'Black Hole' Analysis

Analysis (Media language)

• Sound is represented very well in this short film. Although there is no dialogue, a drowning sound effect is used to portray this spooky, eerie atmosphere inside the room. The room below, looks like an office, and this is reiterated later on as we find out the main character is wearing a suit.

• The image above, shows the title of the film almost inside the black hole. The frame looks like a hole as it is shaped like a circle. The use of colour in particular the dark, spooky feel we get as soon as we see the first frame.
• The main character is male and the oly character we see in the film. He is around 30 years of age and is seen wearing a white shirt and tie. 

• A MLS is used in this frame so the audience can see the character itself and determine what sort of character he is. The editing pace is slow in this film which perhaps tells us the character isn't under any real pressure at all. All we can tell is the black hole provides a route for grabbing objects such as a cup and a snickers bar from the vending machine. We are told very little about the situation that the character is in and where he needs to go. 
• Below, shows us that the black hole can be used as a prop to take objects behind it. The camera angle in this frame is a MS so that we can see everything clearly in the image.

• The frame below shows the main character looking directly into the hole to search for something. A MCU is used at this point so we can gather the character's facial expression and body language. We can then tell from this whether the character has got something significant or not.
• A point in this film where we have a good understanding of the situation is when the man reaches through the blackhole to grab some money. It looks as if there is a washing machine behind the black hole which he then steps into.
