- Construction of enigmas = Why the ballet teacher is obsessed with the students and what is wrong with him. Face of teacher only reveled at the end of the sequence.
- Contrapuntal music = Eerie piano music which sounds unsettling for the class. Starts of as normal ballet music becomes slower and unsettling as the scene progresses.
- Limited information given through camera angels (E.g. extreme close ups) = The viewer can only see the back of the teacher, and close up shots of students in the mirrors, as if from his point of view. Close up of his face only shown at the end reveals things about the plot.
3 Camera Techniques
- High angled zoom setting the scene of the action. Zooming in onto ballet students from teachers point of view.
- Close up shots of the mirror so that we can use transitions to create an effect of
- someone’s reflection appearing and disappearing.
- Mid shots to show the class and tracking shots whilst the class goes on.
All of the thriller opening will be shot in the dance studio, or in the corridor next to it. Creating an eerie unknown atmosphere. To shoot them we will need a camera and tripod. We will use a tripod to ensure that certain shots are steady and accurate, as we want it to look professional and to not disturb the tension through shaky amateur shots.
