Analysis of Micro-elements in Thriller Project

Cinematography
Hand-held shot - the audience sees what they are seeing.  This entices the audience into the introduction. It also creates distortion as the view is limited and you can't see what's around in the location.
Pan - There's a pan around the Saul and Hakan which builds up the tension and you know that something bad is going to happen.
Close-up - The close-up of Hakan and Will's face emphasis the emotion of the scenes
High angle - Shows vulnerability of Saul as Will comes from the higher ground


Mise-en-Scene
Blood - the use of blood shows realism of the scene and makes the audience sympathize with Saul.
Chairs - Saul was using the chair as a prop in which he was tied down to the chair.  Use of props again shows realism of the scene and shows that he is trapped.
The Location - the location looks deserted and in the middle of nowhere which builds  up suspense amongst the audience because anything can happen.  This also builds up on the point that he is trapped and he has nowhere to go.  
Facial Expressions - no one looks happy - everyone looks sincere and this gives it a more serious tone.  The audience are going to have an idea what sort of film it is going to be.
Colour - there are lots of dark colours, nothing is bright.  There is also the use of black and white which furthermore shows the genre of the film - the audience aren't going to expect a comedy.
Costume - Saul is wearing a white t-shirt which highlights the blood which contrasts the blood and shocks the viewers.


Editing
Black and white scene - this is used to clearly show the flashbacks and so the audience realize this.
Reverse footage - the footage stuttered when panning round Saul - it gives off a delusional effect which emphasises the genre of the film.
In-shot zoom - the zoom was from a medium shot to a close up shot - this showed the sincerity in Will's facial expressions and from this the audience will realise Will's intentions.


Sound
Diagetic sound - Hakan speaking, the train passing and when Will punches Saul - you can tell where the sound is coming from.  The audience realise the grittiness of the film.
Non diagetic sound - this includes the soundtrack in the background of the opening.  It keeps the pace of the film and creates suspense and tension.  The sounds are quite tinny and penetrating to hear which makes the audience feel uneasy.


Special Effects
Gun noise - This is used to create realism and shock the viewer.
