Thriller Genre - Nine Frame Analysis


Dear Readers,

To every film there is a nine shot analysis of the opening scene becuase  the most important shots happen here.



 SO here is a close high angle shot of the phone... because this where to story starts, the main factor of this scene is the phone. This statement opening shot really emphasises the phone.
Next its the slightly low angle mid shot which shows her as superior, to which to begin with she is. She rules the man on the phone. This shot of her face so soon introduces us to the character quickly.

The next shot is of her putting the phone down, The shot shows the phone as inferior due to the high angle because right now the phone isn't as important.
Then the phone rings again, and the shot gets less low angle on her, showing her loosing her superiorness as the person on the phone starts to win the conversation.

This establishing shot is shown surprisingly late in the scene (usually first shot) indicating its more of a POV shot of the person outside the house.
Then it flicks back to her, doing her own thing... the natural act of making popcorn indicates her unknownness to the situation. This shot is a close up/mid shot...

This is actually a pan shot, showing her walking to the phone as it rings AGAIN. This shot follows her, mirroring the person following/stalking her currently.
This mid shot is a good on because she's foreshadowing the fact a knife will be used later in the film, by sampling playing with one earlier. This highlight the knife as important. This also symbols her ignorance to what is about to happen.
This Shot is more about sound, because as the conversation on the phone gets more and more intense, the popcorn corresponds to the phone. It gets louder and louder, increasing the impact of this scene. 




until next time readers.... bye!
