Crimson Peak
The scene begins with a close up shot of the protagonist waking up in bed gasping for breath and gripping her stomach in pain which is emphasised with the lack of a score, this engages the viewer by building confusion, tension and fear for what may happen to the protagonist in the following scenes. The continuation of the scene follows with the protagonist staying up out of bed as well as the shot changing from a close up to a neutral shot, creating a effect on the viewer as they are put on the same level of the protagonist allowing for a more personal relationship with her. This change in shot also emphasises the low key lighting in the scene creating a fearful emotion in the viewer do to the low key lighting being common with horror and thriller films as well as it being a natural human fear. The start of this scene ends with a panning shot around the room the protagonist is in giving us a peak in to the setting which appears to be a old fashioned bedroom between the 18th and 19th century, this is also shown by the mise-en-scene of the costume the protagonist wears as it is distinguished with the 18th to 19th century era.
The scene then continues with extremely loud creaking followed by the door swinging open and the dog barking, this builds tension and fear for the viewer due to the natural fears that something is moving but nothing is there which is again the lack of a score is being used to emphasis this. The scene follows with a neutral tracking shot following the protagonist as she walks out of her room into a open hallway when a second panning shot is used to allow the viewer to get the look they need to see the convection and setting with as suspected is a old broken down house presumably in the 18th or 19th century. This is then followed by the second tracking shot as the protagonist wonders slowly through the houses hallways looking for her dog which ran away after she left the bedroom, this is accompanied with no score, diegetic sounds such as breathing and footsteps as well as switching between neutral and close up shots. The barking from the dog then appears to come from a closet in a hallway which is reinforced by the protagonist also believing this.
After this the scene follows with the protagonist opening the closet which is build up as tense due to the use of diegetic sound, as the door is being opened we hear a dog bark from outside the closet, then the camera shot changes from neutral to close up allowing for a more personal, emotional and impactful response to seeing that the dog is not in the closet. The shot then moves back to neutral to see a haunting looking creature covered in blood, using mise-en-scene to emphasis fear in the viewer due to make-up, camera angles etc. Following this the first score of the scene is used to build up tension as the protagonist opens the door again to reveal nothing this time causing the score to pause and a slight release of tension is made.
Next the scene is edited to cut to a wide shot to inform the audience nothing in the close vicinity, securing the safety of the protagonist and reinforcing the pause of tension from the stopping of the score, the scene then follows with a increase of diegetic sound as groaning can be heard the camera the camera then focuses on the creature/antagonist emerging from the floor applying another great use of mise-en-scene and editing due to the use of make-up and CGI on the antagonist, the score then beings again build even more tension as well as a close up on the antagonist. The scene continues with a tracking shot following the protagonist building anxiety and fear for the viewer until she enters a lift and has escaped a least for the time being.
During the final parts of the scene the camera changes to a wide shot to reveal the new setting the protagonist is in showing us a typical horror convection, which is a dark basement with what appears to be a lot of blood in steel tubes again utilizing mise-en-scene to put fear in the viewer. the score is emphasised more during the final seconds of the scene as it is used to build dread for the viewer as the protagonist opens a mysterious box ending the scene on a intense cliff-hanger. End of scene.
