Frame 4

The setting for this frame has been changed to express the seclusion and isolation of the dream sequence through the use of the wild grass which suggests that the dream is disorderly as well as giving the feeling of being unatural. The focal point of the frame is Ana's character, shown through the use of the centered high angle shot, but we feel that the surrounding  environment extra emphasis to Anas isolation. This shot has been edited to black and white to clearly express the typical horror style conventions as well as contrasting against the latter shots, which we feel is effective. Another important aspect is the use of costume which are fully grey pyjamas, bare feet (to tie in with the setting) and unkempt hair to express that Ana has been asleep. The positioning of the character is clearly identifiable with a victim who is helpless and inferior through the hunched position, legs clenched as well as the obscurity of Ana's face. This is believed to be a traditional representation of victims and we are therfore following traditional conventiions of a horror with our own little twist.
