Analyses of 'Let Me In'

1.Film makers have used the camera for different purposes.  They have faded the view in and out in order for the audience to focus on one important bit. Also they have used many different shots such as medium close up, over the shoulder, big close up, long shot etc in order for the film to be more effective and to point out certain situations. 

2. The camera was used objectively and subjectively because of different situations that were shown in the film. 

Objectively is when a girl is about to attack a women from above sitting on the tree. This is because we are watching it from no body's point of view. 

Subjectively is when we see a policeman covered in blood reaching for the boy to help him get up. This is because we want the boy to help him to stand up but at the end he just shuts the door and leaves. 

3. Mise en scene used in the film suggests that the girl who is wearing no shoes is a strange character to us as she is not dressed appropriatelly and especially because the scene takes place in winter time so its cold. 

4. The opening of the film suggested that it is going to be something scary and serious because of the actions that were taking place such as a policeman questioning the suspect and also the blurred background that was shown.

5. The sound used in the film was mysterious and scary. It suggested the action will change imidiately when the sound came up and it also suggested it wasn't going to be pleasant for the audience because of the music getting louder and more scary. This was when the policeman was looking for someone in the house he entered with the gun and once he entered the bathroom thats when the sound became louder and more frightening. 

6. Some of the scenes involved in the film were targeted for audience such as 15 plus this was because the scenes that took place were scary and unsuitable for some as this could effect them. Also even for some people that it was suitable for the film seemed really scary. 

Analyses of 2 opening scenes

Lost:
At the beginning of the movie there is a mysterious,tense music played its a very slow music which sets the audience into the mood of the movie. The black background is shown and the white writing slides in on the background. Next thing that comes up is the extreme close up on the character's eye (Jack) who is on the floor as we notice it after few seconds. The camera zooms out from the this character as he is still laying down and breaths heavily. His clothes are dirty which might suggest he have been in some kind of accident as he is laying in the forest dressed in a suit looking scared and unsure of what has happen to him.
The next shot is a long shot of the dog which walks towards (Jack) who is on the floor and a close up again on jack who turns towards walking dog and looks at him very closely. The character picks himself up with pain as we can see his face expressions and the tense music carries on and gets louder and louder.The character is confused and this suggest a close up on his face when he is standing up ad looking around.  The scene takes place in the forest but we don't know what to expect next.

Devil wears Prada:
The opening scene of the movie starts with the big titles and a loud but positive music. The character we see first is a girl who is dressed up in ordinary clothes and a long shot is used to show this to the audience. The over the shoulder shot is used in order to show that the two girls are talking its a girl who came for the job interview and a girl who interviews her. The whole scene takes place inside the building.
The wide shot is used outside th building to show that something is happening in that case its the car coming and the boss inside it as the close up of the car suggest its someone important to them. A variority of wide shots are used of the place inside in order to show people running and being in a hurry.
The boss finally comes in as we see a close up first then a long shot of the women coming out from the lift she is dressed in black and has sunglasses on which might suggest she is a mysterious person that everyone is scared of. The whole scene gives the audience an idea of why are they scared so much of the women , why is she so important and is she like an ordinary boss or maybe something more.

Analyses of Thursday's lesson

On Thursday we have been given a task to do which involved group work. In groups of five we had to make few short scenes from the script we had to make earlier on. My group planned what we going to do step by step  planning carefully the number of shots we had to consider in order to make it relevant with the script and effective at the same time. Once we planned our scenes we had to also record what the other group was doing in order to get an idea of each others work. After this we have began to do our scenes. I have to admit that at the beginning it was a bit of a struggle as we didn't know if the shot we chosen will work as well as we wanted to but after trying out different things we finally got some of the work done. At the end we run out of time but i think the whole lesson was very useful and i have learned allot.
The whole idea of this lesson was to practice before we go off and make our own movie which i found useful.
