This piece of cinematography is good as it
establishes character relationships, as well as bringing our protagonist more
into frame. The protagonist is in the
centre placing her as the most crucial in the scene. There is almost a corny,
conventional divide either side of her. To the right is the moral character
willing to sacrifice for others. To the left are the antagonists who often defy
the CDI in many ways. I.e. sleeping around and causing disruption. The women are also at the front with the men
at the back which is a nice juxtaposition as it shows in this scene it is they
who are driving the narrative and not the typical male protagonists. The mise-en-scene is also very typical of the
horror genre. The colours represent the ‘pure characters’ as well as the
morally ambiguous ones. The use of phallic symbols by the men is noted but it
appears in this still the real authority comes from our lead protagonist.
