Action film for kids
Sound:
There was non-diegetic sound, this being the narrative voiceover and the upbeat empathetic soundtrack which was created in the studio with hired musicians. There was also diegetic sound to accompany this for example background noise and characters speaking to each other. Sound effects were added duing the editing process when scooby and shaggy burp and when daffny jumps and flips.
Cinematography:
Near the beginning there was a high angle on a nasty looking object to make it appear bad, however making us feel as if we can over come it because it is weaker than us as the audience. Also throughout the whole of the trailer it is a montage of short clips which help introduce the characters and the story line. Panning is used frequently through the clips so the audience can see the surroundings of where the characters are making them feel more involved and as if they are there too.
Editing:
At the beginning there are titles to introduce the film which have been edited to match the mood with an ominous green glow. They also use titles to introduce the characters names so the children watching can familiarise them self's with eh charters even more and it also helps develop the children's reading if they are really little. They also use shot- reverse - shot to show the characters having conversations using teh 180 degree rule. This makes the conversation easier to follow because we can see what the characters are saying and is linear so children can understand easily.
Mise-en-scene:
- props
They use many props so they can enhance images of the characters and the monsters. Also the monsters can look more scary to children if they have an ominous prop for example the flame torch the ghost had in the clip.
-costume
The costumes are very bright and specific to each character as they are trying to match the bright animated cartoon.
- lighting
Out side is natural lighting also when its dark they use fire for lighting to make it look spooky. When they are in doors the lighting is quite artificial because the room and the characters are well lit.
- make up
The make up is really over the top again to give the similarity between the real people and the cartoon people they are mimicking.
- setting
The set is in a creepy holiday camp which you can see in a studio so we know the set has been made specially for the film
-colour
The colours are bright for all the heros and dark for the villains so kids can determine between the good and bad characters. Also the set is dark and spooky when something bad is lurking and is bright and colourful when everybody is happy.
special effects:
Prostetics are used on the monsters to create a more unrealistic and scary look so children again can determine between the good and bad characters. They used Pyrotechnics when the ghost blows fire at shaggy. Wire work was used when Daffny filped to make her look professional and awesome.
