This document discusses the use of lighting, location, costume, props, and sound in various scenes from a film to create tension and different emotional responses. The lighting is used to focus attention on key characters and blur unimportant details. Changes in lighting color from green to normal represent a character's mental state. Location color changes from green to normal also signify changes in mood from scary to reality. Costumes help identify characters and match the surrounding environment or mood. Props like a birthday cake and heart monitor monitor further the story. Non-diegetic music and diegetic creature sounds are employed to build tension, resolve uncertainty, and scare the audience.

2. Lighting
• The lighting of this scene is shown because
it shows the vibe that something is
happening that is not very normal. Sarah is
unknowing of what is happening which is a
blurred image at the beginning which you
can only see candles but when it come
clearer into vision it shows that it is a
hallucination of her daughter blowing out
the candles out on her cake. Jessica is in a
dark room so she is the main focus in the
entire room. Anything and everything apart
from Jessica has been blurred out so that
only the birthday cake and the child are
shown. Reasons for this is because Jessica
and her birthday are the only things that
Sarah has on her mind. Which creates a
sense of sadness and tension that make the
audience nervous.

3. Lighting
• The lighting on this picture is
mostly centered and in full
concentration of Sarah and her
waking up from her sleep.
Whenever the lighting is limited
and there is a darkness around
most people you can always
expect something or someone to
appear out of no where. There is a
lot of shadow which shows that
there is something hiding ready to
strike. When Sarah has walked
into the corridor the color of the
whole scene is green. This creates
the affect of coldness and harsh.
There is a lot of shadows and this
makes it uninviting for anyone to
see.

4. Lighting
• In all of the scenes from this clip the
color has finally come back to reality
all of the green has been washed
away. All of the shadows that were
everywhere and even on Sarah's face
have washed away like we would
expect to see in the daylight and in
any movie. That inviting feeling is
back and everyone and everything is
in the room has finally come into
view. In the parts that are from
earlier in the scene, the signs and the
doctors that are now shown at the
end of the video were not there. It
was a complete view of what is inside
of Sarah's head and it gave a clue to
the audience that she is not okay and
something may have happened to
her throughout the film.

5. Location
• The difference in the screenshots is
that they are both the same corridor
but the only difference is the color.
When Sarah has exited her room and
gone wondering looking to see if there
is any news about her daughter and
husband she notices the change in
color. The whole effect makes an chill
run down your back and make
everything scary and freaky. This is
exactly the feeling that the whole
movie is trying to create because
Sarah is being tortured and when the
color finally comes back, all of the
reality comes into view hitting Sarah
like bricks and then she bursts into
tears. The two parts create two
different feelings; a scared and
unbearable feeling and then a
heartbreaking and sad feeling.

6. Costume
• Sarah’s costume is is stereotype
hospital outfit. So as soon at you
see her you can automatically tell
that she is a patient in the
hospital. The gown that Sarah is
wearing in the green scene
matches the surrounding, it adds
onto the whole sense of the
darkness and something being
around her. The lighting has been
changed to make the whole scene
look scary. But in the reality part
everything is back to normal and
the outfit that she is wearing is
matching the outfit of the walls. At
this point It has not got the scary
and eerie feeling anymore that has
now been pushed away.

7. Props
• This is a very significant part in
the entire clip because this is
the cake that Sarah was going
to buy for her daughter and
now that her daughter has
passed, this is the memory that
will forever be an incision in
her head. Also the heart
monitor shows an important
part because when it flat-lines
it builds nervousness as to
what is going to happen. This is
making some of the viewers
thing that she may be dead and
everything happening after this
scene is a dream.

8. Sound
• In clip 3, the non-diegetic music that is played
in the scene is at a steady pace and then when
Sarah starts running, the pace starts to
increase. As the pace starts to increase the
audience comes into realisation that
something is going to happen. As a result,
Sarah screams and then this eases the feeling
that the audience had that was unsettling and
resolving the thoughts that they have in their
minds at the time.

10. Sound
• The diegetic sounds that are in clip 4 that the
creatures are making are the sounds that get
the audience jumping. It gets them in the
heart and shocked making them not wanting
to continue to watch the movie. The sounds
are matching exactly what the movie is about
because the outcome of them is to have the
audience really scared terrified.
