DRACULA REVISITED- THE MEDIA MAGAZINE
The Hammer Films only first started to become popular in the 1950s because of their bold and melodramatic version of horror. It is very different to the subtle hollywood classics that it came after. Hammer made lots of remakes of classics during his filing period - like Frankenstein (1957) and Dracula (1958). He used heavy makeup and a strong gothic atmosphere that some critics loved, whilst others hated. His films mixed horror with romance, fantasy and even comedy - and nowadays his melodramatic style doesn’t seem very scary.
SHELTER ADVERT
I chose to watch this video because it made me feel compassionate for them. The fact that Shelter uses a vulnerable person, such as a ‘mother’ is conventional to charity advertising as it makes it obvious for the audience to understand that this is a character who needs help. The fact that it was a series of clips of the mother and the faceless daughter, shows how the people in the video aren’t the only ones who go through this experience and it can happen to anyone. The charity uses a voiceover of the mother explaining their situation and how it has impacted her daughters life.
