Ghost ship

There is upbeat, classical music at the start this starts of by being parallel to the mood however by the end it becomes contrapuntal to the mood. It is parallel at the start as it gives a false sense of security to the audience. This makes the ending even more shocking. The start of the opening starts off at a slow pace and lots of dissolve cuts. This is also done to give the audience a false sense of security as the scene starts of calm. At the start the camera moves around the boat showing it all to the audience. This further gives them the false sense of security as they have been shown the whole boat and they would think that nothing could go wrong. This also further emphasises how many people were killed to the audience as they understand how many people were on the boat. Before, the machine with the wire is shown the opening has high key lighting. This further emphasises that there is nothing wrong on the boat, this makes the ending more shocking. However, once the machine is shown there is now low key lighting. This makes the deaths more intense and scary and it matches the horror genre trope.
The opening of up has non diagetic, orchestral music throughout the whole opening. The music gets quite and much slower when sad things happen such as when Ellie is told that she wont be able to have a child. This is done to emphasise the sadness for the audience. At that scene the lighting gets much darker and becomes low key, this contrasts to the rest of the clip. This further emphasises the loneliness. The transition to that scene the camera moves from the nursery to the hospital. This shows the audience how much they wanted children and therefore emphasises their sadness.
Inside the prison there is brighter lighting than when he leaves the prison. This shows to the audience that him getting out is a bad thing due to what he is going to do once he is out of prison. The music is quiet as he leaves the prison and then it gets loud again once he is outside. This is done to show that now he has left prison he is going to do something bad and it would have been better if he stayed there. When he walks out of the prison it is filmed in one take until it cuts to outside the prison as the door shuts behind him. This is to emphasise him leaving prison and that he will not come back.
It starts with a non diagetic indie rock song over a montage of the teenagers having fun. This song is used as it represents that they are having fun and that they do not need to care about anything. The fast paced montage is also used to emphasise this. The start is also set in an upper class american neighbourhood. This is done to show why the teenagers don't care about anything and to show how easy things are for them.


The opening of the matrix has low key lighting. This is done because it makes unclear to the audience who the antagonist and protagonist are. This makes the escape much more intense. When trinity first starts to beat up the police it goes in slow motion. This is done as it shows how powerful trinity is and to make the fighting look cool. When she jumps the camera does a 360 around her to further emphasise this. During the fight every punch and kick is at a hyper realistic volume to further emphasise Trinity's power.
