Analysis of Soundtrack SE7EN


The soundtrack to this video has a range of sounds used, such as: people screaming, to give a scary atmosphere and suggests something may have happened to them to make them scream. There are also ghostly voices which create tension and give you an idea about what is happening when they say something. Some sound effects are doors closing to give off the impression that he's not alone and someone is with him. The drum beat throughout the film could suggest something daunting may be about to happen. The drum beat is also in time with a heartbeat this builds up tension and makes it even more scarier. You can also hear a persons footsteps in the background throughout the video, this makes it tense  and sound like something is coming towards the person. There are also a few creaking noises in the clip, this could create tension because someone could be creeping up behind them.


 This screen-shot shows pages being turned on a book, this could mean there is a story to be told.
The sepia tint makes this shot seems old, the shot type is a low close up angle, this means that the book is going to be a significant part in the film.

This screen-shot shows someone scraping their skin with a sharp blade, the shot is a close up to show importance, and makes the people watching feel uncomfortable. 

This shot shows words that have been crossed out, the words that have been crossed out are words to do with sexuality, this could mean that the person is uncomfortable with their sexuality. 

Again, this shot shows words that have been crossed out, the words that have been crossed out are words to do with sexuality, this could mean that the person is uncomfortable with their sexuality. The shot is close up to show the relevance of the words. 

In this shot, it shows somebody's face being scribbled out, this could show that either the person isn't important or that this person doesn't want to remember the face. This shot is a close up.

In this shot, it shows someone threading a needle with blood on their hands. This shot is light, and shows relevance because of the close up shot. 

 This shot shows someone stitching pages together. This could represent the actor sewing pages up, to make a different story. A story they want it to be rather than what it is.  

The shot shows a razorblade. The extreme close up of this shot, makes people think about what he is going to do with the razorblade, or what he has done. The sharp clean shot also could represent the razor sharpness of the razor-blade. 

This shot shows someone writing something. This could represent someone writing a story, maybe something to do with the story the actor wants to tell.

This shot shows the actor finding a persons file. This file could be something to do with the story being told. 
The close up on the files means that the file is obviously relevant and that it's an important shot. 



Game Of Tig.



This was my first attempt of an opening for a thriller, I had to edit it slightly so it fit together and looked good. The things that worked well were the running and the camera angles, but the thing that didn't work well was when the people running, ran from one side of the camera to the other, the plan wasn't fast enough and this made the video look less professional.
