Durham County-Textual
analysis
De-saturated lighting, eerie and
conventional to horror, also the lack of
colour suggest deaths and fear. Looking through the trees
could suggest something is
being covered up or the whole
ting isn’t easy to see.
Credits in the bottom,
faded again suggesting
everything isn’t clear to
see.
Informal text suggesting
quirky or odd story.
Wood setting is a genre
convention.
This will cause the
viewer to stereotype
it and assume
something bad is
going to happen in
the woods
Not many leaves suggesting
death and that it is cold, also
gives connotations of
vulnerability.
The camera is positioned
quite high looking down
at the path, this could
suggest that the people
are vulnerable as the path
is where you would
position people to be in
the shot
The camera slowly zooms in
through the branches
suggesting things become
easier to see, also it may
make the viewer feel as if
they are stalking
something.
Lighting still desaturated
however the red jacket
isn’t, has connotations of
danger this could cause
the viewer to feel
unsettled
The non diegetic sound
turns to a music box type of
sound which has an
unnerving feeling of the
uncanny and the viewer will
be able to relate it to their
own lives.
Low angle shot makes the doll look
powerful causing the audience to feel
belittled by this which will give them an
uncomfortable feeling as they feel as if a
inanimate object is controlling them
The fact it is a doll has
connotations of horror and
fear it may make the viewer
make connections between
this doll and the possessed
doll ‘ Annabelle’
The camera stays still however the doll starts
to move its head like its possessed causing
the audience to feel perturbed. It has a
macabre feeling about it because it moves,
and at first sight looks like, a normal human
child however it isn’t. suggesting the
programme has a inhumane feeling about it.
De-saturated silhouette of man
with the non diegetic sound makes
the silhouette seem even more odd
and disturbing.
The close up of his head
makes the audience ask
questions and adds
suspense.
The fact he is
turned around and
his head is in focus
and the background
is out of focus
suggests he is a
mystery but
important. That he
is a villain and has a
dark side about him
causing the
audience to feels
unsettled.
The basket may make the viewer
feel discomposed as it may
make them relate it to their own
lves as the basket could be
linked to the child story Little
Red Riding Hood. This may
discomfort some of the viewers
as they may read this story to
their children or had it read to
them and now it is used as
something to scare them instead
of relax and comfort them
De-saturated apart from the
red connotations of danger
and death.
Out of focus and high angle shot,
may suggest it is unknown what it
is and hat its for but whatever it is
it brings danger.
More of the face is
revealed however still a
silhouette forcing the
viewer to ask more
questions. However he
turns his head slowly
and he non diegetic
music suggests him to
be quite disturbed.
Actors name is high up and
black on the white background
and white in the black
background. This is so it shows
up which could suggest he is
an important actor also it isn’t
faded like the other credits
suggesting his character is
certain and a main part.
However this could suggest his
character is pristine and like
everything neatly done.
Hair in colour is
disturbing as obviously
been cut off a ladies
hair which will make
the viewer think of
many situations of
what happened to the
lady causing it to make
them feel
uncomfortable and add
to the anticipation.
Hair in focus when rest of shot is
slightly out of focus suggesting the
hair is the focal point of this shot.
The credits are slightly out
of focus and different
letters are different sizes
creating a sense of mystery.
The camera goes from a long
shot of the man to a close up of
his face quickly this suggests the
man is important to the plot.
The fact it is a real human
man juxtaposes the rest of
the montage as the other
people have been dolls
suggesting something odd
about the man shown. Also
you see his face unlike the
silhouette
Also he is in a prison cells
and looks slightly distressed
this could be to show he has
been set up or framed.
It is still low key lighting
creating mystery and
suspense.
High angled Establishing shot with low
key lighting shows the setting of the
show, it portrays it as a rough place
with crime through the lack of colour.
Also it makes it look impuissant.
The non diegetic sound
makes it relate to peoples
lives as this setting cold be
anywhere in any country
therefore it might make
someone feel uneasy.
Man dancing with doll is
odd and has connotations
of psychopaths.
The camera stays still and
the man dancing round the
empty street.
Low key lighting add an
eerie feeling and mystery
Most of the name is in black
however the A is red
connoting to danger also
mystery as the A id a triangle
which could also suggest that
bad things happen like the
Bermuda triangle.
No leaves on the tree suggest death.
De-saturated colour
has connotations of no
life.
