Shannon - Evaluation 2

 

Here the female lead character says ‘bye mum’. This is very stereotypical that a mother would be in the house either cooking or cleaning also as daisy doesn’t say ‘dad it suggests that the farther is at work or a modern 21^st century perception may be that the farther no longer lives with them.

 

Daisy is a very stereotypical teenage girl she is wearing what a typical college student would wear also she is putting earphones in which most people of her age often to do to shut out the world. The characters surroundings suggest that her family are better off adding to the social realism.

 

The props in the scene add to the realism of the movie for example the bag over the victims head adds to the mystery also the rusty tools in background add to the suspense as the audience will perceive that the girl is injured with them in some way, this is iconography. The lighting here adds to the feel of the film as it gives a ‘dingy’ feel.

Here the shot used is slightly high angled to show that the female interrogating the girl is more dominant, daisy’s face in this shot portrays how petrified and confused she is. The editing here is continuous to ensure this also a sound bridge was used to follow continuity throughout different shots. A spotlight effect is used on daisy to exaggerate how vulnerable and angelic she is suggesting she is good and makes the viewer wonder why she’s there even more. The interrogator is a woman which breaks all stereotypes as it’s normally a male who captures a vulnerable person. However the ‘last woman standing’ stereotype is true in our film.

 

Here we use fast pace editing to create the mood and tension also the sound here begins to come to a climax which indicates that the woman will get the girl.

 

Here this shows a convention of a thriller film… a wood

Here is a low angled shot of the interrogator to once again show dominance it also is shown from daisy’s point of view making the viewer feel like it is them who the interrogator is smothering
