It is a movie that was first created in 1990 and centers around a clown character who’s name is Pennywise. He lives in the sewers and only comes back to the town he haunts every 27 years. He’s extremely scary as he goes around eating so many people in the town and having them disappear. The movie has an original and it’s remake came out in 2017 with a sequel in 2019. Common camera angles are Reverse Shots, Close up, Tracking-pan Shots, Zoom Shots, Wide Shot, Low Angle Shot, Over the shoulder Shot, Hand held Camera Horror, Birds Eye view shot, Cantered Angle. Common Lighting is Uplighting, Silhouette, Spotlighting, Underexposure, Harsh light (hard light, chiaroscuro, Prominent and projected shadow, Shooting through objects (internal frames, Shooting through elements. The common theme among all of these different lighting methods is that they all obscure or distort reality in some way. The suspense and tension that is built during a dramatic and horrifying scene keeps the audience on their toes and coming back for more. Horror films work because of the editors’ efforts and decisions. The horror genre is one place where the editor needs to meticulously work their craft in order to get a desired outcome from the audience. Even better still, a video editor can translate the lessons learned from cutting a horror piece into building dynamic tension into almost any video. In turn, the video editor hooks their audience, grabbing ahold of their attention. Common editing used in this movie is usually fade to black and straight cuts. Fading to black gives a mysterious and tense feel and may make the audience feel at unease. They suggest fear of the unknown giving the audience what they may experience in the film and tell them not everything is right, even when it seems to be. Straight cuts are very basic but allow for fast paced shots and potentially jump scares. Common sound is One unsettling and hidden “sound” that is given credit for freaking out an audience is infrasound—a low-frequency sound that cannot be heard, but literally unsettles human beings down to our bones. Common actors in this movie are Bill Skarsgard who plays pen whose himself. Filling him are the adults and kids that play the ones trying to defeat penny wise.  Some parts of this movie I really enjoyed were how they were able to create such “ugly” scenes portraying pennywise as the monster he is. In the first movie they made a scene where his movie opened so wide before he consumed a kid and I thought that was very good. As well as how they amante to create that fear factor with the music they use and the following of one character at a time seeing what’s going to happen to them. There wasn’t much I didn’t enjoy on these movies however I felt that in the beginning they could created a bit more character attachment to Georgie the little boy that dies first in order for the Kids to discover pennywise and defeat him.
