Summer Work for IB Film

During the summer, I will watch "The Exorcist" and "Psycho", due to the fact that I will need to analyze these two movies for my independent research. Besides these two, I'll probably be watching short movies to help me for my final movie and watch a certain genre to become more aware of the techniques used.
Then, I'll choose my role in the film, which will probably be scriptwriter, editor or director, based on my preferences at that time. After this, I'll choose who will be in my group.

Independent Research

My documentary will be the study about the effect of sounds and/or music (the soundtrack) in horror films. It will reveal how this can imply different meanings, set the mood and control the viewers’ feelings throughout a film, making the director have complete control over the emotional resonance felt in the audience. The case studies which will help me to analyze and support my theory will be “The Exorcist” (1973) and “Psycho” (1960), both of which are widely recognized as classic horror films and contain powerful and shocking sounds and music.
