Analysis of Scream 4
Rubi Ali
Shot Types
The opening of Scream 4 consisted of various shot types such as mid shots with
the a rule of third framing which allows audience to see more of setting and mise
en scene of the house. There is a close up of a phone ringing which can be tense
for audience and creates mystery. The characters are mostly filmed in mid shots
and close ups together which shows they are close to each other. Over the
shoulder shots are used in the conversation between the two characters which
allows audience to feel more involved with them.
Most objects are filmed in close ups such as the mobile phone and telephone and
there is a shot where a close up of both characters is used to show their feelings
and facial expressions.
An establishing shot is used later on in the opening when the girl opens the door,
this also creates a long shot of the character.
Iconography
There is icongraphy of knifes and masks been used in the opening sequence
already. This is conventional for horror movies and effective as it gives genre
signifiers immediately. It connotes there will be a lot of violence and daunting
scenes.
Sound
Unlike most opening sequences, Scream 4 did not have any music instead had
diagetic voices of the characters conversating. There are sound bridges where the
phone is ringing but is not shown until after. Overall, there is more diagetic sound
in the opening than non diagetic.
Setting
As many horror movies, the setting of the opening sequence is in a big house
which trees around it. This is conventional as horror movies usually have
establishing shots showing the front of the house to be standing alone
surrounded with trees to give it a creepy feel. The location in the house which
filming took place in was mostly the kitchen and living room which showed
audience more about the characters such as they are neat and tidy because their
house looked organised and clean.
Representation
The representation of the characters was effective and significant creating a stereotype of women.
The two young adults seemed to be in their early 20s who lived together in a house. One of the
women was sterotyped to be attractive and socially active and speaking to male admirers on
networking sites. This female also was shown to be afraid and weak as most women are stereotyped
to be in society. However, the second character was also a female who was opposite to her
friend, acting more brave and chilled about the situation. This represents some young adults to be
shown are strong and fearless.

  • 4. Setting As many horror movies, the setting of the opening sequence is in a big house which trees around it. This is conventional as horror movies usually have establishing shots showing the front of the house to be standing alone surrounded with trees to give it a creepy feel. The location in the house which filming took place in was mostly the kitchen and living room which showed audience more about the characters such as they are neat and tidy because their house looked organised and clean. Representation The representation of the characters was effective and significant creating a stereotype of women. The two young adults seemed to be in their early 20s who lived together in a house. One of the women was sterotyped to be attractive and socially active and speaking to male admirers on networking sites. This female also was shown to be afraid and weak as most women are stereotyped to be in society. However, the second character was also a female who was opposite to her friend, acting more brave and chilled about the situation. This represents some young adults to be shown are strong and fearless.
