Shot List

Final Cut - The stalking



Film Analysis

Film Analysis

Our opening sequence to a horror film conveys many elements of existing media products, which are shown through use of camera, editing, mise en scene and sound. The film opens with a close up of the main character, which reveals detail of the woman’s background, highlighting her stress by showing her drinking and smoking.  A voiceover is used as a radio broadcast which gives details of the subject of the film, making the audience aware of the story. Throughout the opening titles and the opening scene, incidental music of a baby’s mobile is used; this fits into the theme of the theme and adds to the uneasy atmosphere. This worked as a sound bridge to link each scene together smoothly. As well as this, we have incorporated a child singing a song, which creates suspense within the film. Sound perspective is used when the door slams which emphasizes the door slamming.

The use of a montage of images creates suspense by showing the unstable state of mind of the character, which won’t confuse the audience, but instead build upon the story. Blocking shots are used to create a sense of actually being there and allow to audience to sympathize with the character; which is the woman as the main character. Cantered angles were used as an effective way to portray the character’s unstable mind and to add to the atmosphere within the film. The camera zooms in on certain details to emphasis their important to the film, this gives away small elements of what the film will involve without giving away too much. We used over the shoulder shots to show things from the perspective of the character and making the audience feel more involved in the action of the film.

We used both high and low key lighting in order for the audience to establish the difference between the past and present of the character. We added fading transitions in between each to make the film smooth and professional. Visual effects were used to make the film fit the horror genre, by making the camera almost ‘shakey’ giving an eerie effect.
