Editing

Silence of the lambs

The movie silence of the lambs is an american thriller about a young F.B.I. cadet who must receive the help of a manipulative killer on catching another serial killer who skins his victims.

In this scene the serial killer switches the lights off in the house, so the room is pitch black, and the main protagonist, Jodie Foster is trying to make her way out of the house, unaware that the serial killer is wearing night vision goggles to trace her moves.

Many editing effects have been used In the climactic, terrifying chase sequence in a dungeon-like hideaway, the shots show The FBI agent following the serial killer Buffalo bill  down the stairs into the cellar with her gun.

Their is a continuing flow of action as the woman is going from side to side with her gun for protection.

The mise-en-scene is a vital feature as the setting of this clip is in a very strange place, and this relates to the title of the film 'silence of the lambs' which is also very unusual. In the scene the characters facial expressions show she is completely terrified, as she is panting and sweating, and slowly moving from place to another in complete fear. 

There is diegetic sound used through most of the clip which can be heard by both the audience and characters in the scene. Most of this diegetic sound is of her panting, showing she is danger and is scared of what might happen to her next.Non diegetic sound is used towards the end of the scene, as mysterious music which suits the theme and is playing which creates tension and can only be heard by the audience. This music starts to play when she enters a room which she shouldn't be in and creates more pressure for the character and the audience.

A more vital method is that the editing is used to create a more realistic feel through the camera framing and camera movement. This is seen with close ups of the serial killer buffalo bill wearing wearing night vision goggles, this builds up the drama, and creates tension for the audience, as they want to know what happens next. Also we get to see what he can see through his perspective in the goggles, this is a point of view shot. This shot is shown out nearly through the whole of the scene, as it creates a very mysterious atmosphere.

Overall the director shows editing as a main source to establish this tense scene in the movie 'silence of the lambs'. Many factors such as lighting, sound and mis-en-scene all collate this great scene from the movie. 

Narrative

The fault in our stars 

The equilibrium is where the main female protagonist has her falls in love with a guy who loves her for who she is.

The disequilibrium is where the female character has to be rushed to hospital as something had happened to her due to her cancer.

The new equilibrium is where the female character dies in the end.

The enigma code is whether the female dies or not.

Propp:

The hero: the male 

The princess: The female

                                                                   Taken

      

The action codes for this were when the protagonist took out the gun as it indicates that' somebody's about to die or get injured. Also when he chases another man the audience knows that something is about to happen to the guy getting chased.The enigma codes were when his daughter was taken- who took her? Why did they take her? What is her father going to do?

There's is disequilibrium as there is an unfortunate event of the protagonists daughter being taken away and it isn't clear whether there's a resolution or not. 

Insidious:

Barthes enigma code is expressed here is the window the main character is talking to then the action code briefly follows by showing a scary looking woman at the other side of the window holding a candle. This is then interlinked with Propps seven spheres of action on analysing the different types of characters. The hero is the one standing opposite the old woman Thai is because there is more top angled lighting making him appear dominate and powerful, where as 'the villain' has less lighting making her appear more dangerous and evil. The donor and the princess is both expressed by his wife the donor being her voice leading him back to his body, this also makes her the princess in need of rescuing because the lost souls are crowding around her. The equilibrium is when the man is closer to his body then there is an in equilibrium when he sees the old woman at the other-side of the window, causing him to waste time so he doesn't make it to his body, the new equilibrium is when he starts hearing his wife's voice eventually making his way to his body.
