Ghost ship




Describe In Detail. Setting-  A cruise ship, very romantic setting. Lights make it seem cozy and magical like in a romance. The boat is in the middle of the ocean so isolates the characters from reality.


Themes - Appears as a romance, becomes a horror/thriller

Icons - The wire is shown repeatedly, champagne glasses

N-

Characters - Attractive women suggests wealth.Young girl portrays innocence which leads the audience into a false expectation that the film will be one genre rather than horror.

Camera/ editing:

 Cameras pans slowly at the beginning, portrays a romantic scene with a mix of close up of characters/ birds eye view of the ship makes the setting romantic.
As the leaver of the wire is pulled, the camera then switches its view multiple times to show different shots of the wire which confuses the audience.
The camera then zooms out to show the aftermath of the event.



Sound:
Romantic music starts the clip, suggesting once again the films genre. The music then changes suddenly to echoing/ distorted music which indicates horror.
