Notes I took from watching the extract:
- Costume - Waistcoat, old fashioned clothing,
- Setting - Woods, forests
- Props - Cage, ropes, gun, sword, werewolf
In the extract from Van Helsing, there is a large wolf with shows Gothic Horror clearly, this is a big part of the scene as it is what the scene is based on. I believe that using the were wolf is effective because it looks realistic which may scare members of the audience. The extract was filmed in the forest as that is stereo-typically the natural habitat for a wolf. The clip I selected attracts peoples attention as the audience see something interesting and they want to see more.
In the extract I selected from Van Helsing the costume was a key theme in the clip, the costume which the characters was wearing was old fashioned. For example, they was wearing waistcoats with with buttons on which reminds me of a pirates clothing, as there is floaty shirts, with waistcoats and all the characters have long wavy hair, usually hair would be matted and untidy due to them not being able to go back to their homes and wash correctly due to hunting. This could represent that they aren't able to receive haircuts as they are in the forest.

In this extract, the director has focused on the wolf as it is the key feature of the clip which I selected from the film. It shows the Gothic Horror genre, as it is focusing on an animal which look like it has the ability to kill. I director may have wanted the audience to focus on the animal more than the characters as it may be the main character within the film.
