Nick Lacey repertoire

The key elements:SettiNG, CHARACTERS, NARRATIVE, ICONOGRAPHY & STYLE

Setting Some genres have a distinct or familiar locations but this can change, as horror films have often moved from the gothic to the suburban areas such as scream. Genres can be associated with realistic society issues for example the success of gangster films during prohibition around 1960-1990. In my opening film, the setting is almost in a dead/silent park, but gives the impression something dark is about to com upon the characters.

Characters: The characters of Nick Laceys repertoire usually involve a hero, villain etc Usually in horror movies, there is a victim (usually a girl) that ends up defeating the villain (psychopathic man), and ends up victorious. In my product, the villain ends up winning, and the girl is the bystander, whilst the boy is the victim. This challenges the ordinary conventions, to show boys/men are also victims in society.

Narrative: According to Lacey, narrative is often what is going on in the plot to make the film appealing or worth watching e.g. car chases, wedding, shoot outs etc Therefore, this refers to the storyline structure, which genres employ to make their product the best. However, in my final product, I followed this element closely, and due to our budget we stuck with stalking and build up of hitting the victim with a bottle.

Iconography: Once again, according to Lacey repertoire of elements, films that contain visual and audio images that instantly becomes recognisable for the audience associated with the genre of the film, makes the film more appealing as it is relevant to the genre e.g. horror films have masks and costumes to show the villain or the hero, or gangster films have Tommy spraying his gun. In my final product, there is a clown, who is preying on a victim after teasing his friend about her fear of clowns.

Style: Lastly by Lacey is style, which is basically the way the product is presented. The camera angles, editing, and the use of colour are also involved into the contribution towards the film. Our product had to relate to our genre, so when editing, we used low-lighting to make our film more horror-like, and build up tension. We used over the shoulder shot, long shots all to show the clown stalking the boy who made fun of being scared of clowns.
