• The primary location for clip 3 is the hospital, this is where Sarah is in the hospital bed and in the next scene she is running down the corridor. The fist scene with the cake is very important as it foreshadows what is yet to come as this place is non existent. The final location in the corridor is significant as two major characters are united together in the final scene.

MISE EN SCENE – CLIP 4

LIGHTING - CLIP 4

LOCATION – CLIP 4

• The main location in Clip 4 is the cave and this is where the main characters are walking through, after they are seen in the crawler scene. The cave is full of darkness and shadows this adds to the horror genre of the film and what it is conveying together with the symbolism of death and the screaming of the victims.

scene.

PROBS – CLIP 4

• The probs that are used in clip 4 are the torch lights and hard hats that the use to explore the caves. Theses probs are used to convey the message that it is very dark and its dangerous so they have to be aware of everything around them. There is also a camera which is used in the scene, they use the infra red feature to see what is around them. A rock is also used which is lying on the floor which has been used as a weapon. The film props are used to insure that the audience understand what is going to

happen and they bring about this sense of foreshadow into death.

SOUND IN THE FILM

• Sound in Clip 4 has an integral part to play in terms of conveying a message in this case its to introduce the Crawlers into the picture and sound helps to manipulate the fear and get the audience more interested in a particular scene. The sound in Clip 4 also creates more emotion and is a vital element of story telling.

• Sound is introduced in the beginning with the sound of the trickling water inside the cave this adds to the depth of realism and makes us image that environment even further. The sound of the reactions (screaming) to a particular event is also important as this leads us on to the most important part in terms of sound which is the Crawler jumping down and that long high pitched scream.

• Diegetic • This is the conversation between the main characters at the beginning

when they are exploring the cave and looking for a way out.

• Non Diegetic • This is the sound of the Crawler which has been added on after the scene

together with this the sound that has been created and inserted into the movie after it has been shot in the cave, the Crawler has been added.
