Scream movie

This movie was a very different movie compared to all the other movies I've ever watched, it tried to scare and at the same time make the audience laugh. The trilling scenes really was unsuspected and also made me jump at times, there was nothing fictional about it beside from the storyline. It had my little cousin looking into her wardrobe afterwards, the diegetic sound of the phone ringing builds up tension with the camera having a shot reverse shot which turns into a pan shot of the phone to Sidney Prescott face, which increases the tempo of the scene and creates tension, which then allow the soundtrack to take control of the scene and create a more scary scene. A few murders were set at night which is more scary than day. The darkness of night conceals the identity of the murderer. The blond girl which is known as "dumb blond" gives the audience stereotypical point of view of the situation. The camera angles used in this film really link up with the scene itself, a good example of this is when the girl tries to run away from the murderer and we see a pan shot of the action going on in the scene, which then moves to a facial expression of Sidney with the tension based non-diegetic soundtrack adding to the atmosphere. Another interesting scene is the narrative used a good example of this is when Sidney is talking to the prank caller on the phone aka the murderer, lines like "have you got a boyfriend" is a sign of flirting and when Sidney replies "no" its shows us the audience that she is getting into the convocation as well as we know she is lying yo the person on the phone.
