Text Analysis: A Quiet Place

This is my video analysis for a quiet place

The text is an extract from a quiet place, The film maker uses technical elements as they want to show a family with a strong relationship amongst each other where they are temporarily residing in an abandoned supermarket, hiding from the cause of why they aren't allowed to make any sort of sound. 

The film maker shows the audiences that the characters are residing in an abandoned supermarket by zooming out as a camera movement to view the outside of a dusty supermarket where no one can be seen nearby and how there are dried up leaves everywhere. From this, the audiences can imply that there are no one there to sweep up the leaves or clean the windows, therefore giving the place a sense of abandonment as usually if there is someone running the store, they would clean the front of the store so that customers aren't reluctant to come due to them being unhygienic. Secondly, the inhabited shop can be shown by the dark lighting from deep inside the supermarket and fading light only coming from the window near the entrance of the supermarket instead of the light equally spreading across the room. The audiences can imply that the broken lightbulbs are caused by a power outage leading to no electricity which may be caused by the unidentified danger outside, also the potential reason as to why there are no people around as they may have already left, leaving no one in charge of the store nor the area around, therefore the characters in the movie had to rely only on natural sunlight. This may give the audiences feeling of suspense as they may get the idea of the potential danger being near since the area has already been affected. Thirdly, to support the image of an abandoned supermarket, the film maker uses props like scattered plastics or papers on the ground to give the audiences a thought that it may be caused by people rushing to get the things they need before escaping the abandoned town, therefore careless accidents leading to scattered things happening due to people being scared and are panicking.
