The Bourne Identity (By Mell)

Mise en scene:

Setting:

•On a fishing boat that is out in a storm. The boat represents danger as it is excluded and in the middle of nowhere.

•The storm along with a little boat being the only thing in sight makes the audience feel tense and wary about what's going to happen as storms in the middle of the ocean usually have dangerous outcomes.

Sounds:

Diagetic sound

•Thunder in the storm which creates fear for the audience as lightning is dangerous, especially when in the ocean on a small boat.

*No Dialogue 

Non-Diagetic sound:

•The soundtrack is slow and deep and at times is drowned out by the loud thunder which I think works well because it sets the mood of danger.

Camerawork:

• A low angle shot is used looking up at a floating body at the beginning of the scene. I think that this works very well because it makes the audience ask questions such as ‘are they dead or alive?’

Editing:

•The pace seems slow due to few cuts. This works well because the slow pace makes the audience intrigued about what and when something is going to happen.
