Analysis of saw 2 intro





The scene starts of with a low flickering light almost like lightning through clouds and a low rumble of thunder is heard, this instantly informs the audience that the film will be dark and miserable throughout. The title then flies on making a crashing noise as is it appears to hit the screen this is important because they want the brand to have an impact. The title disappears  leaving the audience in darkness emphasizing the darkness of the next shot. There is a high pitch screeching noise in the background to emphasis the eery atmosphere. The titles fade in and out returning to darkness this could represent the characters within the film struggling to escape darkness. The first shot opens up on a flickering lightbulb it moves in and out of focus perhaps used to disorientate the audience, it is then shown again after another set of titles and becomes brighter and then return to darkness this could be used to show the irregular content of the story. The third time this is shown the light becomes so bright and fills the whole screen with a blinding light, possibly used to show the pain which the characters go through. The shot then pans across to reveal the room this is a point of view shot to to show the fear from the person. the shots are jerky and unsteady. A hand then comes in from behind the camera and turns a mirror toward the viewer, you then se a reflection of a worried looking person out of breath with blood down the side of his face. The shaky camera and lack of breath shows that the charactor has just suddenly got into a panic which could show how he is unaware of where he is and how he could have just woken up to a mysterious place.  The camera then zooms out at a high speed the fly above the person and shows him screaming loudly. we then zoom into a contraption around the guys next that has nails showing how it is some kind of killing device. A small TV then turns on and a freaky child's toy mask, and a deep scary voice.
