Setting and Props:
It appears that they are in a underground room. There is also a large dining room table with a bunch of food on it. The walls are stones with carvings on them and there is creepy artwork on the walls.The setting they are in seems to be realistic and could be real because they didn't exaggerate anything like the colors or what it looks like. The girl had a key and she used it to unlock a door and inside was a knife. The knife seemed to be dominant because it was locked in a safe. The usage of the grapes and how it makes the creature come alive when one eats the grapes, makes it creepy and odd. The grapes would be a dominent element because it makes the creature come alive. The colors are very dark and dull. The walls are stones so the walls are grey and the food on the table is also very dark; there is a lot of red, black and brown. The setting and props show that this is meant to be a dark scene and to be somewhat frightening. The timer, that shut the door to the underground room when it goes out, makes the scene also very suspenseful.
Lighting:
The lighting seems realistic and expressionistic. There is natural lighting in the first room with the dining room table because there is lights on the ceiling. There is also natural lighting in the hall that the girl is running in because the sun is coming into the hall through the windows. There is directional lighting in the first room because it seems more bright in the middle where the table is than towards the outside by the walls. There is frontal lighting when the creature puts out his hand and the light shines directly on it. It is dark in the room with the timer in it and in the room that the little girl goes into in the very end of the scene. The directional lighting in the first room makes the scene more dramatic and really makes us focus more on the middle of the room and the creature. The frontal lighting of the creature's hand makes the viewer directed to the hand and makes the hand stand out.
Costumes and Make Up:
The costumes and make up is very exaggerated, especially with the creature. The creatures costume and make up really makes him stand out and they exaggerated it a lot to make him look scary and make people fear him. The colors of the creature are very plain. His body is white and his eyes are red, that makes him more creepy because if his costume had a bunch of colors then it wouldn't be as scary looking. The way he is shaped makes him look like a mummy skeleton, it makes people fear him more because he is abnormally shaped. The costumes and make up of the little girl are realistic and they just make her look like a little girl. The costumes and make up helped develop the meaning of the scene because it is supposed to be spooky and suspensful and the costumes and make up of the creature makes him spooky and it makes the scene suspensful because he is a scary creature chasing after a little girl.
Sound:
The diegetic sounds are from the fire crackling, when she starts to breath heavily when she gets startled and when she is running, and the noises that the creature makes. The noises that the creature makes the creature seem more terrifying and spine-chilling. When the girl starts to breath heavily when she gets startled, we know that she is scared. The non-diegetic sounds is the suspenseful music that plays when she gets the knife and when it shows the timer, there is a "boom" when she first sees him, babies start crying when she is looking at the art pieces on the ceiling of the babies and creature, it turns to dark music when she eats the grape, and there is a type of "dun-dun" noise when the creature is coming alive. All of these sounds really bring out the suspense and dark mood that they are trying to portray in this scene. The type of music that plays during particular moments sets the mood and tone of the moments and it shows us how we should feel during that moment, for example if a certain moment plays suspenseful music then the viewer will feel suspense. It turns to very dark and creepy music when she is eating the grape and that it is a dark and creepy moment.
Behavior of figures:
The camera angles are very defined because they seem to always have the creature somewhere in the background. When she is in the first room, it seems like the creature is always somewhere in the background. I liked the camera angle of when she was eating the grape and you could see the creature coming alive behind her, without her knowing. There is also a side camera on her when she is running down the hall. I liked the front camera angle towards the end of the scene, when she is trying to escape, where it it just showing her feet and then the creature chasing after her. All of these camera angles make the viewer feel the suspense and it tries to make the reader feel fearful.
