Propp's Character Theory

Let The Right One In (2008) Review

                                                 


Let the right one in (2008) is a movie about vampires. It included all the bloody and gory scenes that you would stereotypically find in a vampire film. The storyline is basically about a young boy who is being bullied at school and manages to find comfort in a young girl not knowing she is a vampire. The young girl named Eli becomes the 'final girl' in the movie as she is the last one left to survive. I found it quite surprising that the girl was the superior character who had more authority than the others, Usually it is a male character or someone older who takes this role.
There is a lot of blood in the film and this is common in vampire films as the aim for the vampire is to drink human blood.

Jessable Horror Film Trailer

I decided to watch the 'Jessabelle' horror film trailer. 

The first scene starts in a dark, gloomy corridor where a paralysed girl sits in a wheelchair at the end. This represents isolation and we can tell straight away that she is the main character or the victim as the next camera shot is taken close up and from a high angle which makes her look vulnerable and week.

The house seems like an old antique house which is usually a main theme in horror films that involve some sort of paranormal activity.

I noticed that most of the shots were close up shots. This helps the audience to focus on the subject given in the scene to make us understand what is going on. However it also makes the viewer unaware of what is going on behind the scenes and creates a sense of anticipation.
