In our lesson on Wednesday, we watched the opening 3 minutes of the film Wrong Turn. We had to tae notes about the visual and audio techniques from the 3 minutes.

The audio effects in the opening of Wrong Turn were mainly the tempo of the music. The sounds get louder and louder as the danger gets closer.
At the beggining of the film, the music was orchestral and has a loud drumming every 10ish seconds. The most noticable instrument you hear is the violin.

The sounds in the opening minutes are much louder than they are in reality. This makes the audience jump when watching because they do not expect it to be so loud. For example, when she got the knife out to cut the rope the noise of it coming out of her bag was much louder.


There are also lots of different visual effects used in the opening minutes of the film.
At the beginning of the film, the camera shot is a birds eye shot because this shows what danger they are in because they are so high up.
Also, they use the point of view shot for example when her boyfriend is killed and the blood falls on her face, you get a close up of her face and you can tell she is terrified and that automatically makes the audience terried.

Other sots used are low and high shots when the boy gets to the top of the cliff, this tries to show he has more power than the woman because he gets to the top before her.
