3/16

The director uses a opening extreme close-up shot of the main characterseyes. This gives the feel to the audience of uncanny as it is something that is

familiar becoming unfamiliar. This shot is also known as a eye line match

which also creates enigma. Shallow focus is used to emphasise the focus on

the eye which causes the opening shot to be disorientated and creates a

feeling of being uncomfortable as her fear is evoked through this.

A monologue of the protagonist whispering as she explains part of the

storyline. The fact that she has lost her memory. This is used to introduce the

character and he narrative to the.


4/16

A fragmented flashback

event, taking us back to

when she lost her memory.

A non-diegetic crescendothen plays which is

reflective of the flashback.

This creates an eary feel

making the audience feel

uncomfortable. Overall this

combined effect highlights

the significance of theseevents taking part in the

flashback but also reflects

on the state in which her

memory is in.


5/16

It then repeats the opening shot of the close-

up of the eye whilst there is non diegetic

sound of the dialogue Im scared once again

creating a sense of mystery as we have no

idea why she is scared and who is she with.

Once again expressing uncanny.


6/16

Another track is used , In order to indicate to theaudience that it is a change within setting (spatial time).

A gentle low angle pan is used to create a sense of

confusion. the duration of the shot is extremely quick

suggests a rapid decline in the character memory, she

doesnt know where she is. a sound bridge is usedintroducing the next character of ben before he is

presented visually .


7/16

A sound bridge is once again used of the telephone this was used in

order to see her reaction. This creates enigma and mystery as it

makes the call seem ominous. Therefore the sense of the unknown is

strengthened. A sound bridge is then again used which is asincrance

to the actions, the minute the phone is answered it cuts to an exterior

shot of ben leaving the house which conveys that it is being hidden

from him. Lastly a sound bridge is again used of doctor nashsvoice .

At this point we dont get to see him adding to the enigma created by

the director.


8/16

A multiple amount of static still

images is used, accompaniedby doctor nashs clear

explanation , as he explains

how they have been doing tests

on her memory . This also helpsthe audience understand what's

happening within the storyline

without giving too much away.


9/16

a fade to black is then used in order to indicate to the

audience a change in location and to denote a shift in

time this is called narrative lacunae (which means a jup

in time). This overall helps the audience to relate tochristen as we are now also experiencing random jumps

in time.

As well as this the plot begins to thicken through the use

of the music. As it injects a feeling of a fast pace and tisis also expressed through the Ariel shot that is used

showing that things have moved on ; that it is a new day


10/16

Character three is

then introduced

visually (doctor

nash) therefore the

dialoge now

matches the action A fragmented and speeded up versionof what happened to Christine

expressed through multiple shots within30 seconds this A fade to black and

crescendo is then used

after Dr Nash says the words No one

by you. This helps to emphasise the

large amounts of pressure that is being

put on Christine to be able to rememberwhat happened. It also represents

themes such as isolation as she must

feel so alone and helpless in trying to

recall her memory. At this point the

music escendo to emphasise the

mysery of the thriller.


11/16

In order to persuade the

viewer to watch it .


12/16

The complication is introduced , as Christine begins to askquestions like why are you hiding things ?,how can I trust you ? Theinteractions between the dialogue is getting a lot faster.

Character 4 from a memory of a picture is shown, this adds anotherlayer to the mystery as it makes the audience wonder who is thiswomen ? How is she relevant to the storyline and Christine? Aswell as this why she had to stay way from Christine at the time sheneeded her the most? This leaves the audience wanting to find out

the answers to all these questions.


13/16

dont trust no one indicates another shift within the narrative

Immediate danger is expressed through the music as it is in

minor which creates a sense of unease within the audience as

it sounds off keyFollowed by another critical accolade :

Sticarto music of a distorted sound making the scenes seem

disjointed. There is a base beat that is repeated in a pattern.And makes t seem like there is desperation within the

narrative as time is running out, building the tension and

suspense this is then followed by a fade to black.


14/16

im your husband in the finally section the trailer places

the audience in the same place as the amnesiac. There

is overlapping sounds of dialogue from characters such

as Dr Nash and Ben, this makes us as well as Christinewonder who we can actually trust. It almost allows us to

see into the mind of an amnesiac and how chaotic and

confusing it truly must be. We sympathize with the

character of Christine


15/16

There is a name and a action

image at every beat of the music.
