Previous Student's Thriller Video Analysis



Mise-en-scene: Most of the footage is filmed on a bus. The first scene is a panning shot of a bus station and then quickly cuts to inside the bus focusing on the boy sitting in the corner. At the end of the sequel  there is a long shot of the bus stopping in the middle of a town and you see everyone getting off the bus. The boys body language throughout the opening sequence is very closed and doesn't show much emotion.

Lighting: Most of the light in the sequel is provided by natural light although it seems there could be some artificial light on the bus.

Sound: Most of the sound comes from the soundtrack that covers most of the footage. At the end of the footage when the bus stops in town it is replaced by more natural sound.

Editing: Throughout the footage the cut pace is kept very slow and it cuts mostly to different angles of the  boy.
There are a lot of close up shots of the boy to express his expressions throughout the journey. there are many other different shots types which are appropriate to the relevant distance which is needed to show the detail n the shot, this would be a level three in the grading criteria.

This screen grab shows the panning shot which is used at the beginning for the establishing show when the bus leaves the bus bays and has a panning shot of the other buses coming in.

The screen grab above shows the boys face with a close up shot, which shows how the boy doesn't show much emotion.
Titles are used appropriatly and used at the relevant points during the opening sequence.
