This document provides a series of shots from a film. It begins with establishing shots of the Universal production logo and a transition to black in preparation for the film. Several shots introduce characters on a fishing boat in the Mediterranean sea during a storm. Medium shots show the fishermen playing cards in the boat. Subsequent shots show a man floating in the water and being pulled aboard the boat by the fishermen, who assume he is dead based on his pale appearance in a scuba suit. The shots employ naturalistic lighting and costuming to set the scene and build mystery around the rescued man's identity and condition.

2. This is the first frame we see which is of the production company Universal. There is a close up
of the part of the world and from the countries a golden glow shining out as the word
Universal rotates around the world. This movement and bright colours emphasises the
production company as being world-wide and „universal‟.

3. The next frame is the finished animation of the production company Universal. It has a black
background with white dots which represent stars and again relates to Earth being in Space and
has a white glow flaring around the world suggesting its effect and importance to the world. The
website of universal is at the bottom for reference to the company which audiences can visit.

4. The next frame fades from the Universal frame to black which suggests the film is going to
start and also gives a blank canvas so the audience can pay attention and focus. It helps to
open a fresh scene to begin the film.

5. This shot is a low angle shot taken under the water looking up to the surface, the frame is light
blue suggesting we are under the water and we can see the outline the man floating at the
top. The audience are already put into suspense and tension as the digetic sound of the
storm is played.

6. This is an establishing shot of the top of the water with a boat. We can establish this setting is
in the sea and the blue lighting coveys the dark, mysterious area and also conveying the
effect of the storm.

7. The next frame is a high angle shot of 4 men sitting round the table playing cards. The
audience assume that these men are in the boat in the previous frame and the angle of the
camera suggests suspicion as we are peaking at the characters. The lighting here is quite
minimal we can see the props however not all of the men‟s faces.

8. The next shot is a more clearing view of the 4 men. The camera is still tilted as such as we are looking down at
the them but the objects and faces are much more recognisable. We see four middle aged men playing
cards with cigarettes in their mouths and a wine bottle. The area is untidy and the walls are worn out which
suggest the boat is quite used and old. The costume and makeup represent them being fishermen as they
are wearing dungarees and one suits and the colours are plain and unison. The makeup is naturalistic and
some characters have beards suggesting that they have been out at sea for a long time.

9. This is an establishing shot with no objects or figures. The dark lighting keeps the audience on the
edge of their seat. This frame links from the previous showing the characters to the sea which
indicates that the men are in the boat. The subtitles show the setting of the boat being in the
Mediterranean sea, also gives an indication of a place “60 miles south of Marseilles” This can show
the location that the boat is going to or the type of people that are in the boat (french?) The
diegetic sound of rain and thunder(thunderstorm)continues the build up of tension, not sure what's
going to happen next.

10. This is a Mid-close up focusing on one of the character of the boat. There is with sound of chatter.
The props that are seen are cigarettes and playing cards, their pastime. The cigarette can connote
that they aren't very healthy. The costume and make-up signifies their duty of being fishermen- they
look scruffy and their clothing is dull and ragged, growth of their facial hair showing that they have
been on the boat for a long time, they have a lack of resources. The lighting is dim, but brighter on
the man face maybe connoting his importance.

11. This frame shows a low angle shot of the man floating on the water. This is the second shot of the camera
looking up to the man but the camera is now closer suggesting that the boat is getting closer to him. The dark
lighting connotes the unknown however the small source of light that flashes shows this man has importance.
This raises questions for the audience such as “where is the light coming from?” and “who is that person
floating?”

12. This frame shows a medium close up of a man walking on the boat. His costume connotes that he is
an experienced fisherman wearing yellow bodysuit. His expression connotes that he is slightly worried
and stressed maybe due to the storm, his hand reaching for his hood connotes the storm and the
background is slightly dark with shadows, however the light is stronger on his face, highlighting his
expression.

13. This is a long shot showing the silhouette of the boat and a the man walking down. The lighting is
extremely dark creating a sense of tension and fear, which helps to establish the genre of which we
know is a thriller. This frame creates suspicion as we do not know where or what the man is doing as
his shadow highlights the anonymous and makes the extract mysterious.

14. This is a mid-close up of the man showing him looking out to the sea. The lighting is still quite dark
and naturalistic to the setting so not much of his expression is given out, but we can see the
uncertainty of his expression, as he has seen something that has caught his eye, which we as an
audience assume is the body which is in the sea. His costume is drenched suggesting the force of
the weather. The sound of the thunderstorm connotes fear as many people are afraid of them.

15. This frame is an establishing shot of the sea however focuses on the man in the water The shot reverse
shot showing the man in the water and the fisherman looking signifies a sense of relief for the
audience as he has been spotted, or could be also show create anxiety and trepidation as this
person is still unknown and could be dangerous. The danger is highlighted through the use of gloomy
and dark lighting that has been done to create verisimilitude for the thunderstorm, as well as the
diegetic sound of lightening and thunder.

16. This is a close up of a man who is concentrating on something with a serious facial expression.
The lighting is very naturalistic and soft around him which shows that he blends in and doesn't
stand out, he is of no supreme importance in the film. He is wearing a yellow boatman's
raincoat which acts as a prop to specify his occupation.

17. This is a final third low angle shot from under water looking up at what seems to be a dead body. We as an
audience are much closer to the previous shots which infers that he a significant character and shows the
point of view of the fisherman as he is closer to the audiences view is therefore more visible to the other
characters. This frame has naturalistic lighting with rays of light shining past the man which gives an angelic
portrayal of the man. It causes suspense and mystery to the audience and seeing that it is a closer shot of his
body may signify that he is going to be saved.

18. This slide is an aspect of editing, the shot from underwater looking at the man then fades to a
black screen. This gives the effect that the man is in the middle of no where but something is
going to happen to him, he might be found. Again the audience are left with a black screen
which causes anticipation and questioning to what happens next.

19. This is a high angle shot showing the man being pulled up out of the water on to the deck of the boat by the fisherman
with a net. The lighting is both naturalistic and soft as it is a group shot of them and no one stands out. The costume and
makeup of the characters emphasizes their occupation (fishermen) as they are all in raincoats and big boots with bright
colours. The man’s costume differs, he is wearing a scuba diver suit that is all black almost as though he doesn't want to
be noticed. The setting is the boat and there are many props on it e.g ropes, nets and bags of fish which represents why
and what they are doing in the middle of the ocean, fishing.

20. This frame is a high angle shot showing the fisherman‟s point of view looking down at the man. From
this shot you can clearly see the person they have caught. The costume and makeup emphasizes
the man‟s health as he looks very pale which suggests he has been in the water for a little while
and he has a lot of equipment strapped to his scuba suit which suggests that he has a job of his
own and adds to the mystery of who this man is.

21. The next frame is a tilted angle looking down towards the man they pulled out the water. It
shows the point of view of the fishermen looking from above and subtitles are edited in to
translate the dialogue of the fishermen. This implies that the fishermen are foreign and we see
that they assume that the man is dead however the audience cannot be sure of this.
