The victim, a young innocent girl, is portrayed to elicit shock and anger from the audience through her portrayal as vulnerable and carefree.
Representation of characters (1)
The document analyzes the representation of characters in three horror film trailers through their use of sound, editing, camerawork, and mise-en-scene. Male characters are generally portrayed as dominant through dialogue, protective gestures, and shot compositions that make them appear bigger or in control. Female characters are often represented as vulnerable through close-ups of their scared expressions and positioning that reveals their bodies for the "male gaze." Dark lighting and fast editing aim to depict all characters as vulnerable to the impending horror. Common stereotypes are employed, such as the "blonde bimbo" character sexualized for her appearance.
Training Day Analysis
The document provides an analysis of a scene from the film Training Day. The scene depicts four LAPD officers, including a trainee named Jake, raiding a building and finding $4 million inside. The summary analyzes the camera work, sound, editing, and mise-en-scene used in the 5-minute clip. Various shots are used, including close-ups, mid-shots, and long shots to show facial expressions and the officers' points of view. Tension is built through low-angle shots, zooms, and cuts between characters. The clip culminates in the corrupt officer Alonzo unexpectedly shooting one of the men in the building, shocking both Jake and the audience.

The summary analyzes the camera work, sound, editing, and mise-en-scene used in the scene. Various shots are described, including close-ups, mid shots, and pans that are used to convey emotions and tension. Diegetic and non-diegetic sounds are discussed, as well as how the editing builds suspense through cuts and match cuts. Details of the setting and characters' appearances are also provided in the mise-en-scene analysis.
How camera shots are used in opening sequences
1) Various camera shots are used in the opening sequence to create meaning and set the tone. Extreme close-ups on a character's face emphasize their emotions of fear, while establishing shots introduce the isolated, gloomy setting.
2) Close-ups focus on a character's expressions of terror as they experience something paranormal, setting up the supernatural elements. Medium shots show characters discussing strange events and long shots portray ghosts in the background.
3) High and low camera angles are employed to make characters seem vulnerable, tracking shots build tension as something seems to be following victims, and cuts between shots increase suspense. The pace and use of diegetic and non-diegetic sounds also create an ominous atmosphere.
Training day analysis
The document provides an in-depth analysis of the camera work in a 5-minute scene from the crime thriller film Training Day. It discusses the various shots used - including mid shots, close ups, low angles, and tracking shots - and how they are used to convey meaning and immerse the audience. For example, close ups are used to show characters' facial expressions and build tension, while low angles imply power dynamics between characters. The scene involves 4 LAPD officers raiding a building and finding $4 million, with detailed analysis of how camera techniques are employed to tell this part of the story.
Analysis Of Still Images In Horror Films
This still image shows two characters in a dark, isolated setting engaging in an exorcism. The character on the left is clearly in distress, shown through his rolled back eyes and red marks - visual cues that signify possession which is conventional in horror films. He is the primary subject of focus. The character trying to help on the right is less emphasized through placement and brighter clothing, establishing him as the protagonist providing aid. Elements like the dark lighting, isolated area, and signs of torture and possession seen in the possessed character come together to set an unsettling, suspenseful scene typical of the horror genre.
Taken movie analysis
The document provides details about the shots that would be used in a movie called "Taken" about a father searching to rescue his daughter after she is kidnapped. It describes establishing shots of the daughter's surroundings, close-up shots of her and the father's faces to show emotions of fear and worry, low-angle shots of the kidnappers to make them seem threatening, and close-ups focused on facial expressions to engage the audience and convey tension throughout the story.
Still image analysis
This document analyzes two still images:
1) A close-up of a man's face that suggests he is a villain through visual clues like his unkempt appearance and angry facial expression.
2) A shot from the movie "You've Got Mail" showing a man and woman talking in a library. Their serious demeanor and the woman holding a knife hints at underlying tension, despite visual cues like their neat appearance that point to a romantic genre.
The document examines composition, props, lighting, and character details in both shots to infer possible meanings and narratives.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Spooks analysis
- 1. Spooks Analysis Laura & Liv
- 2. LONGSHOT. This is the establishing shot, in this shot we see all four characters in the scene. The Caucasian people are sat down and the foreign people are standing up, this could makes the Caucasian people look weaker. The light through the window illuminates the characters and makes them visible to see. The people sat down stand out as they are near the window.,
- 3. CLOSE UP. This shot shows the African man looking away, the fact he is sitting down could show he is weaker and shows that he may be in trouble etc. He is looking away to see what is happening.
- 4. MEDIUM SHOT. This shot shows he is standing above both of them, this shows he has power over them both. The fact that the black man is looking down, this shows he may be in fear. Both of the people are tied to the chair as they have their arms back, this suggests they are there for a reason and seem inferior.
- 5. LONG SHOT. This shot again shows power, in this shot we see the man touch her chin and move her face away this suggests he is in control because of the use of proxemics. This makes her vulnerable and intimidated.
- 6. CLOSE UP. This close up of the lady shows her fear and the fact we can only see his hand it focuses on her face. He is holding her head up towards him to show he is above her and in complete control. Her eyes looking down avoids eye contact.
- 7. MEDIUM SHOT. This shot makes the black man look very weak and threatened. The knife is around his neck as he looks down as he is scared. The light from the window makes the man easy to see and emphasises the action.
- 8. MEDIUM SHOT. This shot we can see the camera filming the woman, this suggests she is being filmed and makes her seem humiliated and intimidated. Her eyes are looking down which shows she is avoiding eye contact with the camera and the man.
