Research Task- Scream 4- Fatima

The beginning of the sequence in Scream 4 starts off with the phone ringing which might make us wonder who would be calling

 

Sound

• The first thing you hear is the phone ringing but when she presses the button it's louder then you would expect so thecreated it by using foley artist to emphasize it more along with when Sherrie puls out the knife it's louder then it should be.
• There is a sort of eerie music in the background which creates suspense but it stops when Trudie speaks but resumes when Sherrie talks
• The phone buzzing you hear it before you see it.
• The music was building up towards whether Sherrie should open the door and when she does (3:12) it slows down.

Camerawork

• Panning is used when Sherrie walks toward the kitchen and it is in mid close up 
• Shot reverse shot is used between the the two girls
• Throughout the scene it is in medium shot which lets us see the background and is easier to see the dialogue between the characters.
• At (3:16) the camera is at a extreme long shot showing the house.
