Planning - Case Study into Opening Scene



This opening scene for the popular torture porn Saw 1. The scene starts with an extreme close up on a light floating through pitch black water. Then it switches to a close up of one of the main characters face. The main characters is in chained to a pipe in a dilapidated bathroom and there is a low key lighting. When the character switches on the light the camera switches to a high angle shot which make the character look vunerable. There is an ominous piano chord playing in the background which is non diagetic which creates an unsettling experience also there is a non diagetic string orchestra playing for sound effects when the character sees a dead body lying in the middle. then there is a close up on the extremely mutilated body holding a tape recorder as well as a gun.
