Shutter Island Analysis :)

Here is a video of me and Isaac, which Charlie recorded observing the four key areas of the film being Mise En Scene,  Camera Angles and Shots, Editing and Sound :) We also discuss the film as a whole and talk about the ending and how that is effective, and how we could potentially apply these to our trailer.
I also made notes whilst watching the film which I will write down on here:
Random Infomation:
At the beginning it opens with editing fades with the Production Company, which we will use in our trailer. Also throughout the film the colours are very dark, which connotates the sinister film that Shutter Island is, so I think when applying this idea to our film trailer, we should start with the brighter colours then later on in the trailer start using darker colours. They also use pathetic falicy in the film, as during the film it is mainly a hurraciane, which stops at the end of the film when the storm stops and the last scene where the residents of Shutter Island are cleaning up the debrie of the storm, showing that the main character has accepted reality of him being a resident of Shutter Island. Throughout Shutter Island, there is vaious little hints that imply the events to come at the end, and I think when applying this to our film trailer we should reveal only a few little bits but not alot.
Mise En Scene:
Through mise-en-scene I think that Shutter Island portrayed it very well as it was around about the beginning/during the Cold War era, and the clothing of suits with hats as such were very effective. I think in the mise-en-scene section there wasn't much that we could exactly apply to our film. The actors were also good for the part as they looked the part as in the actual people looked like in their face features that they were from that era, which again made the film more believable.
Camera Angles:
There was at the beginning a kind of establishing shot, of the boat coming out of the fog which I thought was very effective, which as I discussed before works with pathetic falicy, as the fog almost reduces your vision of the film, not giving any infomation away. Also it has quite a long screen time during this shot, which creates tension from the beginning shot. Close-ups were used during the scene when they are in the Shutter Island graveyard, which also with the mixture of editing of the lightning in the scene that creates the more tense atmosphere.Again another close up which comes with the lightning, is when he is in the Wardens office, which flashes up on screen of these freaky pictures from the American Civil War.
Editing:
Editing in Shutter Island is very important, as it shows the strange moods and feelings during the film. There are various differant things which I think are effective, for example when the triggering of the flashback, there is that record playing, which goes instantly to the scene with the main character and a Nazi officer. During the film there are multipule times where there is dreams, and in these dreams the editing starts to blend with reality for example during the scene where he is in the old American Civel War headquarters, and the smoke from the ciggerette is going back into the cigerette and he is inhaling the smoke rather than breathing it out which is a really good effect.
Sound:
As I mentioned in the video above, sound is cruicial, and there is alot of use of big bass sounds, and also softer noises whcih creates tension for example violins etc.
