The Happening

The music sets the scene at the start of " The Happening" this is because it creates tension and gives us an impression of mystery because we not know what is going to happen. at the beginning it is very stereotypical this is because they are in New York in central park walking their dogs and excising (jogging).

the close up shots show conventions such as high wind speed which tells us that things aren't calm. two characters are having a conversation about death which gives us the impression of depression and the mise-en-scene of death which helps us to know it is going to be a thriller and a mixture of horror. music plays whilst the character hears more conventions such as screaming to indicate more that this is going to be a thriller.

we cant hear her talking clearly which gets us wondering what is going on and what she is shock about.
this film presents odd types of reactions and creates and weird atmoshere this is because her friend kills her self but she just has a blank stare in her eye as she doesn't care that she has done this.
the dog from the start is now roaming freely which confuses us because we wonder where he owner has gone and "why the dog is off it lead" or " where is it's owner".
in my opinion think that is is good film and i really enjoyed it but the ending wasnt so good because it was a expected end.
