The Olympus OM-1


The Olympus Om-1 is a film SLR (single les reflex) camera.
This means when taking a photo the camera reflects light that enters through the lens using a mirror so that an image can be seen in the viewfinder. A film camera like the Olympus uses a film made of plastic, gelatine and other materials to record the images.

This camera can be easily brought on Ebay from £100.00 to £160.00.
The Olympus OM-1  has a 35mm single lens and weighs 510g. the shutter speed range is 1s-1/1000.
The OM-1 was first produced in 1972.

The Olympus OM-1 would be great for me as a media student as it will help we learn how to manually focus a camera rather than not having to in DSLRs. Having this manual focus will also help we concentrate more on the shot I'm taking as I have to be more attentive when filming on this camera because if I have a moving subject I will need to move the camera as well as keeping it all in focus as it is not digital.

Horror films all have many similarities to create the scary,and tense emotions to appeal to the audience watching.If it isn't scary then it won't be popular. In a horror film you always have a protagonist.In IT this is the clown,Pennywise,he is a murderer which is also very similar to our interactive film as we are going to be having a murderer as the protagonist,however instead of them being a clown we are having them as unknown as the film will be in first person from the murderers point of view. As well as a protagonist we also have the antagonist,they're not the hero in the film as they don't survive,which is controversial because most protagonist is the hero and they mostly always survive. It's also very different because there are three main characters all with their own separate story linking i
