Kane Anson Assessment of previous work

In the horror video 'monster' the strengths are that from the start of video, it allows up to build up tension as we think something’s going to happen very soon which scares us but on the other hand there is a weakness. This because at 1minute and 44 seconds in the video we see blood on the wall before the victim has been stabbed and also that I don’t think that the blood on the wall flows in smoothly with the rest of the scenes. The video 'monster' does look like a horror film because it has everything in it what a normal horror film would have for example a victim, a scary character, a build-up of tension etc... In this video there are a range of shots used such as close up's when the butcher is setting the alarm and long shots when the guy across the road is waving by. There is also a good use of rule of thirds as the butcher is constantly in the centre which allows us to constantly focus on him. There is also a good use of mise en scene because everything we see on screen is the only things we need to see. Also through the video there has been no sound which means that less fear has been created.
