Camera Work- One long point of view and

establishing shot- Birds eye view shot - Extreme close up

The point of view shot is used as the establishing shot, it positions you as the victim because the audience can see what the character can see. Which makes the audience feels the same way.

The birds eye view shot is used to show them the mask, to add the horror feeling. Because the character is looking up it links back to the bulb.

The extreme close up is used to show expression and to add to the horror feeling.

Editing- There is a long take (from the point of view of the victim) at the beginning

of the opening sequence which establishes the setting.- Slow motion is used when the victim starts the timer. This is effective in

highlighting the importance of time.- There are lots of action cuts present in the sequence which makes the

scene more intense and dramatic.- Fast forwarding is used many times to speed up the pace which grabs the

audiences attention and increases tension.- Shot reverse shot is used to show the victim’s expression/reaction to

Jigsaw’s puppet. - Action match is used when the victim hits the ground, which adds to the

horror and brutality as the audience sympathizes with the victim.

Mise – en -scene• Props used are: ScalpelMedical equipmentTelevisionTrapMirror Tool box • Main colours used are red, black, white and green, the green is a tint to

show that it’s underground. • The costume he is wearing is the head trap and some underwear, this

shows his vulnerability.• The iconography used with the light bulb symbolises that there is a

balance in the game.• The iconography used by the television gives a sense of spying.

Narrative• ‘I wanna play a game’ • ‘Let the game begin’• ‘It’s right before your eyes’• These are some main quotes that get the audience on the edge of their seats:

• When shown the x-ray• When he throws the scalpel the audience would be in shock and would fear for

him, and can easily expect he will DIE!• The ticking of the clock • Trap closes• When the title comes up

Sound• Lgf Lion Gate Films, Twisted Pictures Presents • As the light bulb fades out, • A Burg/Koules/Hoffeman Production:• As you get a close up on the metal box, you can hear a ticking sound of a

timer. The ticking sounds builds the tension making it even more intense for the audience. Followed by sounds big sonic booms. Continuation of eerie sonic sounds.

• Gradually the sonic, screaming, grunting ghostly, which is significant of gruesome monster. Ticking noise builds up getting louder and louder building tension.

• Followed by a huge metal bang. The ticking and sonic sound stops, a continuation of the low bass eerie sound with the rusty door sound louder than how it began.

• With the credits “Saw 2”, eerie rusty door sound fades out followed by a sound which sounds like a huge gush of air. This is to calm out the tension.

• The clock is a hyperbolic sound and diegetic sound.
