Saw Opening Scene - Evaluation

Saw Opening Scene - Evaluation

The use of water in this clip creates a frantic message and signifies a panicked and stressful mood, conveying the horror/thriller genre. The large body of water creates suspense as it is dangerous to wake up in water, adding to the horror genre. the use of the bubbles is an idea we want to use as it shows weakness and need for air, highlighting the uncomfortable situation of being underwater. the sharp intake is also an idea we want to use as it provides relief and lets the audience question the reasoning behind the situation, it is also sudden and unexpected. We want to create this effect of the danger of the water but with the opposite feel, more eerily calm and building pressure through the audience's intense discomfort of the growing time in the bath. 
The muffled underwater sound is also an idea we wanted to use as this provides a mysterious distance between the character and the audience, also adding to the thriller and suspense. I also like the sound of the water flowing around in the bath as this provides frantic motion adding tension and causes the audience to think and question what is going on. The distortion in the bath, we can use to our advantage as this provides distance and also confusion in the audience.
