  1. Kalender Prince Emm and Rachel

  2. What is the film about? How do we know? • From the opening scene we get the impression that the film focuses on the man in the dark • The camera angle, looking up on him (low angle), suggests that he is powerful and with the title, Kalender Prince, we might assume that he could be the prince • We also get the impression that there could be something wrong with this man because as soon as the dancer starts to mess up he orders her to be taken away and shot

  3. How does the opening sequence build tension? What methods have the film makers used to create this tension? • The use of the diegetic classical music could suggest a sense of evil as classical music can often be associated with the villain in the film • Also the close up shot of the dancers bruises and scars build tension as we do not yet know how she got these scars, however by suggesting that the man has power could connote that he is the reason for these scars

  4. Who are the characters? What are we meant to feel about them? • We are introduced to the antagonist (the man), we know he is the antagonist as he is wearing dark colours which connotes darkness and fear. Furthermore he is sat in the darkness where we cant make out his face. This is ominous as we tend to fear the unknown so we therefore fear him • In stark contrast we have the dancer who is dressed in white and the camera angle is looking down on her. This suggests weakness and vulnerability which is a huge contrast to the man in the dark. Moreover she is fully lit so we can see her clearly taking away the fear of the unknown

  5. How do we feel this early on? • The tension leaves us wanting more. We are intrigued to find out more about the villain and how many dancers he has previously had or will have. • Our attention is instantly captured by the villain and we want to know more about him and his backstory

  6. What do you think, given the tone and language, the rest of the plot line would be? • The eerie tone could suggest that this film is a thriller and we have not seen the last of the villain and he has a bigger role in the rest of the film • We could also assume, seeing as we’ve met the antagonist, that we may be introduced to a protagonist in the next scene • From the opening scene we could gather that the protagonist may have something to do with the dancers or even be one of them

  7. What aspect do you think are good/bad in quality? • We thought the colours, costumes, lighting and shots were all done extremely well • We particularly enjoyed the dark, eerie lighting which helped to create a sense of mystery and intrigue into what is to come in the whole film • The editing throughout the film was smooth. We enjoyed the cuts between shots.
