Opening of a Sequence

12. Erika, Nathan, Poppy, Charlene from 283goswell on Vimeo.


This opening is very good, very creative, and gives us an emotion that was sent off (successful).

Mise en scene 


- They used a different variety of mise en scene, for example;

. They used costume, (the girl was in white with blood stains on her top)
. They found a very good location (forest, old looking house)
. They had good props (books, photos, knifes, etc)

Editing

- The editing was used successfuly, for example;

. There was fast cuts to build tension, to make us affraid.
. They used dissolves and many different effects to make the clip look spooky, mysterious.
. They used fast and slow motion to build tension and also make us more affraid/jumpy.
. They put an effect on the visual (sumtimes made it black/white or very bright), to give us an emotion that something dodgy is going on/ spooky.

Camera Work

- There where many camera shots that worked well with the story line, for example;

. There were many close ups/extreme close ups (to build the tension while there are fast cuts, also describes the things and informs the viewer what message they are giving out).
. They used over the shoulder shot (to show what the man was looking at).
. Rocky shots ( camera was shooken around at times), to make the viewer scared and shocked.

Sound

- Sound was used to build tension and gives us the effect that creates our emotion (scared, shocked, mysterious)

. There was music playing that sounded kid like, and like the ones from the playing boxes that kids use ( this was to show us something spooky is going on/mysterious, also shows us the dead girl is still a kid..)
. The music was high pitched to give us a sense that the place is haunted and spooky. This creates an emotion to the audience ( gets them scared )
. There was echo noises to enhance on the sense of spookyness and mysteriousness.
