Saw - Evaluation

The use of water in this scene helps to convey the horror/thriller genre of this film which makes this clip very useful to us as this is also our genre. It helps to add to the frantic and tense atmosphere of this scene as at the beginning he is clearly drowning. The use of a bath is very effective in this scene as it is an everyday setting yet the use of the close up shot of his eyes opening underwater shows he is clearly not relaxed and this adds intensity to the scene. This is something we should consider in our film opening as it is very effective here and is a similar shot type to what we intend to use. It also includes the extreme close up idea shown in the previous clip. This is a very good clip for us to gather ideas from as it is the right genre and uses an actual bath like us instead of just the theme of water, however it does include a more dramatic rise from the water than us and a very different bath setting.
