This document analyzes and summarizes several shots from a film sequence. It discusses how each shot establishes elements like location, characters, and genre. Specific shots are inspired by scenes from other films to set mood and anticipation. Camera angles, music, and props are used to convey emotions and ideas to the audience and challenge conventions. The sequence is meant to keep the audience engaged and wanting more by ending on a dramatic moment that leaves questions unanswered.

2. This is the 1st screen shot, it
establishes the location and also the
title is shown; the font we chose
foreshadows the genre of the film due
to its cracked features. The shot also
establishes the social group; a young
white male. The wide shot also
establishes the idea of someone
returning from a journey hence the
train station in the background. The
duffle bag is an association of
concealing something.
This next shot was chosen to show
the change of location from exterior
to interior. The character enters a
suburban house suggesting his
social class. The audience have still
not been introduced to the
protagonist, creating a sense of
apprehension and confusion.

3. This shot was inspired by the
shower scene from “Psycho”. The
use of fake blood gives the
audience a sense of what may lie
ahead, creating ideas and
thoughts in their heads. Blood is
convention of the crime genre.
The music used in this entire
sequence challenges the usual
conventions of the genre.
The audience in this shot are shown
the protagonists face and the
emotions he is feeling, through the use
of a low angle shot; this may make the
audience feel inferior as they are being
looked down upon.

4. This medium shot shows a prop which may
intimidate the audience as an illegal
weapon is present. The camera angle is
effective as we see his reflection as if
someone is spying/watching him. The
crime/thrller genre is re-established.
This close up helps to emphasize the
importance of the letter; another
prop. It gives the audience another
piece of information.

5. The bathtub scene was derived from the
movie “Slumdog Millionaire”. The use of
the props in this scene heightens the
sensation of anticipation and possibly fear.
The audience will expect some sort of
violence to occur due to the knife.
The next shot is a close up of money,
after the audience has seen the knife
they may believe that the money is
blood money. The typography of the
credits are bold and clear so it is easy to
read but also the colour orange is fiery
and associated with danger.

6. This is the final shot of the
character throwing the
money into the bathtub. It
is a dramatic end to the
sequence however this
effective as it keeps the
audience’s anticipation
levels high so they want
more and will contnue to
watch, to find out where
the money has come from.
