'Bringing It All Together" - sequence analysis from 'Alien'


In today's session we considered the four different cinematic elements of mise en scene, cinematography, sound and editing, and how they work together to create 'meaning'.

Using 'The Third Junction' sequence from Ridely Scott's 1979 sci-fi/horror classic, Alien, we were able to identify how the four elements work in conjunction to create an overwhelming mood of tension, suspense and fear.

This session has been the culmination of the past eight weeks study, so you should now be seeing how film works on many different levels in order to manipulate the audience's emotions.
