Black Swan - Evaluation

This clip is effective in the use of diegetic and non diegetic sound as the shot of the woman looking over the bath is timed well with the orchestrated flash of music and then the gasp as she comes up for air is placed in time with the end of the music, adding a frightening and mysterious idea that the music and the scare is in her head and under the water. I think the framing of the girl in the bath is perfect for our idea of our framing, so we can use this as an influence in our shot. This clip also made me think about the distortion of the water as she sits up in the bath, adding to the mystery and delusions of the character. I like the use of the blood drips as they have no clear source until the jump scare, also the idea that this is the only diegetic sound, adding reality to the illusion, also the blood represents danger and hurt, making the audience feel on edge and frightened.
