OPENING SEQUENCE ANALYSIS

CAM/SAM

Close Ups Extreme Close Up

This is a close up shot of the

contents of a ‘toy’ box that is

shown at the beginning of the

sequence.

This is an extreme close up of a

crayon in the ‘toy’ box. We can

see a hand (presumably a child’s

hand) picking up a crayon, but we

are kept in suspense as to who

the child/person is.

ANGLES

Canted Angles

This is a Canted Angle.

Its there to disorientate the audience.

It is shown from the view of the person colouring in, rather than how the

audience sees it.

MOVEMENT

These screen grabs of two different objects are to show the movement of the camera in

the film.
