Certificate: PG
Opening duration: 3:49
Sound:
Non-diegetic sound: music is thriller-like:
mysterious and dangerous. Gunshots, punches and swords being drawn add to the
tension and action.
Diegetic sound: the horses galloping and
running footsteps bring a sense of urgency and immediacy, showing the danger
they are facing.
Editing:
The pace builds up and quick cuts show how
rapidly things got out of hand.
Camera:
Close up: of the character ‘Edmond’
shouting “we come in peace” signifies the importance of those words as he is
then shot at by the troops.
Worms-eye view: emphasizes the power and
height of the Captain.
Mise-En-Scene:
Location: Characters on small boat heading
toward an island, and are referred previously as “idiots” by their Captain,
suggesting the Island is dangerous; and combined with the dark lit setting, it
creates suspense and a tense mood.
Props: the small boat shows their
vulnerability and insignificance.
good, even if a bit short.
