    SHORT OF THE WEEK

    ANALYSIS
    KEY FEATURES Complete the sections below, add screengrabs to help illustrate your
    findings.
    NARRATIVE It has a typical damsel in destress With and a hero/brave person typically a male but in this one
    it’s a female. And I would expect the hero to die and the damsel in destress to be alone again to
    ensure more screaming. Another typical thing is that one of them will die doing something
    How does the story conform to stupid like getting into a car as the cars never usually work in those sanarios and the other
    what you’d expect to see in a would usually die trying to investigate with a weapon thinking there safe but when they get
    horror? attacked the ether don’t use the weapon or the weapon doesn’t work on the monster.

    MISE EN SCENE One of the good ones was when the girl was laying down on her phone with enough light on
    her face and not to show too much of anything elts. Also there was natural colours around the
    house so nothing distracted the viewer the flash light was the most used prop and showed us
    What mise en scene is being enough of the room and used a classic technique where they flash the flashlight into the camera
    used to convey meaning? Is it blinding us a bit this is a good technique as it makes us feel like where acutely there intend of
    conventional to what you feeling where watching from a screen and drags us in more wanting us to see more.
    expect to see?
    CINEMATOGRAPHY They do close ups on props/places to build more tension they also hold the shots to show that
    something isn’t right and to make the audience wonder why it’s had a lot of camera time.
    Another good thing is walking shots where the camera is walking with the character as this
    What cinematography is makes us want to look around her even though we can’t because of the tight shots to stop us
    being used to convey from getting distracted or seeing too much and to add tension because we want to see what’s
    meaning? Is it conventional to happening.
    what you expect to see?
    AUDIO They build up the jump scare with sound to make it more intense and when it happens there’s
    a loud noise eg like a scream, loud music ect. The sound also makes the audience not want to
    look away as this gives them longer shots and less things you can see makining them more and
    What do you note about the more egar to see what’s going to happen and what around them. They also use creeks at first to
    music and sound effects being make us think it could be a normal noise but as we hear more it makes us drought if its normal
    used to help support the and while we start to drought, we are shown the monster.
    visual and narrative features?

    SYNTHESIS What I can take from the film is the values of building up the tension and not to rush into jump
    scares. Another thing is to not show everything in a room and to hide stuff from the audience
    and use less light and have more darkness. Also, to clean the set for no distractions and use
    What can you take from the natural colours to not be distracting from the character we want to be focused on.
    film, has it inspired you with
    certain ideas?
