Text Analysis : A Quiet Place

This is my video analysis for 'A Quiet Place'

The text was an extract from the film 'A Quiet Place'.

The film maker wanted to convey that the characters are trying to get away from the place that they're currently at (1), it also shows that the characters are trying to keep quiet to hide from something (2). lastly, it also shows that they are not supposed to be there as the place looks abandoned and eerie (3).

Close ups are also used to focus on the facial expressions of the characters which helps the audience to recognize and understand the character's feelings easier. Lastly, they used pan and tilt as their camera movement to show the overall settings of the place.

Majority of the sounds in each scene are quiet to let us know that they're trying to keep silent. It makes
