bird box- post-apocalyptic horror thriller

mise-en-scene:

lighting: 

fogginess represents that there is no vision as it has a grey lighting all through out that scene, you cannot see above and beyond.

majority of the time the scenes are in light and not dark seen as to the characters they are already in the dark and have no vision.

location: all begins in the hospital, before they start, they are all in one house and now they are mainly running through forests and have split up either because they are dead or have needed to, they go over a river to seek shelter.

era: present day and past 

performance: an ordinary day for a woman who is going for her pregnancy scan until she leaves and sees unusual behaviour, a woman bashing her head into the building glass wall, the women driving away from the hospital with no power or control that results into a crash. This all then leads to figuring out that our eyes have to be hidden or your eyes, your soul and self-control is all gone and hypnotised to something else. 

everyone including the main female and her two children have to go survival skill with mum and figure out a way to live or survive for the time being, everyone goes down their own path in the end, let the best one win.

props: guns, bats, blindfolds, a bell, newspapers on cars, boat with paddling gear.

camera angles and shots:

there are wide shots such as the boat imagine above that portrays to us that it's a long and scary process as they are in the middle of nowhere. the mother trying to keep them together is shown through her holding them tight and not letting them go, however the blind fold also represents that they cannot protect one another and are vulnerable.  

editing: 

majority of the shots are long shots as they tend to build up as much suspense as they can a long with the enigma of wondering what the outcome is going to be. any short shot is mainly to do with violence which also has its own way of creating tension as there is so much going on in one scene, so much that cannot be controlled which makes the audience feel as if they are in the movie.

they love to use low angles and, in this case, to represent the young girl as her hight isn't of course as tall as her mothers. it also shows how little power she has over anything and how the mother is the leader although she is powerless. 

dialogue:

"But under no circumstances are you allowed to take of your blindfold "

"Every contact we have had from the outside has brought us death."

the music that would play leads up within the suspense of long shot, the longer it is taking in the scene the higher pitch or deeper the music is going which creates a sense of anticipation which makes you want to see what's going to happen even more. 

the voice covers are birds chirping in the background or little whispers trying to lead everyone with their blindfolds on to take it off. there are also the gun shots and people screaming. the branches cracking as they step through the forest.
