Shutter (2004) Analysis

Shutter (2004) is a Thai horror/thriller film.
Camera:
  • The lense of the camera is always red which automatically connotes danger and blood even before the film has started. This influences the audience to believe that despite the film not even have started yet, they already know the intentions of the film are.
  • As well as this the camera shows short flashes at photographs which introduce the character within the film. These flashes of photographs increase with speed alongside the music, adding to the suspense.
  • Also, random words appear on the camera lense which implies that anything could be round the corner which makes it eery.
Editing:
  • The film is edited in a rough, jagged way that almost makes the audience jump. This gets their emotions on edge and creates a scary, eery atmosphere.
Sound:
  • The music within this film is high-pitched, screechy music that gathers in speed and volume as the introduction goes on. This adds to the tension within the scene, which is already scaring the audience and nothing has even happened yet.
