The sound used has features similar to the scratching of a chalk board which is really not a pleasant feeling to encounter therefore long before the film has started the sound is a huge indication of what is really in store for the audience. The sound is very ominous and disurbing this high pitched tones, resulting into you feeling uncomfortable and on edge. The diagetic sound adds to your suspicions of what may happen in the film and keeps you guessing.
The use of a close up of this ageing book feels very inocent which corrolates with the smoothness of the page turning, being slow then making you feel suprisingly comforatble the complete opposite of what you would think the makers of the film would want.
-Editing
The titles in the shot look like the sound, not very nice to look at, quite messy and uncomfortable. The editing is slow and smooth in comparison with the whole opening title, again making you question the genre of the film youre about to watch.
-Mise-en-scene
the lighting in the back ground is soothing in a strange way, its a juxaposition witht the darkness of the shadows within and around the book. However, the fact the background of this close up shot is blurred it ominous which therefore makes your mind wander into what could possibly be going on.
-Sound
challenges the feel of the camera angle used as mentioned above the sound is not pleasant to listen to, it has aspects of sterotypical horror films
-Camera angles and movement
The movement begins to pace up now after the first shot, forcing the audience to feel uncomfortable in their surroundings,of course the speed of this particular shot may have been influenced by the context, seen as though it is just for publicity and shows no context to the films overall feel, unlike the main foreshadowing shots
-Editing
when introducing the featuring stars the text on screen goes from a very thin font and moves around ever so slightly,as well as the actual text submerging into an un readable Burr of white.
-Mise-en-scene
The black on Whie juxaposition is interesting becasuse the colour back has very dark connotations to go along with it while the While has completely the opposite this could then give mixed signals to the media recievers of what is actually to come.
-Camera angles and movement
The use of an extreme close up in this shot is shows connotations of being ambigious seen as though we cannot see the whole scene we are left guessing the serverity of the situation at hand.
-Editing
it seem in this shot they have put an overlay on top of the original footage and then making it seem older than it is actually. as you can see there are lines coming through showing ageing which then would lead us to beleive it was maybe filmed along time ago and could be outdated
-Mise-en-scene
The blacking out of words in the book at first sight looks as if it could be clues for what will occur during the film. Interestingly, he is blocking out the word 'transexual' which is quite a controversial action to have in an opening sequence. However, we haven't been given any context up to yet so it then attracts the media receiver to keep there attention.
-Camera angles and movement
The camera has no movement in this shot, but the close up in this shot was focused towards the left of the screen,cutting off the rest of the other page. Therefore gaining suspicions of ambiguity since we cannot see the rest of the page.
-Editing.
The editing is mostly to form the text as the shot itself is still and there are no more alternative shots to accompy this. Again the text is not a clean and tidy therefore suggesting disruption.
-Mise-en-scene
The use of this printing technique would give the audience the person doing this could be an investigator, finding evidence. Again showing foreshowing of what is to come in the flm, or what he could be doing. Since the shot is so ambigious it makes you wonder what he is actually up to. Interestingly it cuts away before the print is actually finished so the audience doesnt know what he is uncovering
-Camera angles and movement
Unsurpingly a close up shot is used again, and not showing the background, so the audeince is forced to imagaine the situation they was in. we would infer that because he is using some sort of stiching mechanism he could be a doctor or be in a doctors surgury.
-Editing
The editing around this shot uses 2 jump cuts of different angles of the same activity both intensifying the dirtiness therefore adding to the disurbing pragmatic inference around this ambigous shot.
-mise-en-scene
The fact his hands are dirty and quite unsanisery you would suggest he was definetly not a doctor, possibly he was an amature. However when putting all aspects in consideration we can draw the conclusion that he probably draw to activities of a dusturbing nature.
dirty hands.
-Camera angles and movement
In this shot they also use a close up but enough to esablish the surrounding area is and the edges of the book are showing. The camera shifts between muliple shots and pages of the book,possibly showing the amount of people he may have had 'dealing' with.
-Editing
The editor cut between the pages of the book cut between pages of the book but also ensuring continity while moving as when each page is turned they fade into each shot. This could have an underlying message that they are showing you something that they are hiding and maybe dont want you to know.
-Mise-en-scene
When teaking the pictures out of a misleading path you are beging to imagine the pictures seem quite old considering the sruffy edges of the them and the book. You could possibly suggest that he could be an investigator in crimal law or on the other hand and the more likely option considering the previous suggestions these people could be the victims of curel events. Overall these shots are enticing the audience and keep them wondering.
-Camera angles and movement
There are two extreme close up shots of the proper noun 'god' therefore showing its intensity and significance in the whole scene. The movement between the angles of the shots is fluids but quick, this could then lead us to believe that 'god' is extremely important and could have some underlying connotations to go along with it.
-Editing
Between both shots there is a very small differnce, one is even more close up on the proper noun,yet the transition between is extremely quick showing possible worry and panic. Things could possibly be intense for the said person.
-Mise-en-scene
Clearly we can safely say that the fact he is cutting out the word 'god' from a doller, it shows major disrepect and contraversiy with people who hold believe n god. We can take from this he does not have guidence, maybe he is mentally unstable. Other connotations we can draw from this is that he could be a murderer of people who carry a religion? The note is dirty and seams to have had a lot of use, i could say that therefore the surroundings are unsanitery,furthering our suspitions.
contravercy, removing god? he doesnt have guidence, could he be killing because of eligion
-Sound
At this point in the showing the music or rather background noise changes significantly,throughout the music stays fairly similar. But interestingly in this particualr shot they chose to have a song to come on with the only words being 'You bring me closer to god' this could be a metaphor that he could be killing people because he is religous and wants people to be with god again. Maybe he is killing criminals, so wants them to be a better place?
-Camera angles and movement
Although it doesnt move the camera angles the extreme close up of this shot itself shows ambiguity we are unable to see the rest of the background and makes us unable to see what and where the location this is taken from. I suggest this is because of the possible hints that it could show.
-Editing
This shot shows up for not even a second yet has many pragmatic meanings behind it, this could be a big clue through the whole film. The fact they was possibly trying to hide this shot shows significicance that many people may not be able to establish.
-Mise-en-scene
The background is dirty and proves whatever the surface it has been written on, it used frequently so that suggests it could be a public place and maybe not the place said person has been based. Unfortuantly we cannot see beyond this shot so we will have to infer.
-Sound
In these last shots before ending it is just before the previous shot i analysed and in this one the song lyrics have finished and return to the other music, maybe it suggests that this hasnt got as much relevance as the other. However, as said previously this shot has been hidden away for only a split second and i feel it could have impact on the background story of the full film.
