Narrative On ‘Hide And Seek’
The opening scene of the film establishes three main characters - a young girl, her mother, and her father. Through point-of-view shots and the girl's innocent demeanor, the audience relates to her and sees her as the potential victim or hero of the story. Meanwhile, the father is presented as separate and uncertain compared to the close mother and daughter. The dark, wintery setting and eerie music suggest the film will be a psychological horror genre. Questions are left around the family's dynamics and whether the cheerful facade shown in a family photo hides a darker truth or impending danger.

What is the disruption to the equilibrium? How is the disruption to the equilibrium shown? What do we see after the disruption is introduced? Are there slow paced montages? Are there fast paced montages? What is the climax of the trailer? What enigma codes are the audience left with? (Methodology table.

Kick Ass At the beginning of the trailer Dave is not a regular guy who goes to school, and spends most of his time pleasuring himself.
