Like my group, Daryl's presentation and Ellie's groups presentation, Akshay, Georgia, Catherine and Emma also commented on the 4 elements but in the horror film 'Silent Hill'. The film was directed by Christophe Gans and written by Roger Avary. The story is an adaptation of the Silent Hill horror video games.
- In the opening sequence of the film there is the non-diagetic noise from a piano which is playing a haunted style of music. This immediately sends across the mood of the film as being very dark and mysterious as well as putting across the genre of the film as being horror.
- There is a low angle shot of the woman, this may show that she is the main character and also you see in the background that there is a man and he is always in the background compared to the woman, this will show that the female plays the more dominant role in this film.
- The time it is set adds a mysterious element to it, at night (common in many horror films) represents fear and the unknown.
- Different shots and especially the long shots between her and her mother shows that the mother is isolated and has a lack of control over her daughter.
- Colours of the clothing each character is wearing shows their connections - light blue pyjamas of child and light blue shorts of woman.
