Diegetic sounds, heavy breathing and screaming




"They don’t understand, they never have but they soon will. I will put an end to this and one way or another they will learn to LOVE ME."
We used this voiceover with the backing of the church to create an asynchronous effect and place further emphasis on the dialogue. This is in the first shot of the trailer and creates immediate tension for an audience and present the antagonist in a dark way.


"Is your mother home?"
"We have reason to believe your daughter has been kidnapped."

The inclusion of Henry's younger sister to play the role of Rosey's sister was key in this scene because it shows that the impacts of the kidnapping would effect all members of her family and friends. This highlights the importance of the kidnapping to the plot and immediately presents Rosey's family as protagonists who want their daughter back.
 

"All I remember is him pushing me over and everything was a blur, he's taken her."

This is key dialogue because it is from Daniella, the only witness of the crime. Her not being able to remember much about the kidnapper places further doubt into the minds of the audience about Rosey being found.


Heavy breathing and screaming

This diegetic sound of the breathing and screaming symbolises Rosey's desperation to escape from her captor. This means that the audience sympathise with Rosey and promotes hostility towards the antagonist, who refuses to let her free.

Frame 1 My first frame for analysis is my film poster that I created for ‘Love Me’. This conveys the typical conventions for the thriller genre; this is highlighted by the colour scheme and main image. For example, the colour scheme is predominantly dark colours, with deep tones of red and black. These two colours are closely associated with darkness and evil, connoting the intentions of the antagonist. My main images and poster design were inspired by that of Knock Knock, selecting three images which directly refer to the narrative of the film. In my case, the images reveal the two main characters as well as the setting. This is very similar to that of Knock Knock, another thriller movie, in which the protagonist Keanu Reeves is depicted, similarly to Henry Dalrymple in ‘Love Me’. However, my poster challenges general conventions as it lacks a motto or tag for the film. For example, Knock Knock features “One Night Can Cost You Everything” The reason for this is that I did not
