MY OBSERVATIONS

4.
Successful use of an over the shoulder shot and good use
of lighting to create a mysterious and threatening mood.
Bring in themes of religion and juxtapose the violence with
the innocence of the statue.

5.
The character is portrayed as an angsty teen and a clear
colour palate of greys and reds. The titles are incorporated
into the scene and we clearly know that it’s a teen movie.

6.
They used a medium shot from a low
angle. This was successful as it not only
gave us a new creepier angle of the
scene but also showed us the inside of
the trunk which hints to something that
might happen later in the film.

7.
They used a medium close up, ground level
shot/worms eye shot. This was done to
further highlight how inattentive the main
character is and doesn’t notice what is
right under his nose, highlighting his
idiocy.

8.
They used a very long shot, tracking the
main character. This was done to create
the effect of the main character being
followed to make the audience feel
very tense. This was done particularly well
as there is a shaking effect making the
shot feel more real and from the
perspective of the attacker.
