Saw 5-Analysis

Even though I hate horrors, I did decided to analyse another opening, this opening was Saw 5. It begin with promoting Its Production company and name of the company producing. The name is called twisted pictures and when showing this title it gives the audience a feeling of what is to come as the name get twisted in barb wire and this certainly gives the feeling for the film

Halloween- Analysis

The opening of Halloween is very well shot and from it i got ideas for my own title sequence.
The Sequence begins with a point of view shot of someone walking to the front door door of a house. When approaching close to the door there is glimpses of people in the house, therefore this is setting the opening up to make you wonder who is watching these people and what is going to happen in the next scenes. The person then begins to go round the side of the house and when looking through this point of view, the audience see a pumkin through the mise en scene indicating to the audience it is Halloween (festive time). This also because of this festive time it shows that nearly all of horror films happen at a festive time. This person goes back to the front of the house and looks at the window, when the person looks they see the light goes out, and this is an indication that it is time to make a move. At this point the music has a sudden classing notes to make the audience jump and from this it picks up pace whilt this person is trying to get in to the house. A piano accompanying the other sounds create suspense for the audience, the piano is like the signature of this person as whenever something is going to happen then the piano will begin. Once getting in the person turns the light on, the person then grabs a knife from a draw and with this shot we see the first sight of this someones body therefore it builds suspence for the audience, it also creates a sense of worry and anxiety as grabbing a knife it indicates that there is going to be a death. the person begins to walk out of the brightly lit kitchen into a dark lit room indicating something is going to happen as he is going away from the nice safe lit place of the kitchen. These point of views through this persons eyes is showing us the setting where it is going to take place therefore when looking round the house, it is not only for the person to look but also to show the audience.The person then begins to go up the stairs but sees one of the teens,he then peeks round the corner and this indicating to the audience he should'nt be there and does not want to be seen creating suspense. The Boy goes down the stairs and leaves the Girl in the house alone. This gives indication to the audience that this person who is still unseen looking around the person then sees a mask and puts it on , this creating suspence that no one will know who is is because his face is hidden and also creates great mise on scene as we see the mask being worn through the persons point of view. looking for the girl, the person approches ands then begins to stab her frequently showing the weapon the person uses. At this point the music is very strong and with a strong bass it emphasises the mise en scene. It also is as much important aswell as the mise en scene to create the tension build suspense and creatre a sense of worry into the audience and preparing them for more to come into the film itself. With the music still being very strong the person or the killer now begins to leave the house very hastily before being caught, until he walks outside and two people comfront him and take off his mask, at this moment it creates confusion for the audience as we know the character who is the killers name, where he lives, that he is very ypoung and wondering why he would do this. This indicates that this opening gives the audience only a few but enough infomation and with all these questions building within all of the audience wondering what is going to happen giving a platform for the audience to want to watch it again to understand more or watching the whole film. overall i believe this opening is great opening and well directed, also the mise en scene with the music creates all of the suspense, tension and without one another it would not be as sucessful as it has turned out.

Halloween

Sev7n- Mise En Scene

In Media Studies i watched the opening to Sev7n starring Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt. The story follows a retiring detective (Morgan Freeman) and his replacement (Brad Pitt), jointly investigating a series of ritualistic murders inspired by the seven deadly sins.
The opening begins with Morgan Freeman in the Kitchen making himself a cup of tea, the Kitchen is very simple white colour and looks functional as if it is just to use the kitchen for making food and drinks, nothing more like inviting people round to his house for dinner. Morgan Freeman then goes into the also simple, functional bedroom where we see Freeman putting on his uniform. We see Freeman putting his equipment layed out on his work-like table very organisely into his pockets ready for work. When i say work-like it suggests to me that his home is very much Functional more then homely as Freeman has tables in his house you would have in work not in a home and also his bed shows no emotion, for example their are no stylist pillows, it looks just a bed for sleeping and no more. Also whilst Freeman was getting eady their was contrasting darkened and shadowed lighting creating a silohette. Next we see Morgan Freeman looking at a murder scene analysing every part of the scene showing that he is the old school cop that does his job by the book.


Furthermore, New Detective Brad Pitt (Detective Mills) walks into the scence chewing gum, this indicates that Pitt has a cocky way about him as he chews confidently, also Pitt's appearence with his coat open and his gun and badge in sight shows he is new and fairly laid back, in contrast to Freeman as he has has gun hidden and badge hidden therefore this indicates that Freeman is quite secrative and show his old school morals whereas Pitt show he is the new kid on the block by leaving his gun in sight for others to see. Once leaving the murder scene the two begin to walk down the rainy gloomy thundery road, the thunder heard and the dull colours are reflecting the murder. Freeman and Pitt began to walk down the road, Freeman walking at a constant rhythm and speed in front of Pitt indicating that Freeman is the leader and the best cop, in contrast to Pitt who walks at different speeds to try and get in front of Freeman which indicates Pitt is eagar to be the best therefore the walk down the street show the audience competition between the two. Their clothes reflect them as two different people as Freeman wears his coat closed and his hat, shirt, tie done up to his button, this all showing Freeman is secreative, don't want to give anythink anyway to no one. Pitt on the other hand has his coat open tie loose, this shows that Pitt is very open and laid back. We then see Freeman about to go to bed with his two big Lamps on, and this shows that he may have paranoi from all of the murders Freeman has deal with and don't feel safe. Freeman also has a ticker which he uses to fall asleep.
Moreover, the titles begin to role and we see the murderer cleaning and removing evidence from his fingers, cutting pictures and showing lots of writing in books, this is the murderers life. we see the murderer in black and white adcept for occasionally when we see the colour red appear giving the audience a warning of danger or blood. Showing the murderer in black and white also indicates that the murderer see nothing in between its like you have to be either good or bad.
