Textual Analysis

The main focus of my film is a chase/escape sequence between my protagonist and antagonist so I have been looking at similar sequences from famous horror films to find effects I could use during the production of my own film.

The first sequence I looked at is from: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, 2003, directed by Marcus Nispel.
In this sequence props are used to disorientate the character whilst he is trying to escape his attacker.

The sheets often obscure the camera which is a very odd choice by the director but it successfully disorientates the audience which puts them in the place of the both the character and the attacker.

This particular chase sequence occurs during the day which is unusual for a horror film and therefore goes against typical horror conventions, normally the darkness/ lack of lighting would be used to isolate the character by limiting how much they can see. The sheets serve that purpose in this sequence showing that even by twisting typical conventions you can achieve the same effects and that when props are used well they can help achieve the desired response from your audience.
