Research - '44 inch chest' - Jack

Throughout this whole opening, it straightaway gives the film more of an eerie feeling as throughout the whole sequence there is continuously raised questions to what is happening/ has happened. The title '44 inch chest' can be used to relate to the character of the man as his look is represented as quite masculine, and looks like quite a big, strong guy. Therefore relating to the image of abnormally 44 inch chest. 

Sound:

• Contrapuntal sound is used - this could suggest many meanings within the sequence. The song is a love song about an end of relationship, therefore this could possibly be related to what has happened in the film and this is why the man is in the traumatic state. However it could be contrapuntal sound which could get us thinking about something completely different. 
• Sound builds up as the spectator gets more acknowledgment to what has happened - creates tension. Possibly the sound could now be more parallel to the context. For example, the sound gets louder and has a faster pace when there is a close up of the man's face, this therefore creates a deeper meaning how we feel towards the character.

Mise on scene:

• Setting - the setting has many elements of realism, therefore we can relate to both of the places. With the threatening state this can be used to shock the viewer due to the relation being made. 
• De-saturated colour - can be used to suggest that we're not seeing it exactly as it's happening; it could possibly be a dream or a flashback of the incident. 
• Everything is practically torn to shreds - could portray that if it was a person that had broken in, they may have been looking for something. 

• The man on the floor and the man on the sofa are both wearing aprons - leaves spectator to think what the relationship between the two men is. Could the man on the sofa be responsible for the incident? Or could he be a relation?
• Wind on the furniture - suggests that there is an open window and that it was a possibly break-in.

• The dog is also there which leaves raised questions to why it is there. It could possibly be the dog that caused the incident or it could not belong to the man. We can see this as the dog is hiding under the furniture, looking anxious to what has happened and avoiding the scene as much as possible. 

Camera work:

• Focus pull and shallow depth of field on glass - creating focus on why it is there and what has happened. 
• Glass could be diamonds/gems - this could possibly be the reason for if it was a break-in or burglary.

• Slow panning on man on the floor - used to gain good establishment of the narrative and also to raise enigma about the situation: has he been attacked? or was this the result of his attacking someone? This could therefore lead to the character thinking whether they are meant to be against the character on the floor or not. 
• Wide-shot with the man lying on the floor and the window open - this could suggest that it may have been a burglary and that they have broken in through the window. It could also lead the audience to wonder if the 'burglar'   is still in the house, or has he/she escaped back out the window.

• Long close-up on character's face - able to establish the condition of the man. Shows his eyes closing and leaves the spectator to question: is he going to die? Is he going to be the lead character or not?

Editing:

• Continuity editing - so the viewers are able to understand chronologically what has happened to the man and gain a good understanding of the narrative.
• Uses wall as the transition - the audience are able to see where the man is lying in relation to the rest of the house/ or room. 

• Slow cuts - so the spectator can get a better insight and view to what has happened in the house.
