preliminary exercise




Clip opens with black screen (for the first four seconds) with non-diegetic gun shot the breathing, this creates a sense of enigma as the audience doesn't know what is going on, it makes audience ask questions like 'What happened?, Did someone get murdered? or Who did it?'. You can tell that its a thriller by the darkness of the scenes and the gun shot at the beginning of the clip. Non-diegetic erie music starts, it then cuts to a medium close up of someone running down the stairs the foot steps are diegetic, the footage is in black and white to create a horror look this makes the audience instantly assume that the person running . Camera tilts down to a close up of feet the protagonist still not established at this point furthermore creating enigma, the shots happen at normal speed creating a sense of reality.

 Cuts to a low angle shot but we still don't see the protagonist, diegetic breathing continues. Camera is shaky again connoting a sense of horror, and tension. match on action though door, the match on action happens quite fast connoting an urgency may be to get away from her acts or someone else. we for the first time see the protagonist, her facial expressions seem distressed and in shock, this may be because she is just committed a crime or is running away from a murder. long shot of the door closing after the protagonist falls this creates a sense of mystery and anticipation.

close up of the back of the protagonists head, we hear another voice, and second character appears in dirty single the fact we don't see the second character fully create suspicion. The protagonist breaks the fourth wall at the end creating a sense of paranoia for the audience.

Some of the scenes in the preliminary exercise were either too light or too dark, so you couldn't see what was happening, this extinguished the tension at some points in the clip.
