Drag me to hellDirector: Sam RaimiReleased: 2009Studio: 20th century fox studios

titlingThe names of actors, directors etc are behind a montage of pictures of damned people. This shows the audience that there will be something sinister in the film.They are in a block white font which contrasts the background which is very dark. This emphasises the importance of the title in relation to the film.The timing of the titles are slow paced as it moves from one name to another.There is a hand that changes into what seems like an inkblot when moving from one picture to another. This may suggest a chase or a struggle in the film ahead.

Camera movementThe scene starts with the camera panning down to the approaching car. This may suggest the importance of the car and its inhabitants in relation to the film.The camera tracks the family to the woman who helps the boy. This tells the importance of the women as she may hold vital clues to the film.It shows how they are in trouble and looking for help.The crane shot is used to show how the boy is near to his impending doom and on the floor. This tells the audience that the boy has no where to go as he is in that one spot.

Framing of the shotThere are many close up shots of the boy who seems deeply worried. This makes the audience nervous as they are unaware along with the character what trouble awaits but aware that there is trouble ahead.Another close up shows the woman trying to save him. This symbolises the woman's high authority and her power.Close ups are also used to see the parents distress and confusion.There is a mid shot when the father is cradling his son which shows his vulnerability.

Camera anglesThere are many low angle shots of the woman who is called upon to help them, this may illustrate how she has a high power and authority against the evil. There is a high angle shot on the family which emphasise their lower status to the woman that is healing the boy.

Mise-en-sceneThe characters are clearly in distress, you can see this from their facial expressions.They are in a Spanish speaking country and are not of wealth as the family arrives in an old truck and their clothes are tattered. This tells the audience that they maybe not as educated and makes it more believable that the family take the boy to a spiritual healer as opposed to a hospital although he appears to be unwell.They appear to have escaped to a chapel because when the boy falls, he falls in front of an altar. This tells the audience that the villain may be supernatural as opposed to a person.Alot of the lighting is natural light and candles. This is often more associated with more spiritual people as they are not often associated with using electricity, therefore would not use lights or lamps.

Editing directionsThe editing is very fast paced which is seen to build suspense throughout the scene. This makes the audience on edge as there is so much action taking place at a fast pace.There are many reaction shots as when the boy is thrown off the balcony and onto the ground, the camera turns to his family and the woman to see their expression.

Sound techniquesYou can hear a choir singing in the background throughout the scene. This high pitch sound makes the audience nervous throughout the opening.The scene gets louder when the villain begins attacking everybody. This shows a change in the scene and alerts the audience to who the villain is and the audience is then aware of the future danger as they will realise the sound change.

Actors positioning and movementThe actors are either running or waiting. This symbolises to the audience that the running symbolises the danger that they must escape, and the waiting shows the calm before the storm and puts the audience on edge. The family often positioned lower than the woman helping the audience to seethe hierarchy in the scene.The woman maybe seen as pure and the family are seen as corrupted by evil.

narrativeThe villain is a supernatural being as you cannot see it physically attacking people, also the way in which the family come to the chapel for help from the villain instead of the police which suggests to the viewer that it is a supernatural evil.The hero is the woman who attempts to heal the boy as they come to her for help.The story is set in a Spanish speaking country and in a chapel.The setting of the chapel suggests a struggle between good and evil. This suggests that it is a horror.There are four principle characters.The story is told by following the story of a boy who is being tormented by what seems like a spirit.This gives the viewer a close relationship with the characters.Questions you are left with what is the boy scared of?Why have they come to the chapel?What has he done to deserve his fate?What is coming to get him?Where has he been taken to?
