The Ring
Analysis
The first scene of this film is a
fade in, high angled shot of a house at night, this is a typical opening to a
scary/horror film. In the background you can hear rain hitting the ground. The
camera also slowly zooms in on the house. There is also an over-voice saying 'I
hate television, it gives me headaches', this shows that the scene is going to
change.
The next shot is a two shot of
girls watching tv and the camera slowly zooms in on them both while they are
talking. They convosation is mainly one-sided and it is about something the
might happen to them later on in the film. You can also see the television
flickering on the bed and the girl's faces. there is also a faint sound of the
television in the background.
Then there's a close up of what
they were watching and the tv being turned off. The lighting is very dim in the
house that they're in. This also shows that it is night time as people have
their lamps on when it's dark outside.
After there's an over the
shoulder shot showing the girls having a convosation about something else that
might happen to them later. This shot show that even though there's just them
two in the room that she's talking to her.
Shot reverse shot of the two
girls carrying on talking about something that has happened. You can also hear
the rain hitting the window in the background. This shows how quiet it is in
the room.
Close up of the girls scared
face. She has heard about the phone call thing before from somewhere.
One of the girls messes around to
scare the other girl because she was talking about someone being told that
they're going to die.
The camera quickly zooms in on
the clock to show what time it is. Coincidentally it's 10 o'clock, as this
links into what they were talking about before.
Another close up of the other
girls face to show that she is scared/worried of what is happening. There's
also a shot reverse shot of the other girls face. They hear the phone start to
ring and they look even more worried.
Close up of the girls feet as
she's walking downstairs and you can also hear the phone ringing in the
background.
This shot shows the phone in
focus compared to the background of the shot. This shows that this is where the
two girls will be going to as it is ringing.
The girl goes to answer the phone
but before says 'This is so lame' and answers it saying 'Embry residence' and
then her face changes from a smile to a scared expression. In the background
there's tense scary music and looks at the girl. She then gives the phone to
her, she says 'hello' expecting something else but then it's actually her mum.
