7. High angle shot
We are looking down at the character and she is dead on
the floor. It looks like she has been killed with amount of
blood loss this is a typical convention of a horror which is
blood and gore.

8. Low angle shot
It is slightly below eye level. This shows
the main character is important in the film
and he is the most dominating character
in the scene.

9. Pace
• At the start of the film it goes straight into
someone dying but after however from that
guy getting killed it takes a while to get into
the story. So overall the pace of the film is
very fast at the beginning and end but quite
slow in between.

10. Editing
• Cuts- The cuts in the opening sequence is
between the man chained up and the TV. This
shows that something bad is going to happen
because they show the facial expressions of
the guy and he is scared while jigsaw(clown on
TV) looks calm hinting that he is the one
organizing the killing.

11. Zoom
• Zoom shot is where the camera moves away
or close using lens. This shows importance to
of the character or object.

12. Pan
• A movement which scans a scene horizontally. The camera is
placed on a tripod, which operates as a stationary axis point
as the camera is turned, often to follow a moving object
which is kept in the middle of the frame.
• It is used mostly in the film when characters are speaking and
the camera is moving from one to another.

13. Tilt
• A movement which scans a scene vertically, otherwise similar
to a pan. They used this type of movement when they showed
some of the deaths to show what is happening to them.

14. Mise en scene
This shot shows what and who is the scene.
For e.g. the tv in the corner, the light on the
ceiling which suggest it’s a horror because the
rest of the room is dark.

15. Setting
The setting shows where most of the movie
is in for e.g. the saw is set mostly inside in a
layer.

16. Costume
This costume is what the actors are
wearing. In this film there is a man in a
clown mask this suggest it’s a horror
because clowns scare most people.

17. Figure expression
This shows the emotion of the person face. So
the man in this shot is scared and is trying to get
out of he chains he has got on him which
suggests something bad is going to happen.

18. Props
This prop is an axe in the film. This shows this
axe is going to do something bad because of
the genre of the film which is a horror.

19. Sound- Diegetic
• The start of the film you hear the sound of
thunder and lightening. This shows the start of
the film is dark which reflects the man lying
on a slab in the dark.

20. Non-diegetic
• Before the thunder and lightening played in
the film. They use this spooky music in the
background to create a scary and tense
atmosphere before the start of the film.

expression between two characters.
This can tell a lot about the characters
relationships in the film.
