Under the skin key scene analysis . In the beach scene in Under the Skin a sub story takes place to emphasise human emotion. The scene shows a family on a beach running after one another to try save them from the power of nature. This sub story helps emphasise how emotionless the protagonist is. This shot is framed so the mum character of the family is very far away from the rest suggesting she is not salvable, it also foreshadows her in the sea as she is much further out from the rest. Before this unfolds the alien is observing her text target coming out of the sea, this long shot takes place for a very long time to make the audience feel uncomfortable. Speech between the two characters then occurs a mid-shot is used for this. At point the speech from the alien character sounds as if she is reading it of a checklist, this is mainly done for practical reasons in the narrative, as she needs to target lonely guys so no one notices they are gone. There are no long shots in t...

Under The Skin character profile. The protagonist in Under The Skin changes throughout the film , she is represented as two polar opposites, powerful and vulnerable. The change in her persona is shown in the visual codes only as the film has little focus on showing actions through the audio codes. In the start of the film the protagonist is presented as powerful women, she is shown as confident as she lures her next victim inn with her looks. When doing this she is shown very clearly that she is in control. When speech is used she is the one dominant in the conversation.

She is also represented as a predator, yet again this is mainly done in the visual codes, she is seen to be going around Scotland confidently looking for someone to be her next victim, it is made very clear that this is motive.

The open house analysis. The open house is an american horror film directed by Matt Angel and Suzanne Coote, The film was released on Netflix on January 19, 2018. In the first scene loud sound effects are used to show the action rather then it being on camera, this leaves the audience in mystery. It also allows the audience to think how bad this car crash was, the screen then cuts to a still shot of a couple walking into the house all in black. This confirms to the audience that the character of the dad has died, prior to this the still shot could signify how this character's life has been put to a stand still and the family are mourning. A close up is then used of a photograph, this seems like its done to give insight to the family life before the father died, we find they was a family who was very close just down to this one shot. A tracking shot is used to show location as the family move out of there home, the shot looks like it's from one of the characters in the ...
