A QUIET PLACE ANALYSIS

Purpose

The purpose of this film is to entertain; it engages with the audience on multiple levels and creates a connection from the characters to the audience therefore engaging in the audience’s emotions. This film was not made to educate as it had no recent events or realistic events throughout the duration of the film, it showed events which are very unlikely to happen in this year or the next and if on the off chance it did happen A Quiet Place doesn’t show you how to deal with these events necessarily in a way to survive. A Quiet Place also is not made to inform its audience as it doesn’t include any facts or reasoning behind the events, it doesn’t tell you how to deal with the events and it doesn’t show useful strategies to deal with the events taking place throughout the film. A Quiet Place isn’t made to sell any products as there is no big brand names on screen, usually if the film or show were partnered with a brand and made to sell something it would include the brands name once or twice very subtly but A Quiet Place doesn’t include any brands in its apocalypse type setting.

Camera

The camera shots used in a quiet place are a bridging shot, a close up shot, an Ariel shot, a mid shot, a long shot, point of view shot, over the shoulder shot and a tracking shot. The bridging shot is used to convey a change in time and scenery to show that the time has moved on and to speed up the pace of the film whilst still going through the necessary points needed to build tension and allow the film to progress without confusing the audience. A close-up shot is used to, convey the emotion on a character’s face to show you how scared/ happy/ sad or any other emotion the character feels. It is also a common horror film camera shot. An Ariel shot is used a lot in this film as they film on a vast space, the farm is very big and you can’t always see where the protagonists are in the property, this is used to show where the Villains or creatures are and where the protagonists are in comparison. This shot is used when the father is looking for his two eldest children and they are in the corn mill, it’s also used in the CCTV cameras to show where the creatures are after the mother had shot one of them. This builds tension and suspense for the audience and causes dramatic irony as the protagonists don’t always know where the villains are. The use of a mid shot is the same as the use of a close up in the terms that it shows the character and how the character is feeling in response to the situation. This is used in the beginning when the youngest child is killed off, the mid shot is used to show the reaction of the characters such as the mother and sister. This shot is useful in this film because they use their hands a lot to sign to each other so this shot is perfect to be able to see the way the actor or actress is signing to the other. A long shot is used to convey the whole character and sometimes the scene, this helps the audience grasp the character’s response instead of just the close up and mid shot. It enables the audience to see if they were going to do anything to help them or if they were in utter shock, an example of this is

• nce again when the youngest child was killed off. The long shot was used to view the killing and lets us see the murder of the boy. It also allows one of the first

jump scares to take place in the film. A point of view shot is used to allow the characters to switch perspectives and for the audience to see the situation from another’s point of view. An example is when the perspective changes from the dad or moms to the eldest child. She is the deaf child so when the perspective changes it is obvious as you can hear the difference, when the perspective changes there is no background noise and everything is completely silent while in her perspective. The over the shoulder shot is used to see in the character’s perspective, to see what they see and to understand what they are seeing. To build a relationship with the character and become more attached. This is shown when the father is looking for his two eldest children, when he finally finds them we see the directors use of an over shoulder shot to see where the children are and see how relieved he is. The last shot used in A Quiet Place is the tracking shot, this is used to move alongside the character. This helps the fast pace editing fit into the film instead of it going from slow pace to fast pace. The tracking shot is used when the father is running to try and save his child from one of the creatures in the beginning of the film. It is also used multiple times when the characters are

• running. It is an alternate way to show how the character is feeling as it can demonstrate the fight or flight response.

Audio

In ‘A Quiet Place’ Krasinski uses suspenseful music through a few of the scenes to create tension like in the beginning when the youngest child is killed off. At the time, the child is playing with a toy space ship which a normal activity for a young child (suspected to be around six or younger but the real age of the children and parents are never stated) although the audience haven’t been introduced to the problem yet they know that it is something to do with sound and that loud noises unless covered by something louder aren’t good. The scene before shows us that the child had picked up some batteries that the eldest child had removed to avoid the child making loud noises and being caught by the creatures. Krasinski uses a close up shot to show us this meaning it is important and that it will most likely forebode a future event. It seems the child is too young to understand the complex world he is growing up in. The sound effects of the toy space ship are the first thing you hear in the scene, you only hear it for a short period of time before the father hears it and runs to try and save his youngest child, the father turns around when he hears it and puts the child he was holding down. He immediately starts to run to get the child and as he does the mother and then the eldest child all turn around to see the toy being played with by the youngest boy. The mother turns around with a very sincere look of sadness and shock on her face which is when the eldest child turns around and see’s the event that she tried to eliminate take place before her

• eyes. The audience is switched the daughters point of view and there is no sound, the only indication that the toy is still going is that the lights on the ship are

still flashing. Then the point of view changes to a third person point of view, like someone else is watching them all as the suspenseful music plays again and you can hear the creature running whilst also the toy space ship is still making sound effects. As fast as the father runs you can hear the creature as it creates a thud when it runs, when the child is taken it almost sounds like a firework type screech and the child was whisked away. From the buildup of the father and creature racing each other almost the sharp but quiet screech that you hear as the creature takes the child is almost in a mocking manner as if to prove how fast the creatures are. Music from other places in the film seems to be a mixture of either being loud and suspenseful or quiet and suspenseful depending on the events of the scene. When the mother was giving birth, the music related to the mother and captured the screams she would’ve given if it weren’t for the situations she was in. This builds a connection between the audience and the mother making the audience relate more to the mother and feel her pain.

Lighting

The low key lighting used throughout the film makes the audience weary of what will happen to the characters as when things are dark its harder to see what is going on, not only for the characters but for the audience too, it is also a popular convention of action, horror and sci-fi that when it gets dark that something bad is going to happen. So it is inevitable that when the screen gets darker in ‘A Quiet Place’ that something bad is going to happen, like when the children were in the corn style, it was dark and the creature was after them. But they never intentionally fell into the style, it was the middle child who fell in first because the doors were loose and then he started to struggle in the corn so he couldn’t get out. The door very nearly missed him. The lighting in this scene was effective because we didn’t know where the monster was. As the point of view kept changing from third person to the eldest child we were going from having background noise to not having any background noise which helps build the tension for the jump scare when the creature finds the children. Lighting colour is important too as when the fairy light change from white to red everyone knows that something is wrong and this is when everyone starts to get panicked because the connotations of red are blood and danger so this would worry the father and son who weren’t in the house when these lights changed. We are never actually told what the red lights mean but can assume they either mean that mean someone is in trouble or they were set up for her pregnancy and they mean that she is going into labor.

Editing

The editing in ‘A Quiet Place’ is very futuristic, with the creatures and there being no facial features they look quite animalistic with their ears not directly in the middle of the head but more to the side like a deer or something similar. The muted parts of the film are very old fashioned and don’t blend with the futuristic creations of the monsters. Although bring a shockingly scary aspect to the film as the audience feels vulnerable too as most parts we can only see what is going on and we can’t actually hear anything. The lack of audio means the audience have to pay attention to the body language and how everyone is feeling plus the occasional words which are said between the characters. From scene to scene the editing changes as the content of the scenes differ, for example when the family were walking along the bridge this was slow pace editing because it was showing how peaceful the family were and how at ease they were during the situation they were in. 999However, when the boy was taken it was fast paced editing because of the initial shock and horror of the death of a child. It helped move the story line on and to convey how quickly the monsters come so it shows the audience the characters have to be silent.

Reoccurring themes

The conventional themes of horror are things like isolated places, places with dark history such as abandoned houses or asylums, isolated places in the country like the countryside as opposed to the city and colours like red, black and white. Another re-occurring theme is the iconography of monsters and the super-natural. This ranges from ghosts to zombies and ‘A Quiet Place’ fits right in the middle of them all with the unnamed monster which stars in the film. In the horror genre it’s common for the colour white to appear if the film is focused on the super-natural. This is because the connotations of white are purity and innocence and the super-natural are religiously seen as the opposite of innocence. More re-occurring themes of the horror genre are good and bad (which are binary opposites), suicide, childhood issues, beyond death and a zombie apocalypse. These themes are often used as a plot point for the villainous character and give them some sort of excuse as to why they did exactly what they did. Other re-occurring things in the horror genre is the character types, there is usually four different types of character in this genre and they are: the protagonist, the unlikely hero, the irritating character and the bate. These characters each have their purpose but some more than others for example the bate, the bate is usually the one who gets killed off first due to ignorance

• r incapability to acknowledge of the situation around them. The irritating character, is the character who offers more to the

dramatic side of the film than the practical side. They don’t help but more so slow the group or the main character down. The unlikely hero, the unlikely hero is a person you might’ve thought weak or unreliable at the start but gets their act together for the end of the film and lastly the protagonist, this is the main character. The focal point of the film, you know they are going to be the hero or get some sort of recognition from the rest of the people in the film even if they don’t survive till the end of the film.

Genre

A Quiet Place is a horror film; we know this because A Quiet Place meets the conventions of a horror film. The conventions used in A Quiet Place are the isolation and the setting of the countryside are used to make it very hard for someone to get to them or them to get somewhere else without immediate shelter. This makes it more likely for the characters to be killed off and gives the creatures more places to hide so when they do make a noise it is quicker for them to get to the family. Another convention used are the colours red and black. Red is used in the fairy lights and has associations with blood and danger whilst black is used in the average shadow, but creates the illusion of the unknown and dangerous territory. The character types are also a way in which we can identify genre, the character types used in A Quiet Place are The Protagonist, The Unlikely Hero, The irritating character and the

• bate. The protagonist is the father and we can tell this from the beginning when he is rushing to save the youngest child from the
• creature. We also get a glimpse at who the other characters are, the bate is the youngest child as the child doesn’t understand the

situation and wasn’t monitored highly enough to keep him safe. The child was somewhat overlooked and tossed to the side as the child was expected to be more mature than what he turned out to be and was meant to have a better grasp on the situation than he

• did. The Unlikely hero, this was the eldest girl because of her disability most would believe her to be incapable of surviving and

being more of a burden than a hero but the hearing aid her father created seemed to be the savior for the family. Along with many things she did to save or preserve the family members.

Genre

The irritating character comes hang in hand with the bate most of the time but this time as the bate wasn’t in the film for too long the mother (irritating hero) seemed to have her own problems to worry about. The mother was the irritating character because she was so dramatic, from crying in her house alone when nobody else was there over her dead son when she could have been making sure everyone else was safe, when her daughter wandered off and she didn’t notice and when she was giving birth and she sat in the bath a very obviously unprotected place when she was already in her weakened state. The last convention used in A Quiet Place was the use of a zombie apocalypse or beyond the dead, the audience never get told what actually happens so the creators leave it to guess work but somehow these creatures have arrived on earth and completely wiped out almost all of the population. Which means they are by far a superior species and they could’ve quite easily evolved from something else or they could be a virus like a zombie apocalypse would be. A Quiet Place could be classified as a dramatic-horror, this is because of the dramatic elements such as the mother giving birth or the child falling into the corn silo. These are all dramatic events in which the film didn’t have to include to make it a horror but the events add more of a dramatic feel to the film. The use of an unknown species also makes it more dramatic as the audience knows nothing about the creature or how to kill it so the characters have to try and figure it out through the film. The dramatic scene where the mother has gone into labour isn’t a necessary scene but it adds to her vulnerability and makes the audience sit on the edge of their seat as the baby would scream as soon as it comes out of the womb. This creates tension and suspense that the mother is going to be killed off next, along with another of the youngest children. It also was unnecessary of Krasinski to put the nail in the floor, which the bag of laundry gets caught on, this was used to add more tension as the audience probably can’t relate to standing on a nail they can almost definitely relate to the pain she is going through at the time

• f stepping on the nail. It shows her self-control and how it is a necessity to be quiet in those situations if you want to live, it allows

the audience to be dragged into the film again connecting with the mother and feeling her pain at that time.

Target audience

The target audience for A Quiet Place are audience members who like horror films, this film isn’t necessarily scary but it contains more jump scares than most other horror films. It is directed at children fifteen plus as this film is rated a fifteen. In the film the eldest child must’ve been a teenager the way she was taking care of her siblings and mother but also her attitude. A child younger than fifteen (like her younger brother, the middle child) wouldn’t want to leave the house and go into a world where if you make a loud noise you would be killed however, the eldest child did indeed want to do this and was very upset when her father took her younger brother instead of her. This is the kind of attitude a teenager has so Platinum dunes (the production company) have targeted their audience and matched the age with the unlikely hero to make the film more relatable. The target audience could also include fans of the protagonists, Emily Blunt has been in other films like The Girl on the Train in 2016 also The Huntsman Winter War in 2016, the Devil Wears Prada in 2006 and Into the Woods in 2014. Alongside this but many other films Emily Blunt could attract many of her fans to watch her newest film. John Krasinski would attract fans of his and Emily Blunts relationship as the wife and husband duo. But also, fans of The Office, Something Borrowed and The Hollars. Krasinski has been in a mix of different genre films, romance, action and horror so there is a wider audience for Krasinski. There is also an audience for the deaf community as they are using ASL most of the time or when they do speak there is subtitles it is easier for the ASL users to watch the film and become aware of the films plot point and whole scenario.

THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE ANALYSIS.

Purpose

The purpose of “The haunting of hill house” is to entertain the audience, the show does this by engaging the audience in constant jump scares and plot twists that come unexpectedly and leave the audience baffled. The reoccurring plot twists engage the audience and keep them interested in the program as if the audience don’t pay attention to the show they will get very confused very easily, therefore forcing the audience to pay attention to the show. The show (The Haunting of Hill House) wasn’t made to educate the audience, as the show doesn’t have any information which would benefit the audience. The show has no real-life events in which the audience can learn from or take any guidance from so as the show is based completely on fiction and some of the effects of mental illness, which have no benefit to the audience and doesn’t educate them on the effects of mental health as it effects everyone in a different way. So, there isn’t anything that the show can offer to educate the audience. The Haunting of Hill House also doesn’t offer anything that could inform the audience because the show doesn’t contain any information that would explain the events that occur on the show, it also doesn’t contain any facts or reasoning as to why these events take place, leaving the reasoning for the events up to the reader’s imagination.

Camera

The most effective shots used in “The Haunting of Hill House” are close-ups, tracking shots, pov shots and establishing shots. A close-up shot is often used to convey something significant to the audience like, a change in emotion on a characters face or prop significant to the scene or plot. In the horror genre a close-up is often used to convey a change in emotion from one to the next and the haunting of hill house doesn’t discontinue this use of the close-up. By using a close-up on the characters facial expression, it puts the audience on edge as the characters facial expression becomes more significant to the audience than it would’ve if there wasn’t a close-up used to show the

• change. An effective example of a close-up is at the end of episode four when Luke is told about Nell’s suicide. This is

effective because it shows the audience Luke’s emotion and conveys to the audience the shock and sadness, he is feeling due to the death of his beloved twin sister. A tracking shot is used to follow the character to where they are going, this is a common shot for the horror genre because not only does it speed up the pace of the film, it also entices the audience to make them pay more attention to the surroundings of the characters and sets the perfect scene for a jump scare or other conventional horror genre shots. By using a tracking shot it makes the audience feel like they are with the characters following behind them and that the audience are involved in the series or film. An example of a tracking shot is when Nell is walking back into Hill House in episode five, it is also used when Luke is pacing the street at night waiting for Steven to pick him up this is an effective use of the tracking shot because Luke is trying to get away from one of his bad memories from Hill House and wherever Luke turns, the memory is still there. It makes the audience feel uneasy, like they’re being chased.

Camera

Pov shots or Point of View shots are useful when you want the audience to see something through the point of view of the character or you want the audience to see something at the same time as the character. A pov shot isn’t used very often in any genre, it is often over looked as a shot but “the haunting of hill house” used the pov shots quite often throughout the first season. By using the POV shot it made the audience feel as if they were in the show with the characters and put the audience on edge. As they were made to feel like they were in the scene. An example of a point of view shot is when young Nell goes missing in episode six (two storms) and the whole family have to go and look for her, but the power is out. Hugh and Olivia (the dad and mom) go upstairs to look for Nell but Olivia gets possessed by something and starts to walk around the upstairs of the house unaware of what she is doing or where she is going. The point of view shot is used when Hugh sees Olivia by the windows, as Hugh chases after Olivia the point of view shot is continued, the use of the pov shot is effective because it makes the audience feel like they are chasing after Olivia themselves and makes them feel included in the show. Establishing shots are used to identify something that is important to the plot, scene, character or audience. They are often used to convey the change of location to the audience, in the haunting of hill house they are often used either to introduce the house or to introduce another location to the audience. By using an establishing shot, it splits the episode up so that there is more breaks and the audience know when one event has stopped and when another is going to start. an establishing shot is used when Nell arrives at Hill house, before her death. The establishing shot is used to show the audience that Nell made it to the house and that she is going into the house but also to convey the change of setting from Nell’s car to Hill house and to tell the audience that something might happen.

Audio

The sounds in the haunting of hill house are predominantly meant to scare the audience, they include sounds like: creaks of floorboards and doors, loud noises like crashes and smashes, human noise like heavy breathing and screams. Any noise that isn’t hear daily and could shock or scare you if it were loud enough can be included in the horror genre and have been included in the haunting of hill house. Most of the sounds in the haunting of hill house are loud as they are more likely to frighten the audience because they are loud when everything else is silent or quiet. The haunting of hill house also includes a lot of effective silence, they include silence right before a big bang or scream. They do this to build tension in the scene, by building tension the audience is on the edge of their seats waiting for something to happen to the character on the screen. An example of the haunting of hill house using silence to create tension is when young Nell sees the bent neck lady above where she is sleeping on the couch, when Nell first sees the bent neck lady, she is completely silent, then her breathing quickens, it is loud enough for the audience to hear as well as the characters on screen. This is effective because as there is a silence before the character shows signs of fear or distress meaning that the audience had time to think about what happened before it did, giving time to build tension and get the audience.

Lighting

Low key lighting is when the photo or scene is very dimly lit, there isn’t a lot of bright lighting in these images or scenes because low key lighting is meant to provoke the audience to be on edge or scared as they don’t know what is going to happen because they can’t see the whole scene. High key lighting is the opposite of low key lighting, high key lighting is when the scene is brightly lit, the exposure is very high on the photo or scene. This makes the audience less nervous because there can be no jump scare or surprise shock as you can see the whole scene and there is going to be no element of surprise in the visual department because the audience can see everything. Low key lighting was used when young Luke went down in the basement the only light was from his torch that he was holding in his hands, the use of low key lighting was effective here because it emphasized the darkness and the creepiness of hill house and what it would be like growing up there not knowing what is behind each box or around each corner and it really brings the shock factor of the whole series up because it is such an old house, most of the rooms probably haven’t been explored by the family. So, they don’t know what is inside of them and neither does the audience so by using low key lighting It forebodes something to the audience. High key lighting is rarely used throughout this series because using high key lighting shows the audience everything in the scene and the horror genre is primarily based upon the unknown, if high key lighting was used it would ruin the premise of the series as it would unveil everything in the shot.

Editing

The editing for “The haunting of hill house” differs from being fast paced and slow paced. Fast paced editing is used to move the scene quicker and is often used when there isn’t much dialogue as there isn’t much the audience needs to see in the scene. Slow paced editing is used when there is considerably more dialogue and the audience needs to be able to focus on what the characters are saying as it is probably important to the plot. Fast paced editing is used when Hugh (the father) picks up Steven (the eldest boy) and runs with him in his arms out of hill house, fast paced editing is used here because it is quickening the pace of the episode and it emphasizes the urgency that Hugh is feeling when he is trying to get Steven out

• f the house.

Slow paced editing is used when young Nell goes missing in episode six (two storms). After Olivia and Hugh have come down stairs to their other four children’s cries of terror, they see Nell stood at the back of the group of children. Olivia kneels down to look her in the eye and begins to have a conversation about where she went, this is when the slow paced editing starts. By using slow paced editing it slows down the pace of the show and makes the audience pay attention to what is going

• n in the scene.

Reoccurring themes

The horror genre (like every other genre) has conventions. Things that don’t change and are always included to make the series, book or film part of that genre, the conventions of horror are as follows: the setting is usually somewhere abandoned or with a dark history, the shots include close up shots and Pov shots, the sounds are usually disturbing human like noises commonly screams, the lighting tends to be low key, common props include weapons, masks and supernatural icons, the colours are predominantly dark with connotations of death and danger and the common themes in the horror genre are good vs evil, childhood trauma, the supernatural, revenge, nightmares, mental illness and suicide. The haunting of hill house fits into the horror genre as Hill house is presumed to be abandoned before the Crain’s moved into it which fits the setting convention of the setting being somewhere abandoned or with a dark history and hill house has a very dark history. The common shot used in the horror genre are close ups and Pov shots which are both used frequently in the haunting of hill house series along with the popular themes of childhood trauma which relates back to the show as all of the five children who grew up in hill house but mainly the younger three, Theo, Luke and Nell were affected by the house and that which lived in it at the same time as the Crain’s. Suicide is another convention of horror which translates to the haunting of hill house because it is how both Olivia the mother and Nell the youngest of the Crain family died. The supernatural is another popular convention which is included in the haunting of hill house as the ghosts inhabit the house at the same time the Crain family do, the ghosts leave their mark on the family. Mental illness is another big convention of the horror genre which is included into the haunting of hill house as it affected two of the members of the Crain family who lost their lives to suicide and could possibly affect more of the Crain family and other people in the series. The haunting of hill house also includes other things which are conventional to the horror genre such as low key lighting, this is a very conventional thing in the horror genre because it leaves the mind to play tricks on the audience and enhances the scare when it appears on the screen because of the common fear of the dark and the unknown.

Genre

The haunting of hill house is a horror series, this is made obvious by the amount of horror conventions are transferrable from a horror film like “silence of the lambs” to the haunting of hill house. There are conventions like low key lighting which is a staple in the haunting of hill house as the jump scares wouldn’t be as scary if they were had used high key or daylight to light the scenes. Another convention of horror that makes the haunting of hill house a horror series is the sound used. It is very common for a horror film to include human screams and other noises which when amplified would make the audience uncomfortable and the haunting of hill house does this very often. Using young children’s voices and amplifying them to make their cries for help louder instinctively sends a shiver down the viewers spine as many people do not like see young innocent and helpless children in danger. More conventions of the horror genre that has been transferred into the haunting of hill house series are the setting and the

• themes. The setting of horror films are usually places with dark backgrounds like an old mental facility or prison, something that

hasn’t been used in a while and has a mysterious feel or look to it. A place that if the audience walked past when its dark would either intrigue them or terrify them. The theme of horror films are usually something related to one of the following: childhood issues, mental illness, the supernatural, revenge, nightmares or suicide. Out of the six of these themes the haunting of hill house has included four of them in its series which is another link to prove that the haunting of hill house fits into the horror genre. I believe the subgenre of the haunting of hill house is thriller, I think this because a thriller leaves a lot of the information about the plot to the audience’s imagination or interpretation and the haunting of hill house does this many times throughout the first season. A thriller also includes music which creates tension, lots of close ups, quick cuts from scene to scene and lowkey lighting and the haunting of hill house include many of these thriller conventions in the series. Things like tension building music is included in the haunting of hill house quite often which gives off the impression that the haunting of hill house has the subgenre of a thriller, not only does the haunting of hill house include tension building music but it also includes close ups which are another common shot seen in a thriller series or film. As it conveys the emotion of the character to the audience well.

Target audience

The haunting of hill house on Netflix has an age rating of fifteen, so that is going to be the youngest boundary of people to watch this series. I would assume the oldest are going to be young adults aged twenty four to thirty because I think not only would nobody older have enough time to sit and watch a ten hours’ worth of a tv show, but I don’t think the content in the show would be interesting for people older than thirty because they have matured more and things that are so easily proven incorrect aren’t something mature people would want to watch and spend ten or more hours watching; just so that they can disprove whatever has happened in the series once they’ve watched all of it. Stereotypically, I would say the majority of the viewers for this series are going to be men because men are meant to be braver than women, who might get scared easily by the program and not be able to watch the show alone. There is a lot

• f content that is made to frighten the audience members and make sure that they are on the edge of their seats for the

whole hour or more of the program, so that might be a problem for some of the audience member who aren’t so brave. I think the audience members are going to be interested in the horror and thriller genre as the series is based on these two genres but the audience are also going to be interested in the supernatural, the show is heavily anchored around the supernatural so it is highly unlikely that people who don’t like the supernatural, or don’t like the speculation of the super natural are going to watch a show so heavily based around it. I also think the audience members are going to have a quite generous amount of free time or a lot of patience if the they don’t have a lot of free time. I think the audience would need a lot of free time to watch this show, as the episodes in this show are one hour or sometimes longer. If they don’t have a lot of free time it’s unlikely that they would watch the episode in one sitting which means they would have to be determined and patient because they would have to watch the episodes In different parts which would be tiresome and would take them longer to finish the season.
