Hide and seek

Hide and seek was presented by Ellie, Abbie and Hannah. They expressed all four elements and gave good explanations or their choices.

The first thing we hear is the non-diagetic sound of the music, the music is like a childish song and links to the title as hide and seek is a child’s game. The film starts with an extreme close up of a young girl with her doll on a park ride. This is another link to the name as it is relating to children again. The costumes of the mother change from her being with her family park to her house. She was wearing white showing how she was enjoying life, when she was trapped in the house she was in a black dress to show depression.

There was a lot of relation to red in her house like her red accessories and her red wine, this could represent death. When then see the mother joking around with her daughter tucking her in bed and wishing her good night. We see the mother in the bath and we can hear a dripping tap, this adds tension.

When the father wakes up we can still hear the tap. As he walks towards the bathroom we see him from a low angle looking up at him. When he opens up the sheet to find her dead in the bath it then changes to slow motion to show it is a key moment. We can see the young girl at the back  and a faint nursery rhyme in the back ground this relates to the start of the film.
