'The Mothman Prophecies' - Mark Pellington, 2002.
It starts by stating that it was based on true events, which makes the audience believe the following events could happen to them. The first shot we come across is a crane shot of the town. This sets the scence of the movie and could also relate to the 'mothman' flying? in/out of focus, speeded up clock, dark lighting are used to show a passing of time, and also an element of mystery. When text appears it is joined with a noice to make them stand out. The shot used (point of view shot) makes it look like you are looking through the mothman's eyes. Happy music is used in an almost ironic way because we know that something bad is going to happen.Blurred then hospital lights, dark so can't really see what is happening, again adding to the mystery.
'I am Legend' - Fransis Laurence, 2007
Starts with the radio sports channel then it flicks to 20,009 cure for cancer seems amazing, flips to scientific health news. Sets the sence in the future as if everything is going well. The one fast car, one person enteres the clip, everything looks dead and deserted, no people shot, overgrown leaves animals are fine, nature's way of taking revenge. lots of natural sounds - diagetic. The film is also relatable to the audience with a shot of an abandoned 'mcdonalds'.
'Alien' - Ridley Scott, 1979
Set's the scene in space, lines at the top look like a spaceship, then turn into the word 'alien' load eeiry, airy noise, dark lighting, with the occational very brightly lit room. alien sort of noices, lights and sounds working together- robotic? Does not look human, lights come on and reveals the humans, very bright, clean. very impersonal, bland decorations, can not relate to.
