Movie Research Blog: The Black Phone

Hi everyone! The movie I chose is called the Black Phone. It is a horror film that is known to have moments in which the audience feel themselves at the edge of their seats, The elements that fit with my final task are things such as the lighting, editing, acting, and so on. Both film are made to highlight the resiliency of youth, it is a serial killer horror film that also fits with my film in ways that it has a scary sense of realism. The movie also has a designated color palate and aesthetic. These key factors will also take place within my film, my color palate will match within characters and the aesthetic with me the eerie atmosphere of a tragedy with a nasty secret, hidden with privilege. The film uses moments of cross fading which will also be used within my film. The also use a fast pace will I well be using in the film near the middle. Along with the main villain in the Black Phone my character, will also have an unsettling spilt-like instability. The movie has many elements that I liked. I love the explanation, and plot of the storyline as it brings. I love the way the movie brings in the plot and keeps it consistent. Parts of the that did not appeal to me was the makeup and time line as it does not fit with mine and the makeup just does not feel real. I did not like the location and timeline as I feel like a lot of horror movies have this same exact cliche and situation. I believe that the excitation of the ending was something i want to carry out into my own film. The intensity was something i thing holds the audience at their feet. The pace and the back and fourth is something I want to show between my own main characters. Overall the movie taught me a lot of do's and don'ts. That is all, I cant wait to go into this project. Till next time! \
