The use of the medium close up, highlights the

disfigurement of the character’s hands, suggesting a slight

disfunctional/thriller style plot and storyline of the

film.

The dark colours suggest a thriller/mysterious theme/genre.

The change in lighting, going from light to dark, not only highlights a mysterious theme/genre. But also suggests the act being displayed is wrong/illegal or not allowed as the darkening light suggests hiding what is going.

The childish font, not only ‘freaks’ out the audience because it could suggest a vulnerability of a child character or a child in danger, but could also suggest and question the mental state of the main character as they could be too childish to make correct decisions.

The small 2x2 squares on the paper could suggest a feeling of being trapped as it, is small and claustrophobic and also the hands on top also suggests the character is trapped.

The use of scissors, not only suggests a theme of violence, but also a element of segregation and being cut off from society, possible demonstrating a lifestyle of the character with the scissors. Furthermore, we can question the capability of the character being involved in dangerous and violent acts.

The shot of the negatives-not only rather ironically suggests a negativity of the film and a darkened theme, but also suggests something went wrong throughout the plot-as negatives are photo’s that have not turned out as expected(are wrong)

The book in the background could also suggest someone is watching, and the character cutting is not alone.

The darkness of the hand cutting the negatives in comparison to the white book in the background, really emphasises the importance of the hands, negatives and scissors.

The smudging of the writing suggests a death of the words-not only adding a dark theme to the film but also a perpersful ruining of information that was once written-suggesting a illegalness or wrongness with the information written down.

The finger not only emphasises that the smudging of the written is purposely smudged or someone is ruining someone's work.

The writing looks rushed suggesting that someone was rushing while writing it not only suggesting a sense if urgency but also supporting my previous interpretation of someone hiding and the act being presented is wrong.

The use of stitching, contrasts the stereotypical feminine, gentle action of stitching to this dark lighting suggesting a darker view and theme.

The thread at the top of the paper resembles barbwire-suggesting an element of feeling trapped or imprisoned. In addition it could also suggest a danger ‘no go zone’ –causing us as the audience to question what actions are taking place.

The use of raw materials, suggests a organic, natural theme-or maybe suggests the film is set in the past.

The action of the needle could resemble stabbing action-along side the dark colours further suggesting an act of violence-as dark colours are often resembled with darker actions.

The darkening lighting specifically over the eye section suggests hidden identity and a secret/hidden theme.

The stab wound in the back of the head inevitably resembles violence and a dark theme.

The stab wound also seems quite mechanical, and almost resembles a puppet action-suggesting the person behind these image is controlling or has something over the people in the images-or is highly respected.

The picture stuck in could suggests an analysis theme or pride of the photographer displaying the images.
