder. They then smash the floor to find a deep dark secret.

There is a deep dark pit underneath the floor boards, like a gateway to hell. We see the t.v fly across the room in a low angle, again making a normal house hold object look dominant. The t.v basically kills the women as she is pushed in too deep pit, this relates to the start when she is watching the film.

The silence of the lambs

This was my group who talked about Silence of the lambs. In my group was Toby Harvey, Ben Bowen and Dom Simmons. We looked Mise-en-scene, camera angles, sound and editing.The Silence of the Lambs is a 1991 American thriller film that blends elements of the crime and horror genres.  It was directed by Jonathan Demme.
The film won five major Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Actress , Best Actor, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay.

The opening scene began as an establishing shot of the forest with the credits and names of actors in the film appearing in a bold font. The camera then goes on to perform a tracking camera movement of the main women like she’s being chased. There is a lot of fog which could mean its unclear and the murders may be hard to figure out later on in the film or to imply it’s early and autumn. We also know this from the crunch of the leaves made as she runs.

We then see a close up on the woman, she looks determined and like a hard worker as the sweats on the face shows shes been running or a long time. The music then gets quicker and deeper and we see a view of her through the trees. This could show that she is running from something and where she is going. We then realise she is doing an assault courses, as she climbs up the rope the light shines down on her face, like she has completed it her and her joy it is over, or how she is a strong minded person.

We then then took it to another scene where the woman who is an FBI agent visits a jail. She enter the jail with a large red light covering her and bars covering her face, this could represent what she is about to do is bad. When the bars enter there is a beeping noise almost like a countdown, when she enters the bars close behind her making a loud noise, maybe meaning there is no way out. When she is walking down the jail we can only hear her footsteps, this makes the audience feel like they shouldn’t be there, or that she is vulnerable.

When she has got to the end of the jail, there is a man standing there waiting for her in his cell. He seems to be the most controlled, yet he was protective glass instead of bars showing his danger. Whenever he is asked a question, he answers back with a question himself so that he avoids answering, this could show he is hiding something or is trying to trick the young FBI agent.

Hide and seek

Hide and seek was presented by Ellie, Abbie and Hannah. They expressed all four elements and gave good explanations or their choices.

The first thing we hear is the non-diagetic sound of the music, the music is like a childish song and links to the title as hide and seek is a child’s game. The film starts with an extreme close up of a young girl with her doll on a park ride. This is another link to the name as it is relating to children again. The costumes of the mother change from her being with her family park to her house. She was wearing white showing how she was enjoying life, when she was trapped in the house she was in a black dress to show depression.

There was a lot of relation to red in her house like her red accessories and her red wine, this could represent death. When then see the mother joking around with her daughter tucking her in bed and wishing her good night. We see the mother in the bath and we can hear a dripping tap, this adds tension.

When the father wakes up we can still hear the tap. As he walks towards the bathroom we see him from a low angle looking up at him. When he opens up the sheet to find her dead in the bath it then changes to slow motion to show it is a key moment. We can see the young girl at the back  and a faint nursery rhyme in the back ground this relates to the start of the film.

in the back ground this relates to the start of the film.  

Terminator 2

The first scene I have decided to analysis in Terminator 2 is the first time we come across Sarah O’Connell. The scene starts with a close up on a sign which reads in bold writing ‘Pescadero State Hospital’ so it tells us we are about to enter the hospital. It then zooms out and we see big silver fencing with barbed surrounding it and a red stop sign on the fence, this gives the effect that we shouldn’t be here and there are things we shouldn’t see, so has mystery to it.  We then see a window that has been secured with metal fencing, we now know we are inside the hospital and how big their security is. The camera moves towards Sarah O’Connell and you can hear quite muscular groans, the camera then shows Sarah O’Connell doing pull ups, put her hair is covering her faces. I feel this shows mystery, the camera then draws our attention by closing in on Sarah O’Connell its ask us to focus on her arms that are showing her muscles and strength and I feel her determination. You can see the sweat on her arms which could be a sign of hard work.  The lighting is on her arms which is another sign of James Cameron wanting us focus on them. The camera when zooms out into a long shot showing all of Sarah and her room. She has moved her bed to create a way to do pull ups, which could be a sign of her knowledge. The room is all white which to me shows there is nothing fun or exciting going on her life it is all dull and boring.

  It then cuts from Sarah and her room to a corridor with a man speaking about Sarah calling her a schizophrenic. You can see Police officers holding other patients. It then cuts again to Sarah O’Connell doing pull ups and it’s a close up on her face this time, the lighting Is on her face. Another scene were the lighting is effective is when Sarah has visitors. She has yet to show her face and when she turns around still have hair over her face the light is behind her. Even though so far she seems to be scary, the lighting has always been on her maybe showing that’s she’s actually good and shouldn’t be in here. When Sarah talks she is always breathing heavily this creates tension and has her hands on her hip this shows she is strong and dominant. When visitors are looking through at Sarah it makes her look like an animal at a zoo.
 
   We next see Sarah when she is in an interview room smoking a cigarette. She seems to be in shock as she is shaking, her hair still over her face and looks pale which could be under nutrition. Un like earlier when she talks she now talks in a hushed tone so maybe she was angry earlier.  The scene when she in the interview is a good example of a two shot. When she is told she is to stay at the hospital for another 6 months, Sarah then jumps on the table and grabs Dr Silberman by the neck once again showing her strength, she is then ripped off him by security, this could show the strength of genders as they are all males.

The second scene I have decided to analysis is the end one when they enter the warehouse for the ‘final battle’. It starts with T-1000 being frozen and the Terminator standing up, loading his gun, at this time there is a backing music and a slight drum role. The camera then closes up on the terminator and you can see his gun and the cuts on his face, this shows hes strength with the gun and brave with the cuts on his face. He then says ‘hasta la vista baby’ this is an iconic part of the film. ‘hasta la vista’ means good bye as he is going to kill, and the ‘baby’ may have been added because he wasn’t any match for the terminator. When he shoots him he breaks and sounds and looks like glass. As they all enter the ware house you can see the fire but always blurred in the back ground to give the effect they are near death. On the fight scene between the Terminator and T-1000 they is a lot of red and blue likes indicating danger, there is also a lot of camera changes, changing from close up to long shots. When Sarah O’Connell battles T-1000 the music builds it up till T-1000 stabs Sarah and all you can hear is her pain.

  When the Terminator saves Sarah he once again goes in to a fight with T-1000 and is pushed to a lower level, I think this has been done to show his dominance, by being the ‘bigger’ man. The camera then draws our attention by going close up on the Terminators face, at this point half his face has be destroyed showing his red eye. This is reminds us he is a robot and not human, we are being asked to focus on his gun from and over shoulder shot. When he is stabbed electricity jumps out of him, the bolts look like they are going to come out the screen as we are close up when it happens.

  An affective point of this scene Is the extreme close up on the Terminators eye when it glows red again, the camera then goes into a point of view shot. All the Terminator can see is in red maybe once again showing danger. The terminator then comes back to life and the Camera then goes into slow motion and Sarah and her son dive to the slow, and the camera then focus’ on the Terminator who we can only see his red eye, shoots T-1000 who stands out as the fire is in the back ground. I think the director used slow motion as it builds up tension and is a good effect. It symbolizes that it is an important moment. When he is shot, T-1000 splits in half and the light reflects offs his silver insides. The noise he makes is like an animal, once again telling us he is far from human.

   He then falls into the fire and our screen is covered at oranges whites and yellows. Once again slow motion is used and you it is like can feel the heat from the fire. The camera then closes up on Sarah her hair still covering her face like the first scene, this could show she’s still being mysterious. After all the fighting and hatred there is a scene that shows love, the Terminator about to kill himself and Sarah’s son doesn’t want him to go giving him a hug. Another iconic shot is when there is an over the shoulder shot from the Terminator and Sarah’s son is crying and the Terminators hand wipes away the tear, this maybe could be showing the Terminator feels love as well. The Terminator then gets on the chains and says ‘good bye’ through all the time hes going down you can always hear the chains. There is a contrast as this times they are looking down on the hero, the smoke gently blurring him out of sight. As soon as the Terminator hits the fire the music gets louder. The last thing we see of the Terminator is a point of view shot, once again in red, it then fades out showing us he had died.
