RESEARCH- Previous student film analysis

This is a AS final Thriller Opening: The List

I watched this thriller as part of my research for thriller openings. The task was to find a previous film opening and analyse it. I went to 'Hall of Fame'  to select the film opening. This opening is quite gruesome, there is blood everywhere and meat cutting and also a young girl who seems to be psychotic.

Mise en Scene:
This is the setting and props used in the opening. It is clearly set in a kitchen where it is visible that a murder has happened and this person is cooking them. The props would be the cooker, knifes, chopping board, onion, meat hammer etc. 

Camerawork:
The scenes from the opening have many different angles. There are many close-ups of the meat, which makes the audience feel a bit sick as it is very bloody and gruesome. There is also a mid shot of a cup, which has had blood poured into it. There are also over the shoulder shots and high angle shots and etc.

This is a close up of the meat

This is an extreme close up

This is a high angle shot

This is a over the shoulder shot

This is a mid shot

Sound:
There is non-diegetic sound which has been put in order to make it eerie and gruesome to add to the thriller theme. Also there is diegetic sound, which is of the cooker and the chopping of the meat/onions. 

Editing:
This has been edited to look darker to add to the thriller theme. The pace is quite slow to show what is happening and gives a hint that this person is quite crazy.
