Within the first scene of this clip the use of a
non-diegetic soundtrack would be used to captivate the audience with the use of
a dramatic soundtrack. In the first scene an establishing shot is used to show
the setting of the scene, the water used could suggest the depth within the
storyline and has connotations of death/drowning. The connotations of the bird
of prey are danger and power, this could imply that the main character has authority
and power over the other characters. The extreme close up of the open eye
suggests fear due to it making the audience feel intimidated and exposed. As
the opening goes on the extreme close-up of an open mouth could imply to the
audience that the person is struggling and screaming for help due to the depth
of the river that had the prevalence of the opening scene. The reflection of
the screaming man drowning signifies to the audience that there is danger
foreshadowed. The reflection of red within the water could suggest danger and
blood, after this a man is shown in the reflection of the river which would
suggest that this man would be the reason to why the red would have been
portrayed as it is in this scene and furthermore the red could connote to how
much blood and death has been caused by the man. The shot is then zoomed out on
a girl using a mid-shot who begins talking, her diegetic dialogue is her saying
that the river is magical and lovely, this could then suggest that something is
about to happen to the river or the place but it may not be a good thing. She
is wearing what looks like a school uniform as she is wearing a white polo
shirt that can indicate innocence and purity, which goes completely against
what the clip was showing with the red/blood.
The second part of the clip opens with a pan down a wall
with pictures of famous military leader’s also legal books and a bible, which
was on top of the other books. This can then give us the impression that the
person who has the books is intelligent but because the bible is on top of the
other books it could mean that they are very religious as well. The camera
zooms out from the wall onto a man who is doing tricep drips and on his back he
has a large tattoo of the scales of justice and a cross, the scales of justice
on his back are tattooed even which could imply that he is more biblical and
violent for of justice. As the camera zooms out you can then see that he is in
a prison cell, and the tricep dips shows that he is physically fit and has
spent his time in prison training. A guard then opens his door and uses
diegetic dialogue and says, “Ok Cady, the moment you’ve been waiting for” which
implies that he is getting released from prison. When Cady walks out of is
prison ceil all of the other inmates there are standing up and looking at him
in silence that could imply that the other inmates are shocked that he has been
let out of prison. As Cady is leaving the guard then asks whether someone is
coming for him and Cady just shakes his head, this then shows that Cady has
nobody and possibly his past has done that to him and that could be that reason
for why he was in prison in the first place. A different guard then asks what
he wants to do with his books and he replies, “already read em” this then shows
how long that Cady was in prison for because he had read a lot of books and is
now ready to cause chaos. The final shot of the whole clip shows the Cady
standing in front of the prison and a storm coming behind which could imply
that Cady is going to be a destructive and dangerous as a storm, and Cady then
walking into the camera shows how savage he is.
