Boyhood.
This particular art house film is set aside from the others as it took a large amount of time and dedication to make. It not only has a fantastic tale but allows the audience to follow the journey along with the 12 year old boy from start to finish.
The camera work is like no other because from start to finish the same camera has been used for 12 years meaning none of the cuts,edits, hand held shots or even zoom lenses had changed.
The camera shots were rather simple but held a lot of power as it was also part of the story being explained. The use of the arc shots that appeared within the movie represented the young boys giddy behaviour. There was a lack of handheld shots, were the camera provides a jerky movement, creating intimate feel. The cuts between the characters throughout the film during a conversation made the audience aware of facial expressions, movement etc allowing the audience to almost feel as if they are right there taking part in listening to the conversation. The sound was most diegetic as most of the sound that come from the movie was created by what was on the screen. However when non diegetic sound was used it created a nostalgia feeling as the audience felt that they are remembering something from a long time ago even though they just watched it from a scene 30 minutes ago. The characters/ actors in the film and watching them was remarkable because at the start of the film, the actors playing the characters were only young children and their lines, way of speaking felt rehearsed and stiff, like any child would at a young age. However towards the near end of the film, the young children matured into young adults also maturing their speech and movement, becoming more relaxed and well structured within the film.
The target audience for this film would be of all ages, I would say it depends on the mature-ness of the person watching. This film is journey through a young boys eyes. The audience grows with him, a good audience for this would be for people who understand the true meaning behind this type of film.

This art house film is a horror based film. It explores the different elements within editing and camera work to create a thrilling atmosphere. The camera work has a vast amount of different shots. Majority of the film was filmed using a tripod because there was a lot of tracking shots and crane shots to make sure the camera captures certain key elements that make up the plot or make the audience aware of the characters and their key role within the film. The editing was fast, paced and it included a lot cuts within the film that suggests that there is a lot going on, which most horror film do. This type of art house horror film does not focus on the cliches of horror films but rather the story of the main character and what is happening to her, it is more focused on the story line rather than the entertainment of the audience. The camera dissolved a lot in the clip, suggesting a lot is happening and that it doesn't have to always make sense in order to make sure it terrifies the audience.
The actor within the film seems to be genuinely terrified as we witness her being really happy at the start of the clip but move on to her being stripped of that feeling and having it be replaced with terror and confusion. This film will cause the audience to feel a bit lost as I am with this clip but unable to shake off the feeling of unease because of what might be happening within the film.
The target audience for this art house film would most definite be 15 or over. There are a few things that might suggest this, such as first the terrifying suspense that is highlighted within the film but as well as the imagery of the women. The audience target would be people who mostly enjoy films such as thrillers and horror films as this falls into that category.

This particular art house film plays with the audience mind. It makes no sense but it allows the audience to connect and grow with the character because he relates to everyone at some point within their life.This film camera work was limited from the clip because it highlighted a conversation between the main character and what seems to be his therapist. The camera did not move, pan or zoom out. However it did zoom in on him as he seemed to get into the subject of what he was saying, suggesting it is important whether it be to the plot or having better understanding of the character. The editing was throughout because it cut various time between the two characters having their conversation instead of just focusing on the one character and only hear the other. This allows the audience to get a good feel of being there with the characters and having hear it. The character seems to be wearing a coloured t shirt suggesting that even though what he might e saying is beyond his years he still has the fashion sense of the average teenager back at that time. His facial expression don't say much or give away much either because it seems like what he's saying is something he has probably repeated in his head over and over before contemplating the idea. The only expression we can get is that it is very thoughtful.
The target audience for this film is probably between young teenagers to young adults because it is very relatble for them at once to have had the same thoughts as Donnie. They would watch this to have a peek through the same kind of life as theirs but through the eyes of someone else.Girlhood
This art house film is livilly and brings a happy atmosphere to it's watchers but also leaves them with a better understanding for something that was probably not clear to them in the beginning. In this case being the lives of young black female teenager girls and the way they cope through the world.
The camera work is very noticeable because through this clip it suggests that it is hand held and jerky, causing that inmate feeling. In this clip the girls are learning and teaching each other dance moves, with the hand held camera it allows the audience to feel like they are there with them, dancing.
The editing is not very clear in this clip as it provides barely any cuts or transitions. Judging from this particular clip there might be a lot of cuts because we will probably going through different aspects of the film to discover the type of lives these girls have. The girls seems to be young and free and perfect to be represented for all types of black girls for this film.
The target audience for this film would be young teenagers who are confused and are lacking information of what life is like for people other themselves. However that doesn't also mean it should stop other people of age or colour to view this film.

This arthouse film clip has a heavy element of mystery within it. The audience will be quick to notice the film will focus on the life of young teenagers. However the first couple of seconds it does not seem to introduce anything to do with school life. The voice over of the main character sets the idea that the film will be through the eyes of the main character herself.
The voice over is played over vast amounts of quick cuts of single shots of what is probably yet to come into the film however it could also be interpreted as small snap shots into the characters mind.
The way the character speaks suggest that she is reading off a book or a page because of her low mono toned voice. The fast pace shots comes to a slow stop on a bell followed swiftly with the fast bustle of young school girls walking into the school. This is the starting point that the audience will have a better understanding of what might become of the film.
The use of sound in the film is a very key element of making it stand out to the audience, the non diegetic sound makes the audience more aware of what is happening, whether it be listening to the voice over or listening to the music being played over a scene, even blending the both together.
The first face we are introduced to is what the audience is quick to assume is the big part she might have within the film, we assume it is her voice too because of the amount of times we see her in the short seconds of the start of the clip.
The editing is fast faced at the start, emphasizing on the amount of things that will soon happen. The use of blending two scenes together while the sound from the previous scene is played over the next well done.
The target audience for this particular film would probably older teens, those who have the skill set to properly digest a film that relates to them and enjoy how it played on their minds.
