In this clip, a woman is shown in the bath, popping her head up from under the water. She pants heavily. She then tries to use the blow dryer but it soon fails to work which makes her look at the plug and soon get an electric shot.
The camera goes into an extreme close up shot of the woman’s face popping out from the water, which looks pale and scary. This then follows on to a close up shot of her face, but this time, her face colour is much normal. A wide shot of the bathroom is shown to show the atmosphere. This suggests that this woman is alone and so therefore if something goes wrong, there won’t be anyone around to help. The camera soon zooms very slowly towards the woman in the bath tub, making it clear to the audience that she is the centre of attention in the scene. A close-up shot of the blow dryer is shown which shows its importance in the scene as it stops working, which creates suspense as to why this occurred and makes it seem to the audience that things are going wrong for a reason and makes the audience want to know what the reason is. A close-up of the switch is also shown to emphasise the electric shock and make the audience jump out of their seats. As the electric shot is shown, the camera immediately shows the woman’s reaction making it seem as though she is frightened.
The whole scene is very quiet and silence is mainly common, o the smallest sounds are heard which create suspense as it makes the audience hear the smallest noises such as the woman unplugging the water block. So when the electric shock occurs it seems more frightening because of the silence. The silence alongside the wide shot of the bathroom shows the emptiness of the atmosphere. Violin noises, gentle orchestral noises and vague piano sounds are heard during the title sequence and the music is very eerie. A whooshing noise gradually becomes louder as the camera shows a close up shot of the woman’s face. When the blow dryer starts to work again, the silence is over taken which no longer enabled the audience to hear small noises. This then connoted that something might happen and the woman will be unable to hear it because of the blow dryer, causing the audience to feel tense.
The lighting is quite dull in the bathroom which also suggests a feel of emptiness. The blow dryer not working suggests a coincidence as to whether it isn’t working and this gives clear clues to the audience that something is wrong. As the woman in the bath is naked, this gives a connotation that she is weaker as she will not be able to fight if there is danger because she will feel weak because she has no clothes on and therefore will find it more shameful to expose herself. As she is blow drying the mirror, this gradually shows her face slowly, which puts the audience in suspense as her face may come out different in the mirror.
After the title sequence, waves of the woman’s hair are shown in the water and then the camera zooms upwards of the water and straight into a shot of her face. The hair is shown almost like seaweed under the sea and this indicates that something wrong will happen that will have something to do with under water.
The title sequence appears and then dissolves very slowly. The title of the film appears wobbly that indicates water and the background looks as though it is under water. The title appears very slowly, almost like fishes under water, which relates to the title ‘What Lies Beneath’, that something will be wrong under water.
