Second film research

The second film we watched was Creep.
The following is the description of the opening sequence;

• Dark tunnel, (scary because all you can see is torch lights)
• In the sewers i believe (dark and not very pleasant)
• Lots of fast shots on the attacker (so quick you can't see it)
• Train station late at night (nobody is there, just the woman

4 Key Areas

1. Camera

In the opening sequence is an establishing shot. You can clearly see the surroundings as well as the two men in the shot.

There is quick, snappy shots of the attacker. This is used so the audience dont see who it is and makes the attack much better.

2. Sound

A non-diagetic sound on the thing that attacks the two men.

A diagetic sound of the dripping of a pipe. This clearly sets the scene.

3. Editing

When the creature attacks the men. It quick snappy shots. This has clearly been edited to make this effect.

When the woman cannot get out of the station, there is a shot in which has the closed doors in the foreground whereas the shot is focusing on the woman. The shot was clearly filmed at the same time and just edited to be shown again after a few other shots.

4. Mise en scene

Set in a dark tunnel. This creates a scary atmosphere because it is very dark and all you can see is torches from the two men.

Torches. These are used for dark places. These were appropriate props for the atmosphere.
