The genre was mainly horror. We can see this through the darkness of the whole film. Also there was a build-up of music to create tensions ending with a sharp and loud sound affect to make the audience jump. The fact that the film plays on people being possessed is also a big give away for the horror genre. However the film also embeds romance into the genre with the main characters falling in love with each other.
What production context does 1920 fit into?
The production context is Bollywood the reason for this is the budget for the film which was 9 cores and that equates US $166,284. The acting was quite poor compared to a Hollywood or a British film. The effects that were put into the production were at a high standard but when they were used it looked over the top and tacky.
Were there any stars involved in 1920?
Yes, they had Aftab Shivdasani who has started in 45 films since 1987. He is very recognisable in Bollywood films so the reason why a he was used was so more people would want to see a film he is in.
How did the narrative, dialogue, characters and location
relate to the production context?
The narrative of the love
story was typical of a Bollywood film. Most of their films incorporate a love
story between 2 people. The film also had them bursting into song which is what
is expected from a Bollywood film. There is normally a damsel in distress which
was showed in the film. The location looked very British with the big stately
home and the forest nearby. British culture is slowly working its way into
Bollywood productions. How did the technology used relate to the production context?
The film used a lot of special effects especially on the eyes. They could have used coloured contact lenses which a simple yet very effective. But instead they used CGI. I feel this was over-done made it look cheap. The effects in the film were not over-used but too dramatic and over the top e.g. the slow motion effect.
