The Prelim - Ugliest Jumper Ever

The Preliminary Exercise

This is our preliminary exercise, which we called Ugliest Jumper Ever. The aim was to create a sequence demonstrating good continuity techniques, and had to show match on action, shot/reverse-shot, and the 180-degree rule. The brief stated that it had to be 30 seconds long, and comprise of a character opening a door, crossing a room, and sitting down in a chair opposite another character with whom s/he exchanges a few lines of dialogue.

Horror Films

Horror Films I've Seen

Psycho (Alfred Hitchcock, 1960)

I Am Legend (Francis Lawrence, 2007)

Shaun of the Dead (Edgar Wright, 2004)
Final Destination 2 (David R. Ellis, 2003)

Final Destination (James Wong, 2000)

Sleepy Hollow (Tim Burton, 1999)

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (Kenneth Brannagh, 1994)

The Ring (Gore Verbinski, 2002)

Misery (Rob Reiner, 1990)

Saw (James Wan, 2004)
Ok, it's not many, but it's more than I'd thought I'd seen :D I've chosen images from each film that I feel show some of the scariest/most disturbing moments or themes, e.g. Samara climbing out of the well, from The Ring, the Headless Horseman (but with his head...) from Sleepy Hollow, and of course the infamous sledgehammer scene from Misery, where Annie Wilkes "hobbles" Paul Sheldon by breaking his ankles. I also chose an image of the really creepy puppet from Saw, which originated with Saw's origins as a short film and delivers the rules of the 'game' to the victim.
