The document provides an analysis of scenes from the film "Bump". It summarizes that the opening credits establish the location and main characters as two girls having a sleepover. The girls investigate strange noises in the house but find only a puppy, until two antagonists appear and drag the girls away in different directions. This challenges horror film conventions of usually having a single antagonist and more graphic violence.

2. Like most films ‘Bump’ starts with
some credits . They start with the
actors names with shots of the
house accompanying it. This helps
establish the location and the
people that live or are in the film.
You then have the name of the
film in the bottom left hand of the
screen. This title doesn’t help you
establish what could happen in
the film. The font that is used is
plain so you wouldn’t necessarily
know what genre the film is

3. This shot establishes all the main
characters in the film. As you can see
there are 2 girls who seem to be having
a sleepover.
They both seem very worried about
something they have heard. This is very
typical of American teen horrors. They
always have the house to themselves
and hear something that they then
react to.

4. The two main character set off in
search for the thing that keeps
making noises. This shot gives
you a very good view of the house
there in. They look like normal
middle class teens as the house
seems very well kept and very
modern
The damsel in distress is then left
alone to find what it is that is
making the noise. It is very dark and
shadows have been created. This
creates an eerie feel to the film and
it adds suspense and a tense
atmosphere.

5. Here you see they think they have
found the culprit of the noise they
all breath a sigh of relief . They
have gone into the basement and
found a little puppy.
The antagonist then makes himself
present and grabs the girls. There
seems to be 2 antagonists as they
get dragged away in 2 different
directions.
Having two antagonists challenges the
conventions of normal films. There is
usually only one. Also in horrors or
thrillers you usually see some more
gore.
