The cabin in the woods

The cabin in the woods 

As you can see the video above I am analysing I am looking at film language. I will be looking at a few things such as:

1. Lighting and colour 
2. Sound 
3. Editing 
4. Camera 
5. Mise-en-scene 

Background 

 Cabin in the woods is a 2012 American horror film. Its a film about five teenagers going for a holiday in a abandoned cabin in the woods. They arrive at the cabin and  realise it's a isolated place and there is no contacted with the out side world. The cellar door flings open. obversely they go down to discover what's down their. They find odd objects down their, one of the women Dana finds a book she reads from it and awakens a zombie family  of deadly killers. That's not all the fiver campers are under observation each and every move they make is monitored.

Cabin in the woods is a typical horror movie its a movie showing the atypical scene of friends going to a holiday to a hunted cabin in the woods and find out something creepy is happening and. the most well known scene in a horror movie " the cellar door opens" which then leads the five individuals wanting to discover what's down there. in the cellar they each find object. Each object symbolizes how each one of them is going to die. in the cellar one of the girls Dana find out that the cottage belonged to a family which all died in the cottage. Dana reads the dairy which unleashed the zombie family. another typical movie. zombies most well know monsters.  three of the friends die leaving two of them.  the movie takes a "BIG" turn over. the two friends find out that this hole holiday is a conspiracy a ritual which is done every year to stop the gods from destroying the world which is why five people are sacrificed. 

 looking at the picture above you can see the cabin. the lighting is very dim it creates the typical haunted house there is trees around it to make it seem more scary and haunted. The way the camera is positioned makes the cabin look more scary because the cabin looks dark you almost cant even see the cabin. one of the main props in the above pictur are the trees and the grass which gives the cabin a hunted look also the darkness of the cabin is really effective. 

through out the movie the lighting is very dark and dull each movement makes the person jump because off the less amount of light is used . it also adds a scary effect.

in the picture above you can see five friends entering the cabin for the first tie this is a typical horror movie scene when few friends enter a hunted cabin all excited. there is low key lighting. there is little light is entering the cabin. through the window and the door. the facial expressions of the characters show that they seem very excited

in the picture above as you can see the lighting is not too dark the man 

makes it seem like he going to help them but in reality he has seems like a very eval figure.
