9 frame analysis (Thriller-SE7EN)
The following has been done by my crew and me as we wanted to practice for our original 9 frame analysis.
This first frame is an extreme close up on a book so this
creates some mystery as the audiences are wondering what this book is and why
has this been shown in a extreme close up, The titles are very distorted, and
look jagged and not welcoming, which tells you that it is not a romantic movie.
The big element of this shot is the enigma of the book and what is in it; this
is a key element when it comes to thrillers.
This second frame shadows the first frame as the darkness of
the film is carried out to the second frame as it uses dark colours this shows
that it is going to be a dark film. It gives a sense of thrill, because you
want to know what is hiding in that darkness, also the picture of the hands
makes you wonder whose hands they are. They have used low key lighting in this
scene as well which adds to the tension of this scene.
This third frame is the name of the film, and as you can see
it is very dull and dark as it does not used any bright or vibrant colours for
the title so from this you can see that this is going to be a dark film not a
love story film. The text font is an unusual font as it is uneven and faded so
this has not been used that much so this type of writing looks rough so you can
tell that this is going to be a dark film. The use of the background colour
black tells the audiences that this is going to be a dark film. The
mise-en-scene is pretty plain and simple, yet effective because it stands out
even though it has standard colours.
This fourth frame is an extreme close up of someone writing
or logging in a book of some sort, and there is an effect where it looks like
they have been writing for a while so people are left thinking who could this
person be or what are they writing creating mystery.. The mise-en-scene is well
presented in this frame of the film opening because of the extreme close up you
only focus on that specific area of the frame which makes you want to know who
is actually writing in the book.
This fifth frame is an extreme close up of a page and
someone is filling in some parts of the text with a black pen so the audiences
if left thinking what are they doing or what are they trying to find therefore
this create suspense. This shows a key element in thriller movies which is
mystery because you don’t know who is doing this or why he is doing this, this
gives you a sense of mystery which is a massive part of a thriller movie.
This sixth is an extreme close up of a picture which looks
like a boy so this attracts the audiences as they are left thinking who is this
boy meant to be and what relevance does he have to the film. The titles are a
big contribution to this frame because it says a lot about the movie or the
main character in the movie, the font is not straight or organised and the font
is displaced around the page, which could mean that the main character is
mentally unstable, if it relates to the font., the mise-en-scene is the low key
lighting which is dark all around the central image, which attracts the
attention towards the centre of the frame.
The seventh frame is an extreme close up of a picture on a
man with a sharp object in the back of his head and you can see that some of
this guys hair is cut off so this may indicate to the audiences that this is a
physiological thriller as this look unusual maybe he is logging his killings or
he is a police officer looking at a murder. The mise-en-scene is the lighting
which is dark all around the central image, which attracts the attention
towards the centre of the frame.
The eighth frame has a pitch black background and bright
white text, this stands out against the black background which draws your
attention and from the background colour this may suggest that it is going to
be a dark film, the black background could also represent evil and the white
text could mean hope
