‘Get Out’ Holiday work

 ‘Get Out’ Holiday work


Interesting Examples of:


Camera Angles 

‘POV’ shot of what Chris can see whilst in the ‘sunken place’. The shape can relate to the shape of a TV, which could be really upsetting for him as that’s what he was watching whilst his mother died.


Camera Movements 

The handheld tracking shot of Chris trying to escape is great at capturing the sense of panic as the camera is shaky and unstable.


Editing techniques 

The use of quick cross cuts builds up speed and intensifies the tenseness you feel as a spectator wanting Chris to escape.


Sound 

The sound effects used when Chris is falling into the ‘sunken place’ really fits the moos. Its low pitched and really eerie.


Mise-en-scene  

The way that everything is extremely symmetrical, and monotone brown colours makes you quite uneasy and creeped out. Usually symmetrical things are aesthetic but considering the circumstances it gives off the opposite mood.


Colour 

Blue tones make everything darker. Very monotone and fits the mood being set in the scene.


Lighting 

The lighting in this scene and in the ‘sink into the floor’ scene is very similar which can make you start to question what’s real and what’s not.
