Analysis Of Our Intitial Film Sequence

DENOTATION

· Establishing wide shot, man opening door.
· Focus pool on girls face and the opening of the door
· Extreme Close Up of feet walking
· Variety of high/low angle over the shoulder and mid-shots conversation between two people
· Extreme Close up on mobile phone
· Longs shot of man exit
· Mid-shot of half girls profile

CONOTATION
  • Focus pool on the girls face (looking afraid) suggests she is a victim
  • The extreme closeup of the feet makes the man look powerful and intimidating
  • The fast jump cuts create suspense and fast-paced action
  • The lighting was diffused because we hadn't yet learnt about Three Point Lighthing however if we had, i think we could have used under-lighting for the man so that he would look dominant and scary
