The film that I shall be analysing is Mr.Brooks, I'm analysing it because it is the same genre as our film, which is psychological horror. This film is about a socio path (Mr.Brooks) who is a serial killer.
The title sequence of the film starts off with a pitch black screen and then some text comes up. The text straight away signifies that something is wrong with Mr.Brooks. The way that it is also just black, shows us that it is mysterious and it also builds up to tension as we don't know what is going to happen. The sound on this is Mr.Brooks praying, so we don't know what he has done, yet. Also with the black background it signifies darkness, and anything can happen in the dark.
Here it shows a medium long shot of Mr.Brooks, looking at himself in the mirror in the bathroom. He seems to be trying to sort him self out, so we already know that he isn't stable. The surroundings around him are very posh, he also is wearing a suit, so this represents power, he must be very important in some way. There is also a slight low angle, which could state his sense of power in the profession that he is in.
This close up of Mr.Brooks shows us that he isn't feeling alright. The way that everything else is blurred out except from him, makes us focus on him only. He looks worried like something is bothering him. Also the way that he is in an environment that is dark shows us the mysterious vibe once again. His outfit represents class. His eyes are pierced and seem to be focusing on something.
This close up of Mr.Brooks driving home with still a worried look on his face showing that he is unstable. The person behind him seems to be intimidating him in some way, and it is the voice inside his head. Still, the dark environment around him represents his mood.
This close up of Mr.Brooks shows him praying, this time with a light in the background. This could signify that there could be some hope in whether God is going to forgive him for his mistakes. Still the background is blurred and all of the focus is on him. He looks even more stressed than he was before with his shirt undone, no glasses, this could represent the loss of power.
This medium close up, shows Mr.Brooks in a different light. He doesn't have formal clothing on, he has a simple black jacket and t-shirt, as if he is about to do business. The look on his face shows us that he is planning on doing something, and it doesn't look like it is going to be anything good. He seems also in a different environment such as his work shed, where he keeps all of his things.
This medium close up shows that Mr.Brooks has broken into someones house. His facial expressions are not nice, they look very nasty. He looks like a different person to before. It is dark again, which represents his mood. A lot of the shots are in darkness, this represents the un-stable person that he is, and he is living basically in the dark because of the secret that he is trying to keep his secret from his family and everyone else.
This close up shows us that Mr.Brooks has just done something that he kind of regrets, but he still has a demeaning look on his face. The low angle shows his power, that he is looking down on someone. His eyes are very piercing and it looks as if he is staring right at us. The way his head is tilted, shows us that he is concentrating on something.
This long shot shows Mr.Brooks praying, with no clothes on. This shows him stripped back, no classy or formal clothing on, just himself. Regretting that he has just killed someone. The way that he is crouching down shows his loss of power, that he is weak. The furnace shows us that he is burning evidence, and trying to wash away the bad sins that he has just committed. The light from the fire is on the same level as him, this shows that he is in the light for what he has done and not hiding in the dark.
