This is my video analysis for A Quiet Place
The text was an extract from A Quiet Place. The film maker wanted to show how deserted, isolated, and stranded the city was, the people that lives there couldn't make any loud noises, and how the character trying to find shelter or safe place.
The film maker uses the technical elements such as establishing shot at the start of the film where the street is looking very empty and shabby. Diegetic sound was also included such as sound of the rustling of dried leaves, the wind breeze, and the sound of footsteps when people walks. There was also a non-diegetic sound such as a thrilling scores at the start of the film. This creates a sense of how neglected the city was and implying mysteries that lies behind it as well as suggesting that the family are the only people who are left in the city. Moreover, during the scene in the shop/market the film maker started with low shot to show how lonely the character is in the middle of the neglected and dusty market stall this imply that no one has been there for such a long time and create a sense of dumped and unused things since there was a medicine, foods, and toys that was left in the market. This idea is also supported by the silence and quietness of the environment and there was no other sound other than nature and the movement of the character. A melancholy scores was also played when the character was having a conversation to show sadness and how they wanted to leave the city.
- You don't say which big idea you are discussing at the start of the paragraph.
ReplyDelete- Why were establishing shots used at the start, what was the effect?
- What effect did the diegetic sound have?
- How dies the thrilling sound suggest that the family are alone?
- Did anything else in the scene show sadness?
It is not clear what your point is because you don't mention the big idea at the start of your paragraph.
