This document contains information about single camera and analyses of two movies which are Conjuring 2 and Quarantine.

1. Task 2
Single camera production
Single camera production is when there is only one camera in a scene when recording an
action of a character within the scene.
There are various advantages and disadvantages when using single cameras. The
advantages of using a single camera are: The costs are effective; this means that there is
not much money required when filming because a film producer can record a TV show or a
movie with using only one camera because they can still record scenes that only require a
camera and this leads to less crew being paid to help film because when using only one
camera, only a few crew members need to be helping out and this leads to less money being
spent to pay people and to buy more equipment for filming. Another advantage is, there is
less time to be spent when setting up. This suggests that when recording a movie or TV
show, there will be more time spent on recording than setting up the equipment which will
help finish off the scenes for the movie or TV show. Also using a single camera, will make it
easier when editing because there will be less time spent when looking through footage and
give you multiple scenes to chose from when filming from different angles. There is also
more room because less crew are needed and less equipment are used when recording
scenes by using a single camera. The final advantage is that, when using a single camera, it
tests the skills of people because when a director or a producer or manager is on set, the
crew members have different roles in order to make the scenes they are recording comes
out well just how they have planned it to be like. For example, the continuity managers need
to make sure that every action is kept the same through the same scene, the same
equipment need to be used because if using a different camera than before, the quality may
be different than before and this will lead to errors to occur, and also, if they don’t fill on time
and leave too much time spending on fixing equipment, characters or sets, the lighting may
change which will led to different lighting in a scene, making it look unrealistic and may lead
to having to reschedule to film on another day making the deadline of the movie or TV show
late for the audience to watch.

2. However, there are some advantages too for when using a single camera such as; there
may be continuity errors because there may not be enough continuity managers to check if
there have been any errors before when it comes to editing. As well, more time will be spent
when filming because when there is only one camera, the cameraman will need to keep
changing its angles to get every shot that is needed for the scene.
In Doctor Who, season 8, episode 6: the caretaker. This shows proof of single camera
techniques as there are edits of over the shoulder shots showing the conversation between
The Doctor and his sidekick rose.

3. These three images have been screenshot
from the TV show called, Doctor Who. These
images are in the scene when the doctor is
speaking to his sidekick, Rose. You can see
that there is a use of single camera because
both the characters are in the ‘Tardis’ box,
which is known to be the famous box that the
Doctor lives in, and it shows that there is not
much room so only one camera would fit into
that room and it shows that when the doctor
and the sidekick are talking, the camera is
following them and moves to different angles
when they speak to one another.

You can watch the exact scene from 01:43 to
01:50
In season 7 episode 6, it shows that when the Doctor and his sidekick, Rose are in
London, it shows in the back that the Doctor’s “Tradis” box’s door is open, however, in the
next scene it shows the “Tardis’s” box door is closed. This shows continuity error has

4. occurred as in one of the scene, it shows in the back that the door of the “Tardis” is
opened; however, when it changes to the next scene, it shows the same “Tardis” door is
now closed. This shows that continuity errors has happened because, not only does this
TV show, show that there is a use of single camera, it also shows that by using a single
camera less crew are used as when there is less crew , it means that a single camera is
being used so there is no need for extra crew but this downplays that there should
normally be more than one continuity manager as when recording a scene, the same
objects and actions need to remain the exact same throughout the whole scenes and
when editing, the same actions need to be carried out through every scenes so it makes
the scenes more real and there may not be enough time to re-film.

You can watch the exact scene from 26:17 up to 26:28
The Blair Witch Project
There is a use of single camera in this movie as it shows only one person filming the whole
scene as there is a group of people who go out into the woods to try and search for a witch
that is supposedly to be hunting the woods, and the person who is filming the movie is
actually a character as they have made the movie to be like a person's view from what they
are seeing when they are in the woods. You also never get to see the person who is
recording the movie as they are using the single camera to get the whole footage.

6. Conjuring 2

7. On this page, I will be analysing and evaluating the movie, Conjuring 2 (2016). The genre of
Conjuring 2 is horror.
Conjuring 2 is horror movie based in 1977, with a family, the Hodgson family, who live in
England in a house in Enfield. They begin to discover strange things occurring in their house
and realise that their house is being haunted by a past death of an old man. The old man
has found to be attached to the youngest girl in the family, Janet. To get rid of the evil
demon haunting the Hodgson family, they get in contact with paranormal investigators, Ed
and Lorraine, who help people who are being haunted by a supernatural spirit. Ed and
Lorraine help the Hodgson family by trying to contact with the demon who is possessing
Janet and try to get the demon to stop haunting the Hodgson family. At the end of the movie,
Lorraine is saying the demon’s name as they knew this will give them more power over the
demon and Ed is saving Janet from nearly falling out of the bedroom window. Finally, the
movie ends as a happy ending, Ed and Lorraine finally got the demon to stop haunting the
Hodgson family and save Janet from dying because of being possessed by the demon.
Genre:
The movie Conjuring 2, is a horror movie. The reason it is a horror genre is because it
contains all the conventions that a horror movie mostly uses. It is a horror movie as it is
using elements that mainly horror movies use such as, people being possessed by a
supernatural spirit, demon(s) haunting a family and their home, paranormal investigators and
uses of jump scenes which make the audience feel scared. This reason also suggests that
there is no use of sub genre or hybrid as there is only one main genre which is horror
because the movie does not include any types of non horror elements such as zombie or
slaughter but only supernatural which is common in a horror movie.
The conventions of Conjuring 2 is that is contains many horror elements such as, low key
lighting, dark corners, and a main antagonistic that is haunting a family or one particular
person. For example, the scenes in Conjuring 2, use low key lighting to suggest to the
audience that something is either hiding behind the darkness or that the area or place they
are in, represent evil and unsafety as places that are not bright or with warm tone colours
suggest that the place is safe and no evilness is presence.
However, there is uses of unconventional scenes in the movie because it shows that no one
dies in the movie as the paranormal investigators help get rid of the spirits that were
haunting the family and ends with a happy ending which suggests that the movie is
unconventional for a horror movie as most horror movies show scenes of some characters in
the movie dying representing the genre as it's made to scare people and want to frighten
them. Another reason for the movie being unconventional is because there is a use of
hierarchy of villains which is representing the different levels of the three villains that are in
the movie such as the demon (Valak) , the crooked man and the dead man (Bill). The reason
this shows that the movie is unconventional is due to the use of hierarchy of villains which is
not convention for horror movies as in most of horror movies, there is only one main villain
whereas in Conjuring 2, there are three main villains that are all trying to hurt the characters
in the movie.
Narrative:

8. The narrative of Conjuring 2 uses linear because the movie is all in chronological order.
Because of the use of chronological this will make the audience feel like the movie is more
real and it would defeat the movie from being real as it would confuse the audience.
Chronological means that the storyline of the movie is going forward in time. The movie uses
flashbacks which represents the memories that characters may be thinking about. Even
though there is a use of flashbacks, this still doesn't mean that the movie will not be linear
because the storyline is still being shown in forward of time and the flashbacks only
represent the memories that the characters are thinking of. The movie is closed narrative
because the movie doesn't contain a ‘cliffhanger’ which leaves the audience wondering
about what will happen next but in Conjuring 2, the ending is closed because the movie
doesn't contain a cliffhanger and it shows the ending which is when the Warren family help
the Hodgson family get rid of the spirits that were haunting their family. This shows that the
movie has ended because the end of the storyline has been told and not left the audience
questioning about what the ending could be or if another movie will be made in order to
finish the rest of the previous movie. Conjuring 2 is multi stranded because there is actually
two different storylines but emerge at the end of the movie. It shows some scenes of the
Warren family who are paranormal investigators who help people that are being haunted by
an evil spirit and also shows the other family, Hodgson family, which is showing the family
being haunted by evil spirits but then the two families emerge as the warren family go to
England from America, to help the Hodgson family get rid of the spirits that is haunting their
family. This is why the movie is multi stranded because of the two story lines then emerging
finally at the end. In addition, Conjuring 2 also uses long shot angles in the movie to show
that people in the movie are running or pancaking which will show all their body movement
which will help emphasise the
character's body movements.
The image on the left is showing the Hodgson family when the children have just came back home from school whereas
on the right, it is showing the Warren family and it's showing when Lorraine is crying after she’s just had a flashback to a
horror memory of her watching the death of a family.

9. This image is showing the
beginning scene of the movie
which shows the part when
Lorraine is in her flashback when
she is seeing the death of a
family who has been previously
been haunted by an evil spirit.
Camera work:
In Conjuring 2, the movie mainly uses mid shot and close up angles. The reason for the use
of mid shot and close up scenes is to make the audience feel like they are in the scene and
experiences the far that the character is feeling when there is a jump scenes. Another
reason for using close up angles is to show the audience the face expressions of the
characters and to show the hand and upper body movements. Also, by having a mid shot or
close up of the jump scene this will scare the audience more as it is in their face and
because of the image zoomed in their face, it will make the audience more scared. For
example, a use of mid shot angle is in the scene when Lorraine is having a vision with the
old man who is talking to her about being controlled by another evil spirit. By using the mid
shot angle, this makes the old man look less scary and weak because it is shown in an eye
level view and this makes the audience view the old man as weak and not as scary as he
was in the other scenes when there were different angles presenting him. A use of a close
up angle is when Lorraine is a room in her house where the painting of the evil nun is
hanging on the wall, but the n the spirit of the nun controls the painting and is shown to be
chasing Lorraine with using the picture. On the other hand, the movie also uses angles such
as, long shot and dutch shot. A use of long shot angle used in Conjuring 2 was used in the
scene when the young boy of the Hodgson family is watching the dog turn into the crooked
man. The use of the long shot angle will give enough head room and as the crooked man is
growing taller, the camera angle starts to tilt up which give the impression of the crooked
man being scarier and making the
young boy and the audience feel
scared.

10. This image is from the scene when Janet,
the young girl from the Hodgson family, is
being controlled by the evil spirit. The
camera is showing a use of close up
because the camera is recording the girl’s
face. The use of the close up angle is to
show the emotions of the character's face
and to make the audience feel what the
character is feeling.
These two images both show a use of close up angles. The image on the left is showing a close up of the young boy’s
facial expression to emphasise his emotions to the audience, whereas the image on the right is showing also the use of
close up angle when the crooked man has risen from being a dog into himself as the crooked man. The crook man is
shown to be see in an tiled up angle as the camera has been tiled up at a high angle to emphasise that he is big and scary
which will make the audience see him like that as they will be looking up to him as if they are in the young boy’s position.
However, the camera is also a close up of the crooked man but tiled at the same time because it wasn't to emphasise the
strength of the crooked man as it is scarier and taller than the young boy and wants us to feel frightened.

11. This image is of Lorraine and Jante talking the garden. A dialogue is shown as there are
two people speaking to each other. This image is shown as a close up because it has a
zoomed up picture of the characters which shows their faces close up to the screen when
the audience are watching the movie. The use of the close up will allow the audience to
see the face expressions of the characters and even the upper body movement which will
let the audience know if something bad or good will happen and how they express their
emotions.
This is a picture of the evil nun who has taken control over the painting of the evil nun that
Ed had drawn previously from his dream. The close up allows the audience to get a better
vision of the painting and it makes them feel scared as this is part of a jump scene when
the painting starts to come alive and chase Lorraine. The close up of the nun shows the
audience the face and makes them feel scared because the face is disturbing and is
supposed to scare the audience and by having a close up of the painting, it will make the
audience feel as if the painting is directly in front of their face like how it's suppose to feel
for Lorraine.
Editing:
There are many editing techniques that Conjuring 2 uses in the movie such as, parallel
editing, match on action, cutaways, pace of cutaways and combination of shots. The movie
mostly uses cut aways as this will show one scene of the movie but then change to another

12. scene of the movie which will show another scenes and create tension as it may change
from a scene to a jump scene which will make the audience feel uncomfortable. The movie
also uses mainly single camera but sometimes use multi camera as they would need more
than one camera to film a scene which requires more than one camera due to an action that
needs to be filmed but may cost too much if it is recorded more than once such as the scene
when Janet is standing at the bedroom window but then the glass of the window smashes
and goes everywhere including herself. Also, by using combination of shots, which is
regularly used in the movie, it helps to build tension as it shows a character or object
gradually getting closer to the screen which will make the audience see the character or
object close to their own face as if they are in the movie and seeing it for real life but also
shows the character or object going further aways from the scene which which could led to
another scene which suggests that the tension has died down. In addition, parallel editing is
done frequently in the movie as it is suppose to show one scene but then cut away to
another scene to show what is happening from the main subject. This will show the audience
that one main scene is happening but will cut to other scenes that are happening at the
same time to show the juxtaposition of the different scenes. For example, when Ed is alone
in the Hodgson family’s house, it shows him walking around the house blind, but saying an
exorcism in Latin to try and get rid of the demon but then, the scenes cuts to another scene
chi shows that Lorraine is at the door of the basement which is trying to break down the door
with the neighbour. It shows that the pace of the two scenes are different at the scene with
Ed shows the cut aways to be slow whereas in the scene with Lorraine, ot shows to be faster
and this presents the juxtaposition between the two scenes. The use of editing will help
make the movie much better as it uses different types of editing for different scenes and by
using different types of editing techniques for different scenes, it will make the scenes
different from each other and show scenes in unique ways by using a technique for a
specific scenes if it
requires that
technique.

13. These two images show close up of the scene when Janet is in the chair where the old man died in and then is
shown to be the old man sitting in her place. This scene shows that the cut away ios not been used as the scene is
2 minutes long of just janet sitting in the chair but the old man sitting as her when the scene is over which is shown
as a transformation because there are no cutaways to change from the girl to the old man. This makes the scene
more real as it would take away the reality if it showed a scene of the girl but then cut away to another scene of the
old man. Also, by not having the cut waya used in this scene, it allows the audience to see Ed’s fac expression as
is shows him looking frustrated and confused because when he is talking to the old man.
These three images are from the scene when Lorraine has followed the vil nun in the
study room in her house. The first image shows the scene to be shown as a long shot then
cuts away to the next scene of Lorraine walking to another part of the room shown as mid
shot and finally shows a close up of Lorraine’s face to show her facial expression. There a
lot of cut aways used in the movie because when there is a scene, the scene will then be
cut to another scene which will be cut in a slow or fast pace depending on the tension of
the scene. It will also show to emotions the characters are feeling as if the scene is
showing a close up of a character's face like in the images above.

14. These four images show a use of cut aways in a scnes. They show the use of cut aways
because the scene is showing when Lorraine is looking at the mirror but then backs to see
if something is behind her but then looks back to the mirror but when she looks back the
second time, the third cut away shows that something has appeared. It cuts to an action
but then to an empty space to show that something will soon appear.
The juxtapose between these two scenes show that in the first scene, the cut aways are cut to a slow pace
whereas the second scene are cut to much faster pace as the second scene is used to create tension and for
the first scene, there is use of non diegetic sound to create tension as well. This scene also uses parallel
editing as it shows one scene but then cuts to another scene which shows the juxtaposed between the two
scenes. The scene where Ed is in, needs to have slow cut aways and non diegetic sound playing in the
background because it helps make a dramatic tension build and it suggests to the audience that something bad
will happen to he character as the non diegetic sound is only heard by the audience, making them feel tensed
and the slow cut aways will get the audience to feel more scared as they will be waiting to see what is going to
happen next and when since a jump scene will be later on used. However, on the other hand, the scene where
Lorraine and the neighbour are in, the cut aways need to be faster as the scene is showing the audience that
something bad is happening from the previous scenes and the other characters need to get to the other
charters to save them. There is also uses of non diegetic sound as this scene also builds up tension because
they are suggesting to the audience that if they don't save the other characters in time, it will be too late.

15. These two images show that match on action editing has been used for this scene. The first image
shows when the Janet is in front of the window with her arms beside her body however, when the next
mage is show, Janet is still in the same position but the scene shows when the glass is broken put flying
across her body and falling onto the floor. Match on action is used to show on action but in both scenes
but from different angles. By using this editing technique, it will allow the audience to see an actio being
shown from different angles which will give them a more clearer and overall view from different angles.
Plus it will make the scene more interesting if it is shown in different views as it would be boring and
won't show the whole view of the scene if it's just shown from one angle all the time.
The two images show the juxtaposed between the two families. The first image shows the Warren
family and presents their lives as happy and are safe whereas the second image shows the Hodgson
family which shows the audience that they are going through hell because they are being haunted by
the evil spirits. It gives the audience two different families and see their different lifestyle, one poor
and one rich, showing the contrast between the two.
This image shows the use of superimposition because it shows texts on the image whilst
recording the scenes in the movie. The use of superimposition is to help establish the
scenes. In Conjuring 2, it is used to tell the audience a story because at the end it uses
texts to explain what happened after the scenes when they defeated the evil spirits, it's

16. telling the audience a story.
Sound:
In Conjuring 2, the sound that is mostly used is diegetic sound. The uses of diegetic sound is
sound that comes from that text world. Which means that it is sound that emanates from a
source within an actual scene. Conjuring 2, uses diegetic sound such as, screaming,
gasping, crying, banging, tapping and heavy breathing because it is using sound that the
characters are presenting int the scenes of the movie. Diegetic sound is conventional in a
horror movie as it uses sound that comes from the characters from the movie and it uses
scenes that are made to make the audience scream and feel frightened of the scenes. Also,
the sound needs to be diegetic because it shows the sounds that the movie uses from
characters or objects that are being used in the movie. On the other hand, it would also be
conventional if Conjuring used non diegetic sound because most non diegetic sound such
as, music being played when a jump scene is about to happen. Non diegetic sound is doing
that (theoretically) cannot be heard by the characters within a video but the audience can
hear it. It emanates from a source outside of the text’s own world. It is beneficial if Conjuring
2, or other types of horror movies use non diegetic sound because it can be used in a scene
that needs a sound that will make the audience more interested to the movie as the movie is
using background sound to emphasise what is happening in the scene and make it more
real with extra sound playing in the back.
This image shows when Lorraine is looking
through her bible which she had previously
written the demon's name when she was
having a vision. When she is looking
through the pages, there is an eerie sound
playing in the background which is only
heard by the audience but not by the
characters as its suppose to give an
impression to the audience that something
bad is going to happen and to make the
scenes more intense with the extra sound
playing the back.

17. Mise-en-scene:
The mise-en-scene in Conjuring 2 shows how the decor of the homes are presented and
how characters are dressed like. For example, the decor in the house of the Hodgson family
is presented in the style of the 60s even though it should be shown as in the 70s. This is
because the Hodgson family are portrayed as poor and cannot afford to buy new future for
their home so they live with the previous family’s old furniture. The juxtaposition between the
Hodson family with the Warren family because the hodgson family are portrayed as poor as
they cannot afford to buy new objects whereas the Warren family are shown to be wealthy
and can afford modern objects and clothing. Moving on, the lighting in the homes are very
different, for example, the lighting in the Warren household is very bright warm tones which
suggests that there house is safe and wealthy as they can afford to have electricity in their
house. In contrast, the lighting in the Hodson family is shown to be low key lighting and with
dark corner which suggests that it is not safe and nerve-racking as it means that something
bad will happen as there is not light to see what could be hiding in the dark or something evil
will happen as there is no light to see the areas of the house.
On the left, the image shows the character Peggy. She is portrayed as a single mum of four children who
is stressed and always looks tired as she has a lot to deal with. Her eyes are red with bags underneath
which represents the tiredness and stress she is feeling, and her hair is shown like it's not cared about
but just brushed to the side because she hasn't got enough money to go to the hairdressers or to cut it in
a nice hairstyle. Her clothing also represents that she is not rich enough to buy modern clothing and the
clothes are seen to be not fitting and falling off of her as she is seen as skinny which suggests that she is
not eating enough or stressed. However, there is a use of juxtaposition between Peggy and Lorraine as
Peggy is portrayed as tired and poor whereas Lorraine is portrayed as wealthy and smartly dressed.
Lorraine is shown to be wealthy as she has enough money to go to the hairdresser and to get her cut
into a modern style with modern clothing. She is also shown to be less tired and stressed than Peggy as
she doesn't have any eye bags and is always dressed formally and wealthy.

18. This image shows the scene when Janet is being possessed by the old man and Ed, the paranormal
investigator is holding the crucifix to protect himself and make the evil spirit leave from the room. The
crucifix is an object that is symbolised as religious object. By having mid shot of the object and the character
it suggests that the object is important and that the character is evil because the object is holy and the
crucifix is used to protect people from evil. Also, in the background you can see the wallpaper on the wall is
old, damped and falling apart. This suggests that the Hodgson family is quite poor because they haven't got
enough money to change the furniture that the previous family live in and it shows that the furniture is from
the 60s instead of the 70s because most people who are wealthy change the furniture in their house but
because Hodgson family in not that wealthy they have not been able to afford to change the decor of the
house and have just the old furniture in the house.
This scene is when the Warren family is with the reporters who are investigating the
Hodgson family about the evil spirit that is haunting them. They are shown to be sitting in a
pub in England which represents the tradition of England as the American make fun out of
the British people that they always go to the pub. The lighting in the pub is shown to be
bright because it shows the characters can feel relaxed and safe because they need a
place to talk another and in a safe place away from the evil spirits. The image is shown as
a mid shot of the character's upper body which is used to show the audience the upper
body movements of the characters to emphasize their emotions and the hand movements
which is used to show how they feel. Gesticulates is used to show the audience the
character's hand movements they do because of how they are feeling. For example, in this
scene, the man with the glasses who is the reporter who wants to prove to people that the
Hodgson house is being haunted, shows his hand movements as moving around a lot
whilst he speaks as this suggests that he is confident about what he's talking about and
that he is trying to explain to the people on the table about what he is feeling and wants to
say.

19. This image shows the kitchen of the Warren family. It shows that they are wealthy as they
can afford modern decor for their home and the lighting in the house is shown to be bright
and warm as it represents that their home is safe unlike the Hodgson home. Also, you can
tell they live in the 70s as the furniture is seen to be 70’s style and this shows that they can
afford to change the decor of their house to modern times as they have enough money to.
Quarantine
Quarantine (2008) is a horror movie with sub genre of zombies. The movie is about a
reporter who goes to interview firmen and see how they work. When they get a call to go
and help a building that is in danger, the get to the building where there is a deadly virus
spreading. One of the people living in the building had spread a deadly disease that would
infect other people if they were bitten by the infected person. The infection is so deadly that
of you are bitten, you become into a zombie. The report and her cameraman must record all
the footage that is happening in the building as they will need to show people what is
happening to people from the disease. Most of the people in the movie get infected and turn
into zombies that try to kill other people who are not infected.
Genre:
The movie Quarantine is a horror genre but with a sub genre that is zombies because even
though the movie is horror, there is a subgenre that shows that there is more than one genre
that links together. The movie is mainly horror zombie as the movie is based on zombies and
this suggests that the movie’s genre is a subgenre of horror zombies. The style of the movie

20. is shown as found footage as the movie is supposed to give the impression of raw footage
found but someone else who is watching the scenes the reporter’s cameraman has filmed.
The movie is unconventional as the zombies are more aggressive and more faster than
other zombie on any other movies as they are suppose to be slow and just want to eat
whereas the zombies in this movie, they are shown to be more
Narrative:
The narrative for Quarantine is linear as is is showing the storyline in chronological order.
The movie is not in non linear as it shows the storyline in order and it doesn't confuse the
audience because they know that the movie has started with a scene that explains how the
rest of the scenes will happen. The movie is closed narrative as there is no cliffhanger at the
end of the movie and it doesn't leave the audience questioning what will happen next and if
a next movie will be made to finish of the previous movie telling the audience what happened
after the final scene. The final scene ends with Angie being dragged back into darkness buy
another subject, this shows that the movie has ended as she has been taken away and not
seen her anymore. Finally, the narrative is single stranded as there is only one storyline
which shows only one main storyline. There is no other storyline apart from showing the
scenes of the building with infected people and the fire station. It is good that Quarantine
only uses a single strand as it will not confuse the audience if there are many different
storylines and it will make the movie seem more real as it is in the style of found footage.
Camera work:
For camera work, it shows in the movie that there is no use of tripod throughout the whole
movie as the movie is based on found footage and later on in the scenes, the scenes are
shown to be shaky as it is meant to be
looked like someone is holding the camera
whilst recording everything they see. There
are uses of long shots to show that people
are running around and panicking as this
shows their body movements and shows to
the audience what the characters must be
feeling. Also, by using long shot angles, it
will allow the audience to see how the
characters act and show how they are
feeling as their body movements will
suggests this. You can see from these two
images that there is a use of long shot
angle and close up as it is showing body
movements of the characters and close up
of the face expression to show their
emotions and how they feel.
Editing:
The movie Quarantine is made using found footage. It is using found footage to present the
whole film because it is made to show the audience that it is found footage because the
movie is based on a reporter who is filming their whole experience and needs to record
everything to show people what they are seeing. Also, there use of raw material as there is

21. not much editing done to the actual film because it's suppose to give the audience the
impression of actually being in the movie and showing them found footage as the movie is
recorded based on a reporter’s task which is to
film what is happening in the building. There is
evidence of ellipsis as one scenes has been
cut from one scene to another scene to
suggest that minutes or hours have been
passed as the camera has been switched off
but then starts recording again. There are
hardly any cuts used in the movie as they
cannot edit any scenes because of the style of
the movie and cannot edit the scenes because
the movie has been made for a person to pick
up the camera and watch the footage as it just
is. However, by not having any editing
techniques used in the movie, this will test the
actors acting as they will need to be acting
correctly throughout the whole movie as if they
stop recording at one scene, they will need to
have the same positions as they were in the
previous scene so no errors will occur and that the time needs to be filmed properly and on
time to make sure that continuity is kept the same throughout the movie. If there was more
uses of editing techniques,it would make the movie seem less real and take away from
verisimilitude.
Sound:
The sound in Quarantine is used as diegetic because as the movie is recorded as found
footage, there will be no use of non diegetic sound because it would defeat the purpose of
the movie being found footage is all of a sudden uses of non diegetic sound as non diegetic
sound is mainly used for scenes in movies to add extra music in the background to make the
audience feel more attached to the cnes and make tension rise in the scenes. Besides, if
there is use of non diegetic sound this will confuse the audience because the movie is
shown as found footage and it will make the movie less real and mess up verisimilitude.
However, there is sues of asynchronous sound such as the gunshots, helicopter and sirens

22. in the background which has an effect as it makes the scenes more realistic and it is
expected to be heard as the characters are entering a building that required help from public
services and gunshots are heard as there are people who die from being shot. There is no
incidental music as there is no use of non diegetic sound. The obvious form of diegetic
sound is dialogue and there are many scenes of people speaking to one another. There is
use of synchronous sound such as, screaming and shouting as it used for a purpose
because people in the movie are scared and are panic because of the situation they are in.
For example. The police man starts shouting at people to get them to listen to him and
people start screaming when they see the people who have been infected turning into
zombies. Furthermore, when there is the use of dialogue, there is also use of breaking the
fourth wall when there is a person looking and speaking directly at the camera. The use of
the breaking of the fourth wall is at the beginning of the movie when Angie is telling her
research to the camera as she is a reporter and another scene is when the policeman has
just shot the ld women living the building because she was
infected and was going to kill them. She looks at the camera
and speaks as she goes to grab it because she wants to see
the footage that was just captured. This is evidence of ellipsis
as one scenes has been cut from scene to another scene
which suggests that minutes or hours have been passed as
the camera has been switched off but then starts recording
again. There are different accents in the movie such as
American, British and there are some characters that don't
speak english in the movie. There is a diverse of accents. For
example, the policeman speaks in an authoritative manner
and he is telling people what to do. Also, Jake the firman,
speaks in a more informal manner and has a calmer tone
than the policeman as he just shouts at people which makes
them feel more worried, but Jake makes them feel safer and
reassured as he is speaking to them calmly and they listen to
him because he is reassuring it still has the authority. Angie
firstly speaks calmly and formally when she is speaking to the
camera but then later on speaks informally as she swears
and is shouting and screaming. Overall, at the beginning of
the movie,everyone is speaking calmly to each other and in
an informal manner as they feel relaxed and calm, but near
the end of the movie, everyone is shouting at each other and rushing what to say as they
feel scared and are panicking.
Mise-en-scene:
There are varieties of mise-en-scenes used in this movie as it used for a purpose, such as a
colour of clothing that a character may wear is to indicate a reason for why there are wearing
that specific colour of clothing due to their personalities. For example, in this movie, there is
a policeman who wears a uniform throughout the whole movie, this suggests that he is
important as he wears a uniform which means that he has an important job and the colour of
his uniform is a dark navy colour which represents that he is masculine and has power as his
job gives him the authority to tell other people what to do and make sure they listen to him.
The use of mise-en-scene is important in the movie as there are many different characters
with different occupations and have different characteristics. Misc-en-scene allows the

23. audience to identify what personalities the characters have, for example, if a person wears a
piece of colouring that is in the colour white, this means that they are innocent, if a person
wears a blue clothing this suggests that they are intelligence. Moving on, props are also
used in the scenes as they are used for a purpose by a character. An example of this is,
when the policeman pulls out his gun. The reason he pulls out his gun is to threaten the
other characters in the movie to listen to him as he thinks he is incharge of everyone, but it
also suggests that he is scared as he thinks that by having a weapon, he can control
everyone and thinking that he has all the power. The weapon symbolises power which
suggests to the audience that he can control peoplebecasue of the weapon he has. The
weapon suggests that the policeman only points the gun to the other people to show that he
is scared and threatened that he will lose his control so he feels he has more power over the
other people in the movie. On the next page, when you look at the images captured from
the movie, you can see that in almost every picture there is dark or very low key lighting.
This suggests that the area the characters are in represents badness and evilness as the
dark tone suggests the place is not safe and there are no warm tones to suggests that there
is safeness, but there isn't. The only warm toned colours are in the police station but that is
the only building that represented safeness.
This is the image of the policeman holding the gun pointing to the people in the movie. You can see
the look on his face shows scarceness and feels endangered as he thinks that he will not be able to
control the people and that his authority will be lost, so he feels that he has power with his gun.

24. This image shows the policeman and fireman standing next to
each other as they speak to the people in the building. You can
see that they both are wearing somewhat uniform which suggests
that they have power and are in charge.
This image shows people wearing hazard suits as they come into the building. The use of
the hazard suits suggest that the area is either in danger or infected as hazard suit are
only worn if people need to be protected from a dangerous subject. You can also see that
the colours of the area they are in are dull and cold colours as it suggests that there is
something wrong and there is no light to show some sort of safety.

25. The image shows the veterinarian. He tell the character sin the movie that he works with
animals and he has a rough idea of what the infection as he has seen very little similar
results but nothing quite like the one in the movie, which turns people into zombies. The
colour of his shirt is a grey or dark blue colour which suggests that he has wisdom and is
smart.
This image shows Angie wearing a white t-shirt whilst holding the keys that belonged to
the caretaker of the building. The colour white represents primary and innocent, and the
keys are a symbol of hope as it allows the characters to feel that they have a chance to try
and escape out of the building as it opens all the doors of building.

26. The image on the left shows the use of the needle used by a person wearing the hazard
outfit. The needle suggests that they are trying to knock out the fireman who has been
infected. It will allow him stop hurting the people in the movie and protect everyone else who
has not been infected. The image on the right shows the use of a drill as the hazard man is
using a tool to get a sample of the infection to use it to find a cure for the infection that is
causing people to turn into zombies.

27. These three images show newspaper clippings, lab rats and the tape recorder gives
context to why the infection happened and why it happened. It suggests that someone that
lived in the building had something to do with the infection as the objects are someone’s
room that lived in the building. The movie doesn't tell the audience why it started, as there
is another part of the movie which explains more about the infection, this movie just shows
the effects of the infection and how people have to survive from not catching the
infections.
The juxtapose between these two locations is that one location is safe whereas the other
locations isn't. The image on the left shows the location of the fire station, the warm and
bright colours suggests that the area the characters are in are safe and the lighting is very
bright representing safety and no evilness presence as they are no dark or low key
lighting. In contrast, the image on the right shows the location of the old building, you can
see that even when the characters enter the building, the lighting is very low and dull as it
represents grey, blue cold colours to show unsafeness and suggests to the audience that
something is wrong with that location and feel sinisterly because of the different vibe from
the fire police station.
