analysis on 'Let me in'

1. Film makers use the camera in ways that would let us to understand the film better. A lot of shots were focusing only on one thing in a shot, by fading everything else out. This is done, so the audience can focus on one and main thing at that moment. This was done because there is a lot going on and a lot of action. there was some bleared out shots used, from patients point of view, to show us that it is something serious that has happened to the patient. His vision makes me wonder of what happened.

2.Subjective use of camera was used at most times, specially while having a conversation between the main character and Abbie, bullies at school an so on. Everything else as: Abbie killing was objective because the main character either watched it or wasn't involved in it.

3.Mise en scene was very good, because of interesting way of showing Abbie, and that she is out of this world (different), because of the way she acts and the way she dresses. It is cold winter outside, but the girl is walking with bare feet.

4. At the beginning the film doesn't seem like what it was at all. It is quite confusing. From the beginning there was disequilibrium because of the atmosphere and mis en scene. there was some strong friendship moments, that made me smile, so there was also some equilibrium. Film was very unpredictable.

5.Sound used was usually very tense at some moments, to make the shot more affective. There was usually a special sound, that would let us know, that danger is coming, that someone is going to get killed.

6.Targeted audience for this film would have to be over 15 and no one with heart problems, because this is a thriller. Also I wouldn't advice and old people with health problems to watch it.

  1. Well done Simona. Lots of points made and good responses. You are attempting to engage with the different elements which make up the construction of a film however, you need to use media language more accurately.

    SOme useful terms: focus and defocus, low key and high key lighting, subjective and objective camera angles
