Theorists Research & Analysis
Kaminsky
Weapons (E.G. Knifes) are a personal extension of our arms and are more Favourable to horror movie killers as the deaths are more personal and intimate than using a gun. Carol Clover Killers in horror tend to have either issues surrounding their childhood (e.g Joe Pratt-Flynn had sociopathic symptoms from early ages, also enjoyed learning about different ways of death can happen, even though this side of Joe Pratt-Flynn's character did not show this within our trailer) Female killers tend to have gender confusion (Mother in Friday the 13th). Sadism- Enjoy inflicting pain onto others. - Because of Joe Pratt- Flynn enjoying inflicting pain on others especially women. Masochism- Enjoy having pain inflicted on themselves. Walls that seem safe and keep the killer out soon become a prison keeping you trapped with the killer. (The front door at the end of our trailer shows this) Wes Craven Murders are seen more frightening when targeting the victim in a safe place, e.g. their homes or work. (Our trailer involves both being targeted at home and work) Saul Bass Saul Bass was an American graphic designer and is best known for his designs of motion picture title sequences, film posters and corporate logos. During his 40 year career, he had worked some of Hollywood's most well known filmmakers, such as Alfred Hitchcock and Otto Preminger. One of Bass' most famous title sequences was the animated paper cut out of a Heroin addict's arm for Preminger's 'The Man with the Golden Arm'. Bass was also responsible for designing some of the most iconic logos in America, such as Quaker Oats and Continental Airlines. Logos like these were used until the companies merged with similar companies, such as when Continental Airlines merged with United Airlines. The average lifespan of a Bass logo was 34 years, which was unusually long lifespan for. Saul Bass also designed movie posters for films such as 'The Shining' (1980), 'Anatomy of a Murder' (1959) and an undistributed poster for 'Schindler's List' (1993). These posters show an artistic talent which doesn't contain much detail, it's all very generic, with only 'The Shining' containing any real detail. Other horror movie theories. Horror movies are a metaphor for absence of parents. - In our trailer we focussed more on the adult age group more than youth to show that no matter what age the victims are, they are still subject to danger.
