Mama – Analysis
Kanwal & Raj
What is the narrative of the feature film being
advertised? What is the genre?
• The narrative of this movie is basically two younger girls who
are sheltered in this alone house in the woods. When they are
discovered and found they are shown as quite feral and have
no idea how to act in society. They act animalistic as they have
had no correct upbringing by humans. Someone who knew
their family then takes them in and tries to look after them
properly only to find they have been followed by a spirit of a
mother who is attached to children as she lost her own in her
previous life. The narrative then goes on into how the spirit
‘mama’ follows them to their new house and tries to create a
barrier between the people who are looking after the
daughters are she has become attached to the girls. By
creating the barrier she is them haunting them. This narrative
clearly depicts a horror movie.
How much of the narrative is revealed? How is
this achieved?
• During this trailer quite a lot of the narrative is
revealed, but not the entire storyline. They show key
events which happen and lead up to the hauntings.
This however manages to reveal massive amounts of
the storyline yet still leave the audience with
questions to why certain things happened. This is
important because then the audience is left buzzing
and wanting to watch the entire movie and make
sense of what actually was happening. We will use
the technique of showing key events but not entire
story.
What is the narrative order of the shots? How
does it differ from the order in the movie?
• The narrative order of the shots within the trailer
don’t differ to the order within the movie as it all
happens according to what takes place in the movie.
This is something we will look at using within our
trailer because audiences then understand the story
which then makes them want to watch the entire
movie.
How many shots are used?
• 115-120
What pace of editing is used? Does the pace
increase/decrease at any time, if so why? And when?
• The pace begins quite slowly when the voice over
narrates the movie and slow scenes introduce the
girls with their animalistic characteristics.
Then, when the haunting begins the pace gets faster
and shots get smaller and flick through rapidly. Then
the pace goes slowly again and more narrating is
done, followed again by fats pace and haunting
scenes!
Are there any specific transitions used that you wouldn’t expect
in the movie itself? Wipes/fades to white/black etc. what effect
do they have? Why do you think this has been used?
• All transitions are there which I expect from
this movie, fades to black is mostly used which
gives a scary haunting effect as it makes the
on goings seem dark and unusual which they
are and then put the audience in the same
position the characters are within the movie
and becomes more horrific.
What does the voice over/text say? How does this link
in with the visuals? How does this set up the narrative
of the film?
• The voice over verbally narrates the movie and
explains what’s on going. This is helpful
because it sets the scene for the audience of
what exactly the situation is. The text also
helps set up the horrific genre as it says things
which allow the audience to understand the
issues which are going on.
How does the soundtrack help create the
genre and/or narrative?
• The soundtrack is quite slow but scary to start off
with which goes quieter then gets louder with a bang
to start off with, this then changes when more of the
hauntings are shown and the soundtrack gets louder
and more faster and the audience are scared as they
are expecting things to happen
What specific camera shots are used –
when/where/why?
• Close ups and point of view shots are mainly used
and this is throughout the whole movie when all the
haunting happens. This is because it makes the
audience realise how the person in the movie is
feeling.
