Frame 9

This frame is taken from one of the final scenes of the film, as Ana's character desperately  and urgently tries to escape from Zoe as she runs terror and fear. Costume in terms of  Mise-on-scene elements is the same as previous: the same PJ's, messy curly  hair and little makeup merely used to amplify the intensity of Ana's gaze, which is very apparent within this shot as well as evidenced through the use of positioning. This frame also shows off the location well, showing the isolation. Ana is off center to make the shot  appear more intriguing as well as highlighting the remoteness and seclusion which Ana is in. This is also reinforced by the gathering of trees which transcends well from the previous frames as it looks like she is looking back towards Zoe which also correlates with the next frame of Zoe's feet, making it seem as though she is coming towards Ana. The mid-shot suits the horror conventions very well as it show her facial expressions in a manner which expresses the significance. Fade effects have been used as transitions between the dream sequence to differentiate from the other secenes as well as maintaining a fluid flow throughout the scene, making it seem more dreamlike. The music slowly begins to fade out here, as well as the contrast darkening to show that it is near the end of the clip.
