Previous Year's Work - Silent Water

Silent Water

This is one of my favourite sequences because it works very well by following the rules but is still different to the others. The only diegetic sound is taht of the water, which is significant. The running water shows that the main female is still alive, yet by the time the tap is dripping she is drowing in her bath.The non-diegetic sounds of the eerie music and voice overs work very well, the dialogue explains the background to the story so that it makes sense. The music and choice of shots build up suspense, and you begin to wonder what is about to happen. The credits also help to maintain the suspense and tension, because without them the sequence might not have worked in such an effective way.
