Research - Comparing Media Texts





From analysing my own text to a horror movie text i found that the Codes and Conventions where not completly different, expecially in the range of shots that i chose to use. We can see the match on action shots on the left, which are my own creation, and then i found a shot from the horror movie 'Dawn of the Dead', found on the left, where they also used a match on action shot of the hands. This connoted the terror on the real text, whereas in my own the murderer was searching information online. From my research, i found that match on action shots were very common in Horror and Thriller films, as it represents the hecticness of the scene - Dawn of the Dead she is slamming the door to get away from the little girl who has the infection, which makes the shot of the door being locked powerful to the audience as they can understand her fear.
