Analysis of still shots


This is an over the shoulder shot where we can see the two characters conversing; this is a very useful shot as we can see bot of the characters, while it gives us a broader range of shots. The mise-en-scene is a wood, where it is quiet, secluded and where nobody can see an unsavoury act occur. The costumes are different from what you might expect the Protagonist is shown here as a female, wearing clothes generally associated with a rocker, and I did this because it allows for a certain blurring of who is likely friend and who is foe.


This is a close up of the antagonist dying, we have used this shot because not only does it show how helpless he is in death, but we can also get a very good reaction shot of what has just happened.

This is a long shot of the protagonist walking away from the dead body of the antagonist, this is very striking because it symbolizes the end of an ordeal for her, but it also symbolizes how she is feeling, the lighting is quite dark and dreary and that is how she is feeling also. The woods again prove a very conventional mise-en-scene namely because it is away from prying eyes, increasing the tension.
