'Final Destination 2' analysis

I decided to look at a clip from final destination 2 in which one of the characters Evan dies. final destination 2 was made in 2003 and is one of the more modern horror films it tells the tale of a girl who has a premonition about a pile up on the motorway in which there are many deaths this then comes true and everyone who appears to have escaped death is said to die.


MISE EN SCENE:
there is a large use of mise en scene in this clip, it starts with the hallway which appears very cluttered and shows chaos which reflects what happens later in the clip, then we see Evan the character carrying a large amount of boxes which again shows the chaos also the fact he almost trips over with all the boxes and the stuff on the floor it shows us that something bad may happen to him.
When we move in to his apartment we see his place is very untidy with empty food containers and dirty pans again linking to the chaos but also the uses of the pasta he throw out of the window being used as a prop which later in the clip is very significant.
another significant prop is the ring and the watch which make him get stuck the first time
The final prop we see is the ladder which is a means of escape which is ironic and it ends up killing him
Finally the character is a young adult which shows his vulnerability




CAMERA SHOTS/MOVEMENT:
first of all there seem to be a tracking shot of the hallway and then a tilt up to Evan, then we go back to a mid shot of him and track him walking towards us.
we have a close up on his feet to show he almost tripped over which signifies to us as the audience that maybe something dangerous will happen
then there is a lot of mid shots so we keep our attention on him showing us he is the main focus, and we also get a close up of the pasta he throws out the window which shows us that it may play a big part on this clip and that we shouldn't forget about it
again we get another close up of the flames on his cooker when they blow showing us that the fire and flames are significant which we realise in the ending when the fire starts
we then see a point of view shot of him turning around to make sure nothing or no one is there this makes us as the audience feel like part of the clip and shows his vulnerability as he is alone
we get more close ups this time with the watch he puts on and his ring which is ironically a horse show to show luck however  this foreshadows that he is not going to be lucky and then the ring falls down the plug showing his luck has run out
in the final part of the clip we get another point of view where we look up at the ladder as if we we were in his place with the ladder coming towards our eyes which adds to the fear for the audience



EDITING:
the lighting used through out if motivated lighting making the clip seem more realistic and every day
the cuts between shots start out quite slow reflecting the pace but as the microwave starts to break and the pan smokes more we see faster cuts building up the pace and the tension and also reflecting his fear as we switch to the fire and his face


SOUND:
diegetic
the first sound we hear is him waling up the stairs and then treading on some of the toys in which he replies ''jesus Christ s**t'' showing us his age and possible ignorance
we also hear the pan frying which gives us a constant reminder about the fire as it builds up throughout the clip
he then turns on his answering machine which reveals some peoples messages and talks about how he won the lottery and how lucky he is which foreshadows what will happen as his luck runs out
we then here the loud fire alarm as he escapes which makes the audience feel as if they are safe and he even says ''s**t I'm lucky'' however shortly after he dies.

non diegetic
we start with some creepy music in the beginning that seem quite high it then quietens down and he then plays the radio so we get a different track which is slightly more upbeat and builds up the pace certainly at the end as the music builds up becomes  harder reflecting the chaos around him
