Deja Vu Analysis (Note Form)

Deja Vu

Eerie music in the background, with freeze-frames, makes the scene longer, and therefore causes tension in the viewer. Quick cuts, with army people, shows an happy atmosphere. Boat, setting up the seen where no one can escape. All looks very happy, people smiling, but quite sad/eerie music in background, sets up idea that something is going to go wrong, setting up a happy atmosphere before the event makes the event seems much worse. Quick rhythmic cuts.

Credits flash, to bring your attention to them. Heartbeat sound, common in most thrillers, helps to make the scene tense by speeding up like an anxious heartbeat. Boat horn. Loud. Happy sounding music but in a minor key? Makes it sound off and slightly eerie? Close up on children. Child drops her toy. Typical Navy music, shows an happy time. Close up shots, of the boat. Shows that no one can escape.  

Long shot of bigger boat? Going to collide? Car with no one in it, and music going off “don't worry baby” meant to make us worry. Diagetic Music quickly cuts too Non Diagetic. All very normal, then quick cut to a shot of a bomb. Beeping, of bomb timer, suggests quick heartbeat? Explosion, Death, Screams. Music stops.

Slow, very minor key music. Shots of dead and injured people – severity of action. Typical 'good guy' character. Denzel Washington. Shot of 'official vehcile' could be American police? Shocked. Body language suggests calm, and control? Some slowed down frames. Eye-line shots to show what Denzel is looking at. A long shot of the scene to show all of the Mobile phone ringing on dead body. Cuts to helicopter sounds. Rain – pathetic fallacy. Links to music, which is in minor key. Sound-bridges. Soft piano music? Close up on evidence bag, and his badge suggests police.
