sequence shots
The title 'Hide and seek' presented to the audience in red connotes danger which should be expected throughout the sequence.
The transitions are used to give the audience an idea of the emotions of 'Maddy'
This is a shot of the interview. As you can see the light source is very dim and you can only make oput the outline of Maddy whereas you can see the police officer quite clearly.
The is the shot where Maddy attempts to hide but the attacker finds her. As you can see we still keep his identity hidden.
This is a still frame of a tracking shot during one of the flashbacks, this is where Maddy is being chased by her attacker.
This is a close up off a shot of Maddys feet running, this is used in a flashback and it is used with a match on action.
This is a close up of the attackers face. This is the point in the sequence where Maddy remembers who her attacker was (the police officer) so this is the climax of the sequence.
Review of 'Hide and Seek' opening sequence
'Hide and seek' is a Thriller set in an empty building. The main character is a girl called Maddy who has been attacked and abused by a stranger which she cannot remember.
While being interviewed in the police station however, she starts to get flashbacks, and eventually remembers that the person who attacked her is the police officer interviewing her.
Sound:
Throughout the sequence there is creepy music played, like a little childs music box.
Lighting:
Where the interview is taking place is extremely dark with just enough lightsource to show the police officer.
Mise en scene: The only props used were during the interview, with the desk and the recorder
Editing: There is fading text used during transitions
Shots: Tracking, pans, close-ups and long shots were all used for different reasons and to connote different things.
The opening sequence addresses our target audience in different ways. At the start of the film there is a black background and words to describe emotion even though a character hjas not yet been introduced.
We catch audience attention by keeping Maddys face hidden during the interview although we show it during flashbacks, this could mean that something happend to maddy when she was caught, but the audience dont get to see the outcome.
The music box effect at the start of the film grabs the audiences attention with its mysterious, creepy sound.
