Killing Someone Effectively
It is evident from the picture that there are many simple strategies in order to kill a victim. However by not doing these steps can lead to an unsuccessful killing which is not to be intended. For example, having a close up will ruin the whole incident as it allows the audience to see the minor details and see how unrealistic the death of the actor actually is.
These effective elements can determine how the sequence is portrayed when trying to kill someone. Without these techniques, it would fail to engage the audience as the killing would most likely be to look fake and perhaps 'ameture'. However, by blogging about these significant strategies can help us to avoid using anything that may have a negative impact when trying to make an opening to a horror.

When we were expierencing how to kill someone, we were shown how to do this without the camera showing that the actor is not actually killing the victim in the film. Its all about angles with stabbing, because without it, the audience would be able to see that they're not actually killing them, and then it would look absolute rubbish and the audience would just think that they havn't really put any effort into their filmming. From above is Matt's Blog on where the angles come in. We wactched the opening to 'Scream' to get this idea, we watched it back in slow motion and clip by clip to see that, that is what they are doing.
You also need sound, mainly a crunching sound, to let the audience know that the weapon has peirced its way into the victim's torso. Or maybe a sound where it sounds as though a sword is being pulled out of a pirates pocket, this sound shows that the weapon has gone through the victims body very fast.
Now, in films, you are not allowed to see the victim being killed, in other words you are not allowed to actually see, an axe go into somebody elses head. You only have to make the audience believe that the victim has been killed, so you could have one scene where you see the axe, the you see something knocked over by the axe, and thren afterwards, you could see the axe in the victims head. Its a main rule of horror.
