Lou Lou Lives Here - Hazel Grian ( 2003)

• The film begins with a girl laying in a field alone at daytime, this would allow the audience to instantly assume she has been harmed or soon to be harmed, especially with the shaky camera work which looks as if she is being followed and watched over by anyone.

• The audience could take the act of the child licking her wound in as an act of innocence or something a little more abstract as she is capable to be anything the audience wants her to be.

• The opening credits is very simple and stuck with the colour scheme of black and white.

• As she walks through the woods, the non diagetic sound of the piano contrasts to the diagetic sound of the harsh wind, both sounds represent the innocence being led to danger as she is an easy target, especially as she is alone.

• A tense score occurs once the back of a van is witnessed, this conveys a sense of danger for the girl and is a warning sign for the audience, causing a restricted narrative.

• Once the girl is being chased, the film loses continuity and uses a lot of close ups on the leaves, trees and one specific one of the antagonist being caught on a branch which shows evidence that that van was dangerous. The pace differs by slowing down then going very fast with very random spinning shots of the sky, this leaves the audience wondering what is bound to happen next.The sound of the man groaning would typically relate to a dangerous character and the score quietens to allow the audience to listen.

• A blurred effect was used to show the attack from the point of a view of the dog as well as to hide the violence.

• The entire movie is set in black and white, after a brief discussion, it was revealed how this effect correlated to the dog, and how dogs see in black and white.
