Homework- Ms Wrigley

Firstly, the video starts by showing the woman with the saw in a low angle, which makes the woman look powerful also by looking at the mis-en-scene; she’s wearing white clothing this also could connote powerful.  The tempo of the sound suddenly started to increase using non-digenetic sound to create tension or a sudden shock to the audience. There was a use of non-diegetic on motorcycles.

High angle shots were used on the girl standing up looking up at the woman with the saw, to show the less importance or low status of her , comparing to the woman with the saw.  There were close up shots and was captured in the side ways of their faces to show that they are talking to each other and their connection between them.

Also when they were talking there were some extreme close ups on their lips and eyes to give out certain messages to the audience. Suddenly when the men start running there were certain close up and long shot to show their expressions as well as well as their clothing to symbolise message.  Non digectic sound was used when the men were running to enhance the noise and the tempo by doing this; it will build tension to the audience. Contrapuntal music was also used   when they were fighting to create some energy. Also, when they surrounded around her, there was a long shot with a tilt in the camera movement.

When they start fighting the camera shot continues with medium shot to focuses on their hand actions and facial expressions. Black and white colouring with low key light contrasting to probably stop the audience from viewing extreme violence as there was varies of scenes of blood being spilled and sprayed, which some viewers might find disturbing to watch.

Also while they were fighting there was of classic music in the background, which also shows the use of contrapuntal sound and also give an unserious atmosphere.  In addition, there’s also a use  of track camera movement, where the camera moves with the character non stop.

When they approached the blue room, the background music was quite and the characters were just staring  at each other, this creates suspense as the audience don’t know what’s happening  and will be wondering what’s going to happen next.  Also the blue connotes clam in contrast it may also connote cold which may indicate the characters personality.

Suddenly they start fighting again, where you can only see there shadows and they were captured in long shot.  Diegetic sounds were used, so you can hear them screaming and sound of the saw and also to show naturalistic.

Finally the protagonist was viewed in low angle and long shot to symbolise how powerful she is after fighting against those professionals.

To conclude the genre of his film is more like action, as there are so many fight scenes. Editing; for example the scenes moving so fast with transition effect to show a flow to the film and also to create tense atmosphere.

  1. WWW - you have identified many shot types and attempted to analyse their effect on the audience.

    EBI - Analyse the effect of everything you describe in more detail.
