The establishing shot is a distant shot of a house, then we see a stovelight and hear a phone ringing and the mise en scene shot shows a women in a white shirt get the phone and walk out of the kitchen . On the telephone a man asks her if she wants to have fun, he is trying to make friends with her and she gives him a positive response despite the fact that he is an anonymous caller. Through editing there is a fart sound produced.
She tells him that she is making popcorn as she is about to see a scary movie, and then they start discussing scary movies and he starts flirting with her telling her that he likes her voice.
We see her walk out of the kitchen as the popcorn is ready, and she locks the doors and windows. The person on the phone tells her that he is watching her at which she looks outside the window to her right and looks worried.
We are shown an outside view, in which we see a man wearing a skeleton mask shaking his head talking on the phone and holding a magazine which says "play with me" and has a picture of a nude girl.
The person on call tells that women that she has nice boobs and that he wants to see her naked. She tells him to turn to a certain page( he opens it) and then tell him to stop. We see that the popcorn is done and the women takes deep breaths and threatens the phone person that she will complain about him to her boyfriend who is black and will kick his ass. He describes the appearance of her boyfriend making him sound like a girl and then tells her to turn the porch lights on, which she does and suddenly we see a man in yellow silk clothes tied to a chair screaming for help. The women is scared and tells him that it is not her boyfriend out there. The man screams in a weird way and she threatens to call the cops, at which the man tells her to check the back door first. The girl runs towards the back door. We see her running through the house, the popcorn are almost ready, the girl looks through the glass and sees the pool empty. The bell rings and the girl becomes frightened and grabs a wooden rod for safety and walks towards the door.
We are shown a close-up of the lock as she unlocks it. She opens it and without looking starts waving the rod in the air which hits the children what children? who fall on the floor in pain and she closes the door with a guilty look on her face. We see the wind blowing as we see her hair flying and she gives a frightened look in the camera. Then we see the masked man holding a knife in front of her and smiling at her. Then we see her look towards a table where there are knifes and other things including a banana. We see her grab the banana and run out toward the pool through the glass door, which she closes and hides in it.We see the curtain open and she runs away screaming towards the pool after the see the mask man behind her.unclear
We see two sign boards infont of the pool, one pointing to "death" one to "safety". He girl walks towards the death and we see by a distant shot the masked man behind her as she fells down on the grass.As she gets up we see that there is a white outline of her body in the grass where she fell.She stands up and runs and hides behind a tree , we see fog coming out of her mouth as she takes breath which shows that it is cold. We see her walk behind as the tracing shot of the camera follows her. Suddenly the masked man comes behind her and she runs for her life and as he pulls her back her clothes and up in separate pieces in his hand.
The grass showers open and the girl stops in a while and enjoys the shower touches her body in a seducing manner and sees the masked man and runs away screaming. He gets her and puts the knife in the girls left boob and a white transparent thing gets stuck in the knife at which the man stares. The girl runs away and goes on the road and starts waving to a car saying " dad" , that man doesnt stop the car and hits the girl and we see her flying up in the air.The man driving the car looks worried and we see a women rise up and ask him if he heard something at which the man says No and makes her head go down again. Then we are shown a shot of that naked girl on the road crying in pain.
Mise en scene- this is the correct spelling.
ReplyDeleteThis post is a description of the opening titles which we can watch for ourselves especially as you have very thoughtfully posted a link to the title. I would like you to do this again- this time focus on the editing, the camera angles, the pace, the lighting, the characters, the representation, the meanings that are conveyed and how this clip is humorous.
