Linear structure.
The structure for this film is linear. The order of event taking place are all in order even though the camera angles are quite intense, jumping between different views it which makes it difficult to keep up with. Yet the movement through the trees leading to the chase of the deer all happen in sequence.
Thriller Codes and Conventions.
The question and Answer module is used throughout the introduction. we are constantly questioning the story line- who is the chasing the deer,why, is it human, what does it want it for, is there something we should know? This also links with prtial vision, we can't see the whole picture and are seeing angles from a point of veiw we can't see. this keeps the audience hooked and wanting to watch on. There is also an element of the exotic as we are put into an enchated forest to start the film.This gives the ideology that the film isn't going to be a real life setting and the suspense of natural laws.
Mise-en-Scene.
In the opening we hear the girls voice, this establishes a key character as she talks about herself so we asume shes a key character, possible the person we are not shown chasing the deer. We hear her talkinng about her visions of death and fromt he beam of light we could asume that the story bases itself on this gril and that her story is immortant. The bright scenery almost shows resemblence to a dream as it seems far from reality.
Graphics.
The graphics used are shown significatnly later. This effect makes us concentrate on the introduction of her voice and then it introduces us the tittle. i think this is used significantly, alsmost as if to signy that the story is about to unfold. Also no actors names are given and are left until the end of the film.
Sound.
The music in this introducition fits in well with the enchanted forrest. Almost music of birds and harms gives a calm, soothing effect as well as the false security of the deer. This is blended with the non-digetic voice of the girl is at first calming yet turns disturbing along with the music as she begins to talk about death and her own death. The music changes very abruptly as the chase begins, with a low beating which speeds with the panic and adrenaline. It then becomes lighter though as we reach the end of the introduction, the deer is caught and the light begins to set.
Camera angles.
The camera shots and angles used in this scene are very intense. It starts off with a close of off the forrest and we are shown the setting as it pans out and then moves into a low shot with gives the point of veiw of what ever is coming up behind the deer. An over the sholder shot is also shown onlooking the deer which gradually turns to a crane shot highering to be above the deer looking down. This image then swtiches as we are shown a close up of the deer with its calm and unaware face. A panning shot is also used loking through the trees down to the opening were the deer is. We change shortly to a hand held shot used from our unseen character running as we hear his movements throuhg the grass . The ending camera shot shows a low ange as the deer jumps into the clearly and the light then fades out the image.
Editing.
An axis on action it used as we see the villians piont of veiw showing his surroundings and puts the audience in its shoes of what he can see. A tracking shot it also used through the chase with a zoom in of the deer to show its sudden fear. There is alot of cross cutting at this point were we switch to sudden moments i time of the deers movemtns through the trees and making its escape. Lastly a long tracking shot is used to show the deer and villian as they move throught the forrest.
