Evaluation Task 1

From these nine screengrabs, it is clear that the female has more power and dominance in the plot. There are not only more screen shots of her to indicate this, but;

• The screen shots of her are uncomfortable CU shots.
• These CU shots additionally let us identify with this character more than the male. 

• The typical idea of men having more power over a situation has been subverted, as the female has more control and instead it is the male who is vulnerable. 

We used elements from the film ‘Se7en’ in our thriller opening sequence.

Similar elements we included were;

·        Uncomfortable CU shots

·        Dark, moody colours

·        Extreme CU shots of an object that makes you feel uneasy (e.g scissors)

In our opening sequence we used a similar idea, whereas instead of using sharp images, we used fire to bring tension to the audience.
