Lovefield (Ratthe)
The extract begins with an extreme
longshot of a cornfield. The camera then pans across to a cell phone, money and
a purse are dispersed on the land and a woman with blood on the foot is crying
in pain. From this we then begin to realise this is a thriller as it uses
conventions of a thriller such as the blood on the woman hand and feet all
shown in extreme close-up to give enigmas on who she is. By the use of these
conventions you begin to see Ricky Altman’s theory. Another example of a
convention is with the woman screaming as the camera tracks down non diegetic
of intense music begins to play to increase suspense. It varieties from the
convention from diegetic music of the wind to adding tension music. The next
shot then begins to show a sign of the location with a crow. I believe the
director chose the crow to signify danger as that is what a crow is usually
signified as a threat. Also when the shots of the crow are focused on him with
the background being blurred to again signify the danger.
He runs to a
car that has been left on the road with the driver door opened and nervous. We
know that he is nervous due to his body language and facial expressions of him
looking around as if he doesn’t want anyone to see him.
