The Ring I Part 1 0001 - YouTube
3:20-7:15
In the opening scene with the clock is a zoom in. The scene and camera movement is to create an uneasy feeling. The clock is ticking almost like it counting down last minutes of your life until you die. This is to make you feel scared of what might happen and to make you feel uneasy about what will happen next.
The scene when the phone is going off is a static. No movement as the characters speak on the phone. This is also creating an unsettling feeling as you cant look away. The the shot is a mid shot, this is also to show the character facial expression change from serious to relax.
when the character is walking to the front room, the framing feels like a POV. That scene is created to make you feel what the character feels. It the feeling of scared, uneasy, but at the same time curious about what could be happing in the front room.
the scene after that is an estabing shot. This is to show where the characters is located what what the area looks like, such as the kitchen. The scene is trying to make you feel nervous as you look at it, expecting something to happen like someone to appear in the window or something falling to the ground.
As the character is walking upstairs, the angle is a ground level angle. this is haunting because you are watching the character walk up the stairs slowly, but also tracking the water that is coming from under the door, this is to create something scary and haunting, but in a way curious.
This is a great analysis Claire!
ReplyDeleteI love how you've really considered the choice of camerawork and the effects of those choices.
