'The happening' is a psychological thriller thriller based on un natural events occuring and taking place. This film holds the camera angles, effetcs and use of detailed analysis to turn it into the perfect tension thriller.
This shot above shows a group of people petrified and scared for there lives as they are un-aware and un-certain of why the situation they are involved in is happening.Terrified faces connote fear which adds to the drama that is taking place already. The mise-en-scene of the film is people surrounded very close together almost packed in which could give the veiwer the idea of claustrophobia and people being able not to think as they are too packed in next to each other, which could cause confusion. However, the viewer could take it in another way such as people standing very close together could show unity and the coming together of people in difficult situations such as the situation they are in during this scene.
A good start Jess. Some good use of Media language.
