In the opening scene 'Delicatessen' the use of shots were very pacific, some parts are very close up and some far. This created tension were was needed, for example when the man was locked up the camera zoomed in which showed he was sweating, nerves and was very frightened. The background music was very eerie and disturbing to listen to, it made your whole body shiver and gave us goosebumps. The types of sounds that was used was 'diegetic sound' this is sound heard by the characters or made by the characters, for example when he was breathing very heavy. This suggest that he might have been scared of something that was coming in his way, also you could hear cars and engine running which was coming from the dustbin truck. The use of lightening was very successfully done, and added up-to the eerie atmosphere which increased the audience fear. The tone of the film, seemed disturbing and creepy. The target audience for this film is more likely to be 15 and over as it is not suitable for 15 and under, because it has violent clips.

Well done Muna.
ReplyDeletewww - thoughtful and well described. You have tried to balance both the denotation and connotations of the opening sequence. Some use of media terminology.
ebi - expand the use of media terminology when describing, it is vital that you show you have a grasp of a number of key terms including the shot sizes, mise en scene, types of lighting etc.
