.. Costumes ..
there is no costume in the 'butterfly effect' which is a drama genre film or the 'boogeyman' which is a horror type of film because it adds to the effect of both the genres in the film by showing very little and only focusing on the main aspects to show the audience the obvious genre of the film for example the butterfly effect shows its a drama film by discarding the costumes and emphasising the facial expressions of the characters and the boogeyman has shown the genre by discarding the costumes and emphasising the effect of the darkness and the creepy dis-figured hand. The image of 'chuck and larry' is a comedy film and the costumes show this because of the play of black and white suits which is usually worn by a groom (black) and his bride (white) but in the image above it shows both males in suits where one has worn the male tradion colour in a wedding of black and the other has worn white. This shows it is a comedy film because of the play on the tradition of marriage colours and clothing.
.. Lighting ..
the lighting in the butterfly effect and the boogeyman is very similar because they both have low key lighting and the parts in the image that are highlighted by the use of the lighting are things to emphasise the genre for example the butterly effect image highlights the facial expressions of the actors only and the boogeyman image highlights the dis-figured hand and the rest of both the images surroundings are darkened off, Whereas the image of chuck and larry is in high-key lighting. The whole background is white which is the total opposite of the other two images.
.. Actors ..
the actors in the the butterfly effect are two famous actors and so are the actors in chuck and larry. But there are no actors featured in the image of the boogeyman and no famous names around the image to show the audience there are any famous actors. the actors in the butterfly effect are a man and woman which show the audience that the film is obvioulsy going to be based around them since they seem to be the central characters and thier facial expressions are so serious because neither of them are smiling which connote the fact that it is a drama film. the film chuck and larry both feature actors that are best known for the comedic acts which instantly show the audience that the film is going to be a comedy and also the fact that a male is holding another male the way a groom would a bide just after marriage also shows the audience the film is going to be a comedy film. Futhermore the facial expressions on the actors show the audience that the fillm is going to be a comedy because adam sandler has a sarcastic expression on his face and kevin james shows a cheeky, happy and cheerful facial expression on his face.
.. Make - UP ..
in all three movies the make up used seems to be very minimum. The butterfly effect seems to have a natural look on both actors since it is a close up shot on both thier faces and both seem to be wearing no make up or given a natural look. We can not see much in the image of the boogeyman and what we can see is just a dis-figured hand so the audience can tell that there is alot of fake make-up used to create a horrific looking person (thus the name boogeyMAN) and also in chuck and larry, since both are male actors, they arent expected to be wearing any make-up so in which they arent wearing any.
.. Props ..
there are no props used in the butterfly effect however in the boogeyman and chuck and larry there are. The props used in the boogeyman is just a door of a closet or room which connotes the idea of a boogeyman ( which is a scary man who either lives in ur closet or under your bed, hes a fictional charcter made to scare children in the dark ) and the image of chuck and larry use props such as confettii and the top of a wedding cake that they seem to be standing on linking in with the effect of the typography showing the audience that it is a comedy film and hinting to us that the plot is going to be about two males getting married.
.. Setting ..
there is no setting in the butterfly effect. The boogeyman seems to be set in most probably a house since all taht is shown is a door and the chuck and larry image doesnt seem to have a particular setting since the background is all white but they seem to be standing on top of a wedding cake which adds to the connotation of a comedy since two males seem to be getting married.
