1. INSOMNIA STILLS ANALYSIS

2. EDITING – FADE IN AND OUT (LIKE BLOOD OR INK)
This still was taken when the titles were fading in
and out. The titles were black and fading like
smoke, it was like blood or ink was seeping out.
This editing creates mystery and sets the mood for
what will happen in the film.
It is a technical code as it is creating mystery and
adding effect to the film

3. BLOOD – EXTREME CLOSE UP OF BLOOD
The red liquid seeping out of the cotton or whatever
material it is looks like blood. Blood creates as a
fear in the audience and they will automatically
assume the film will be of horror and will have
something to do with killing.
The red liquid on the white material makes it stand
out and shows it is significant.

4. SETTING
The white setting creates a depressing, hopeless,
dreary piercing environment which sets the mood
for the audience.
The muted colours suggest that there is no human
activity around.
This setting is very isolated and has no human
activity around, this again sets a bleak mood.

5. OVER THE SHOULDER SHOT - MIRROR
This shot creates mystery because it is not
showing the characters face. This part only
shows what he is doing with his hands, this
creates a strong feel of wanting to see the
character in the audience.
The character in this shot is shown by the
reflection of the mirror. This teases the
audience because they do not know what is
real and what is not in the reflection.

6. EXTREME CLOSE UP – CHARACTERISATION
This shot shows the expression of the
character. In this shot the character looks very
serious, this gives the audience a sense of panic
and worry.
This close up shows only his eyes, the purpose
of this is to give us a symbolic code which will
allow the audience to read his emotions.

7. CLOSE UP OF PROPS
This shot shows a shot of what looks like a
victim. This picture and all the paperwork
around a guy in a suit give the audience an
impression that it is an investigation.
Investigations give the audience a sense of
mystery as they want to know what they are
investigating.

8. ANGLE SHOT OF PROPS
The newspaper gives the audience a little insight
on what is going on and what the storyline may
be based on.
The angle shot focuses on what is significant to
make sure the audience gets the information
needed to understand the film.

9. SETTING - GOING INTO THE FOG
Fog shows mystery because the
audience soon cannot see the plane and
what will happen when it gets to the
other side.
The fog is black which is a muted
colour. This shows bleakness in the air.
