The music during the showing of the production companies is
powerful and builds tension as the music becomes stronger as we get closer to
the beginning of the film (the scene with the water). When we see the crashing
of the waves, the music mutes to so all we hear is the water crashing which
helps us understand where we are. The director has chosen to use many close ups
on the protagonist because doing this tells the audience that he is the main
character. The sound of the children playing becomes muffled and echoed to give
the effect that there is water in our ears. The children playing shows a hint
of innocence due to a child being a stereotype of innocence. When we see the
man with the gun, the director uses a low angle shot to look up to him showing
that he is more powerful than the protagonist at this moment in time.
We then get a wide shot of the landscape and a house to show
us that the people who has found him are antagonists. We then get a shot of the
main antagonists back which emphasises that he is ‘top dog’ and makes the
audience see how dominating he is compared to everyone else in the scene. We have
a close up on a gun and a spinner which shows that they have an importance in
the film and this to be the start of a quest. There is then a wide angle shot
of the room showing the audience where we are and potentially how rich the
antagonist is.
After a small introduction to the antagonist and
protagonist, we suddenly cut to another period of time showing another
conversation and confusing the audience due to being jumbled around. The protagonist
we see earlier is in this scene so this may tell the audience that we have gone
into his memories of another meeting in that particular household.
