The Ring
Analysis
The first scene of this film is a fade in, high angled shot of a house at night, this is a typical opening to a scary/horror film. In the background you can hear rain hitting the ground. The camera also slowly zooms in on the house. There is also an over-voice saying 'I hate television, it gives me headaches', this shows that the scene is going to change.
The next shot is a two shot of girls watching tv and the camera slowly zooms in on them both while they are talking. They convosation is mainly one-sided and it is about something the might happen to them later on in the film. You can also see the television flickering on the bed and the girl's faces. there is also a faint sound of the television in the background.
Then there's a close up of what they were watching and the tv being turned off. The lighting is very dim in the house that they're in. This also shows that it is night time as people have their lamps on when it's dark outside.
After there's an over the shoulder shot showing the girls having a convosation about something else that might happen to them later. This shot show that even though there's just them two in the room that she's talking to her.
Shot reverse shot of the two girls carrying on talking about something that has happened. You can also hear the rain hitting the window in the background. This shows how quiet it is in the room.

One of the girls messes around to scare the other girl because she was talking about someone being told that they're going to die.
The camera quickly zooms in on the clock to show what time it is. Coincidentally it's 10 o'clock, as this links into what they were talking about before.
Another close up of the other girls face to show that she is scared/worried of what is happening. There's also a shot reverse shot of the other girls face. They hear the phone start to ring and they look even more worried.

This shot shows the phone in focus compared to the background of the shot. This shows that this is where the two girls will be going to as it is ringing.
The girl goes to answer the phone but before says 'This is so lame' and answers it saying 'Embry residence' and then her face changes from a smile to a scared expression. In the background there's tense scary music and looks at the girl. She then gives the phone to her, she says 'hello' expecting something else but then it's actually her mum.
