Ginger snaps analysis

Ginger Snaps

The opening film to Ginger Snaps has given us a real inspiration into what we are considering doing for our film. Me and my partner decided that we should maybe do a murder scene investigation for our opening scene. And the reason why i want to look at ginger snaps is because it shows things like dead bodies, and this is what we have in mind. We don't want to show the murders, just the bodies and maybe like an under cover detective trying to find who the murderer is.

This shot is a good example of building up the tension and the nerves. It shows a dead body underneath a car. As the audience, you want to know why shes there, how she got their, who killed her and who is she. Like i said, we want to use murder in our movie, but we don't necessarily want to show the murder. We want it to be a little like this shot, where you do potentially see the body, and it makes you ask questions like who, what, where, when and why?


This shot shows a good transaction between two shot, in which we were thinking of using to show flashbacks in our movie, and this transition could work well to achieve this. Also this shot is good as it goes from the two murders very cleanly which is good from changing the scene and locations very quickly and cleanly.





This shot showed me the importance of props if you need to use them. This shot here shows a body bag, and it tells us a lot. It tells about that someone has been murdered and left in the boot of a car. You get all this by simply looking at the fact that there is a body bag and the body is in the boot. It has showed me that if we are to use props, we need to make sure they look realistic, and fit in with the story.
