Brick(Johnson,2005,US)

Editing:

the editing in this scene is very slow from start to finish the reason I think the director has chosen to do this is because it will add to the up coming tension and give us more time to ask questions and think about what the man is doing crouched over the dead body. We see a shot reverse shot used in this scene as well, this will add meaning to the scene as it will show us that there maybe was a relationship between these to people.

Cinematography: 

we see an extreme close up of the mans face at the start of the scene at the start of the shot it is blurry the camera then focuses to see the face clearer, the meaning this will give us is we will need to wait to see what this man looks like just like we will have to wait to get the answers for the woman, it will also give us a good idea of what the man looks like.    

We then see a medium shot of a pair of legs the reason we see this is because the director wants us to know that the woman is dead as she has no color in her. This will add meaning the reason this will add meaning is because the audience will now start to ask questions like what is the relationship between these two people and how did they know her. We then see a close up of her face this is to just to reinforce the knowledge of her being dead.

We then see a shot of bangles in the river then by a locker this will show us that we have gone back in time to find out what happened to the girl maybe. 

Sound: 

At the start of the clip we hear some sort of pan flute music that is quiet clam and relaxing but also quite sad this ties in well with what we are seeing as the woman is dead which is a sad moment also because this music is sad it could suggest that the man didn't actuality kill her because it is sad if he did it would be more dark and evil.

 Later in the clip we hear a school bell this shows us that they are still in school which will make the audience feel like they are young and naive and may have just been messing about somewhere  that they shouldn't be and it has gone wrong. 

Mise en scene: 

The setting is in the begging of a sewer. This will add meaning because the audience will question why are they there. Another element would be the man has a worried look on his face and looks devastated that the woman is dead this will add meaning as people will see that he is upset and may have a positive relationship with her. The man is also crouched over showing hes upset that she has died.

 The lighting is low key as they are out when it is dusk so the sun is not up yet which would raise the question why are the out at this time in the morning?. It will also make the audience feel like they are being stupid as they shouldn't be out at that time so they will have very little sympathy for them.
