Media Research on Redneck and Backwoods Horror movies:
Movie No.1: Texas chainsaw massacre (2013 remake).
Things I learned:
Teenagers are the victims.
Its set out in the countryside away from urban areas and people.
House is full of hidden secrets, which makes the audience more involved
with the movie.
The victims do not know the area, indicating the audience that they can
feel insecure and unsafe.
The main characters are on holiday
The Antagonists investigate builds tension and shows danger to the audience.

This shows how isolated the characters are reducing the amount of hope of them escaping
This shows that the only way the antagonists can only hide and run away from the protagonist because
they haven't got anything to fight back with.
2nd Movie: Hills have Eyes ( 1 and 2)

What I Have learnt:
The scenes are abandoned
There is only a small amount of people throughout the movie
The creatures stay mostly in the shadows so where they cant be
seen
they kidnap people slowly so its less noticeable and builds tention
in the plot.
Showing flashbacks of the past shows that in modern day that the mutated creatures could still be there.

This scene shows how isolated the people get stuck in and also shows the loneliness of the setting.
having one of the creatures turn around to show their face can give information to the audience about
what happened to them and can also inform them of the danger the people are in by the sudden
reaction.
Movie 3: Dying Breed
![Page 5: Assign 6: Individual Research (Steven - redneck and backwoods)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030402/587496861a28abfc5f8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What I learnt:
the townsfolk don’t give a lot away to the tourists
There are different settings that are abandoned or have people living there.
The townsfolk don’t like people coming and exploring their 'territory'
the Close up of this woman shows that things aren't right when they're in the town.
![Page 6: Assign 6: Individual Research (Steven - redneck and backwoods)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030402/587496861a28abfc5f8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
when the protagonist shows the shackles it can show the audience that the tourists are not welome an
they're going to be taken as prisoners.
showing this short cut in the trailer can show the audience that the townsfolk aren't 'normal' and can
indicate to the audience that there is danger and killing in this movie.

Movie 4: Eden Lake
What I have learnt in this movie:
the youth is represented negatively in this movie
Its abandoned with only a few people close by
the victims are people that don’t know the area
The setting at night can also add more danger to the movie and can add danger to it.
![Page 8: Assign 6: Individual Research (Steven - redneck and backwoods)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030402/587496861a28abfc5f8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
having a close up of the antagonist with a fearsome facial expression can show some retaliation towards
the protagonists.

With the close up of the sat nav saying 'turn around' foreshadows that something bad is going to
happen.
Movie 5: Deliverance
What I have learnt:
the setting is abandoned apart from a small group of people
The antagonists try to escape back to civilization
they get hunted down by the protagonists.
![Page 10: Assign 6: Individual Research (Steven - redneck and backwoods)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030402/587496861a28abfc5f8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The longshot shows danger and also shows that the two men are in the middle of no where.

having a man armed with a weapon indicates to the audience that there is danger in the movie.
![Page 12: Assign 6: Individual Research (Steven - redneck and backwoods)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030402/587496861a28abfc5f8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
showing the antagonists covering up a body shows that there is some secrecy involved during the film.
Movie 6: southern comfort
what I've learnt:
its about survival of the fittest
happens deep inside a forest away from civilization
violence builds throughout movie.
![Page 13: Assign 6: Individual Research (Steven - redneck and backwoods)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030402/587496861a28abfc5f8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
guns are used in this film to show violence and danger
![Page 14: Assign 6: Individual Research (Steven - redneck and backwoods)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030402/587496861a28abfc5f8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
the man drawing blood on his chest indicates some religious aspect to the film.
![Page 15: Assign 6: Individual Research (Steven - redneck and backwoods)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030402/587496861a28abfc5f8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
the men running shows that they are being chased by some form of danger and trying to get away from
harm.
Movie 7: Wolf creek
What I've learnt:
its set in the middle of nowhere shows isolation
there's a small cast in the film shows helplessness
set at night to increase the tension and the amount of danger
having an older character with younger teenagers balances the representation of both ages.
![Page 16: Assign 6: Individual Research (Steven - redneck and backwoods)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030402/587496861a28abfc5f8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
showing a party full of teenagers shows how naïve and juvanile they are. this can show how defenceless
they are.
![Page 17: Assign 6: Individual Research (Steven - redneck and backwoods)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030402/587496861a28abfc5f8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
showing the scene from this angle shows how abandoned the antagonists are and shows how far away
they are from safety.
![Page 18: Assign 6: Individual Research (Steven - redneck and backwoods)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030402/587496861a28abfc5f8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
showing the woman on a long and empty road can give the audience the clues of being alone and
helpless.
