Detailed Analysis of Thriller Clip

The film we watched in class is called 'What Lies Beneath', this film has many parts which the audience are put through immense tension one good example is the method in which the camera work is well used in the scene, were the women is looking through a hole in her garden fence to see why her neighbour is crying yet we notice her neighbours mouth so therefore we know her neighbour is there however soon after her neighbour suddenly shows her eye we as the audience didn't expect that particular moment to occur therefore the director has achieved by making the audience intrigued with this moment and also many more and one clip I specifically enjoyed is the following:




In my opinion this is the most fascinating scene which occurs in this film due to the amount of thrill we as the audience are put through all the way from the beginning to the end, we notice the first thrill when the women checks the phone she notices it says 411 instead of 911, yet we see her reflection so the first shot we notice nothing behind her suddenly wen she looks at the phone and then the camera is slight tilted upwards we suddenly see her husband behind, the following part is when the husband notices his wife has the necklace on therefore he decides to take it off her, yet to do so he needed to take her wife out of the bath which he did and because the necklace is the wrong way round he titles her head all the way back at this moment we don't see his wife's face we see her hair and when he brings her back down she turns into some sort of ghost which apart from making her husband scared it also achieved the same with the audience and she appeared like the picture to your right.Lastly as soon as this occurs we realise her husband is knocked out on the floor yet suddenly the audience are seeing a point f view shot so this means that we are seeing what the wife is seeing and all of a sudden her husbands hand appears, I would imagine she is thrilled but because her whole body is cold she can't demonstrate the emotion of being scared, on the other hand the audience encounter one more thrill because of this specific part.
