Kidulthood-
Camera work-
-fast Blurry pans,
-mid shots from distance with extra characters walking past to show more of the setting this -also gives a 'onlooker' view from the audience, we see what an extra would see.
-close ups of drill and equiptment, could portray what the character is like, e.g solid,
-characters in school uniform, audience able to relate.
-threatening characters in own clothes, shows sence of unknown.
.
Sound- -upbeat music,
-parallel to the visual,
-dies down when the male character threatens the female.
-alot of differing conversations happening at once.

Editing-
-Fast pace to fit with choppy conversations.

The sixth sense
camera work-
the slow lighting of the lightbud creates a sence f mystery, we dont kow it is a lughtbulb untill it is fully light up. the cameera is placed behind shelves and follows the characters movements, this make us feelm something is watching her, th use of shaddow in this scene reinforces this as her shaddow doesnt look connected to her.
sound-
eary music, gets louder when title is shown which reminds the audience what they are looking out for, what kind of film they are watchig. the female heavy breathing focuses the audiences attention on where she is and why he might be cold or scared.
meise en scene-
the opening is set in the basement of a house, an under used area where the owners store wine, there is dust everywheere and the costume the female is wearing does not fit the setting, until she goes back upstaris.
Editing-
the scene only uses fast cuts, there are no other transitions so the audiences full attention is on thefemale character. the pace is quick, followig the characters quick chnges in what she is thinking.
knowing
camera work-
the opening shot is a close up, a girl concentrating hard and ignoring her surroundings,
sound-
the diegetic sounds from the playground and the teacher calling everyone in are heard as well as quiet the non diegetic sound of slow, chilling music. there are aso whispers, we are unsure at this point in the film but these whispers could be being heard by the girl and would therefore be diegetic.
meise en scene-
the opening starts in a playground, a setting audiences can relate to easily and have a sence of what the characters would be feeling. the girl looks out of place in the playground, she stands alone; still; silent while the other children run around.
editing-
eye line match is used when the girl is looking at the sky, the next shot shows the sun, what she had been looking at.
what lies beneath
the camera glides through murkey water, and we then get a long shot of a bathroom, a bath in the center of the room giving a fcal point for the audience.
there is tense parallel music and whispering heard until a face appears in the water when the non diegetic sound reaches a climax.
meise en scene-
character chockes and is shocked when she is first shown on screen, were we seeing her thoughts before? tension is built when her hairdryer sparks at the plug, she jumps and shrreack which shocks the audience too.
editing-
the face that appears is he matched and replaced by a female characters.cuts from females imagination (under water) to her reality, in a quick match on action shot.
When a stranger calls
camera work-
the use of flash zooming in and out lets the audience know that the girl recieving the phonecall is in the house, and the caller is watching.
sound-
the ringing phone is heard even before the title sequence finishes, but this is diegetic as it can be heard by the characters too. tension is built by eary music in the background of the phonecall and conversation. the scene that appears is a fairground, childrens laughter is made to sound frightening to add tension to the phonecall.
meise en scene-
although we dont see the caller or the girl on the phone we gain understanding about what sort of people they are through the setting and their voices, the males is deep, low and he talks in a sinister way, we gain the impression that he is standing in a fair ground which contrasts with his voice.
editing-
there are flashes of a man walking a dog which again builds the tension because the audience don tknow who he is or why he is the focal point of the shot.
This is rather overgeneralised Emma and too descriptive. If you want to get into level 4, we would to see far more analysis of the HOW - yes there may be tension or someone may be sinister, but your job is to consider why it is that you have taken up this viewpoint - how are the 4 areas (E,S,M and C) all working to achieve this? You do this in places, but not consistently enough. Where you use screen grabs, ensure that you anchor them.
