In Fear
The genre of this film is a thriller-horror, this is obvioous by how the tension was built up by using the music, auido, long waits, jump scares, screams and suddern changes in level of sound. The film was shot at night like mopst horrors as the dark gives a much more eerie effect as nobody knows what's in the dark so this gives the fear of the unknown.
The production context for this film is British, this is easy to tell by seeing the actors used to play the roles (Their acting style and their accents), locations used (farm, woodland and a typical British pub), the equipment used was quite end equipment but still not like top Hollywood equimpment. The narrative of the film had a very typical British feel, the couple in the film didn't seem to get on that greatly and the film didn't show much romance between them, this was a big difference it had to Bollywood films. The film also had a lack of CGI but brilliant jump scares, Hollywood films tend to go over the top with CGI, this for me gave the film a much more realistic feelas there was none/ barely any CGI and the narrative of this film could actually happen unlike the other two zombies films we watched (World War Z and Rise of the zombie).
The three stars acting in this film haven't really been in many huge films and wouldn't be too regonisable but still these actors were very good and played their roles exelently. It British films I would say it's a lot easier for great actors to do well as it seems like being a big name doesn't great someone a role straight away and actors who have never been heard of can have an equal chance getting the part.
The narrative was easily related to being British as the storyline was quite dark at times without going over the top and had no cheeseyness to it. The dialog used was classic for a British film as there was a bit of slang and bad language, this is very typical to see in a British film. The weather, narrative and genre helped communicate the production context as well as the dialog did.
The technology was at a good standard, a lot better than the standard seen in Bollywood films but just a little behind the standrad seen in Hollywood films. Hollywood films usually use so much CGI to make it more entertaining to the viewer but British and Bollywood films usually won't be able to do this as their budget wouldn't allow them to. British films don't usually need a lot of special effets as they have other ways of gettaround it. The actors used for this film were not that well known and hadn't been in much else which is a good indecation that this is British as for Hollywood and Bollywood as they like to use big stars for their films that the audience would recognise.
Again like the others you have shown you understand the production context you just need to make sure you are a lot more formal in the way you write to hit that merit level. You use techniques that are informal which are not suited for this assignment because it does not get your points across clear enough. These 3 posts on production context have put you at a pass for GC2 so well done.
