The thriller clip Deja Vu is a action thriller where an agent goes back in time to save a women's life. The extract we watched in class was the intro to the movie, which was full of tension and suspense. In the extract we see happy people enjoying life for what it is. This makes us think that everything is normal and nothing bad could happen. However we start to change our mind a bit when the little girl drops he doll in to the river. After that point everything starts to go down hill.
The camera creates tension in many ways. For example when the girl drops her doll in slow motion. This creates tension in the audience because the doll looks like a real baby and it makes us think that the little girl might jump in to the water to get her doll.
The sound track changes when the doll drops in to the water, it changes to a more depressed type of music. They have done this to create suspense between the audience and to give a signal that something its going to go wrong. Also the soundtrack through out is mostly cheerful and when it changes the audience knows that something is going to happen. The change of music when the attendance approaches the car, gives us the sense that something is going to happen and we are waiting with suspense. When the attendant try's to open the car door and it is lock, it immediately comes to us that something is wrong. As the car blows up the sound changes immediately to a more action/tension type music. this allows us to get the feeling that this is not over and it makes us feel a lot of suspense through out the extract.
