Doll face is a short horror film which lasted 7:13 minutes. This film is set on Halloween night, where a normal couple are playing chess until someone knocks on the door. This however was normal as it was Halloween. When the guy opens the door he sees a "Dollface". The couple did freak out a bit but then just thought that the person just dressed up really good for Halloween. The "Dollface" had left her purse outside their house and the guy sees it and goes to return it however 4 hours pass and he still doesn't return. The wife goes to look for him in that shop and is found to have got herself stuck in a terrible situation. She finds her husband dead and so tries to escape the shop however any obstacles come in the way to stop her from getting out. The end of a film is left as a cliff hanger so the audience is left thinking whether the wife had died or stays alive.
Effectiveness and why?
Doll face is a very effective film considering it's a short 7 min film. This film has used a lot of different types of camera angles and shots to create different effect. Editing in this film also plays a really important role as it makes the film scarier.
Key conventions?
The key conventions in this film used would be the use of low key lighting and the fact that it's set on Halloween.
Which key aspects of the film I would use and why?
This films time lapse was really good. They moved the movie 4 hours in future without making it obvious. I would use this idea as the film I'm making can only be 5 mins unlike normal horror movies which last at least 90mins.
Improvements?
This films story line did not make sense. There was a lot of confusion with the relationship between the characters.
