Text Analysis: A Quiet Place

 

This is my video analysis for the movie: "A Quiet Place".

    The text was an extract from the movie "A Quiet Place". The film maker wanted to illustrate and explain to the audience that a certain town in the world is abandoned for long time, and that noises aren't supposed to be made there, and requires survival to live here. 

    The town in which the movie sets in is abandoned with the main characters as inhabitant. This is shown by a static establishing shot of a road in the town. The use of the static camera movement shows no focus on any movement in that area which connotates that the town is isolated hence there are no inhabitants seen. Additionally, the establishing shot shows the condition of the main road in the town which appears to be all messed up; trashes and leaves are scattered around the place. There were no diegetic nor nondiegetic noise heard until a loud diegetic noise of the rustles of leaves rolling by, this may give connotations that there were no other noise made except the leave rustles hence making the noise more significant which indicate that there's no one else that could create any noise. A medium shot of the leaves then appeared and focuses on the movement of the leaves blown as they rustle and showed leaves in the colors of red, orange, and yellow, this gives of a denotation that it has been awhile since the town is abandoned. The reasoning of this is because usually leaves appears in green shades although warmer color means that it is dry, old, and has been left out on the ground for a pretty long time. Another scene with a long shot of the main character's family walking down the road full of leaves and showed rusty cars parked everywhere, this also connotates that the town has been deserted a long time hence the rust and dust on the cars.
