'Lovefield' Analysis - Matt Bishun

Analysis (Narrative) 

• We believe that this film is a thriller. To show this, we hear loud screams from a woman lying on the floor which suggests some form of attack on her by the male antagonist. We know that it is a woman due to the feminine foot and leg of the person. The foot, below, seems dirty which suggests this person may have walked or even run bare foot, which implies that there is a sense of rush involved.

• It is understood that this short film is a thriller as the use of a crow (MES) is the signal of death. We then feel that somebody will die, but are shocked when the ending isn't what we think it should have been. 
• This is an example of Narrative, the order in which the story is presented. The structure of this non linear. Although there aren't flashbacks, the story ends in an unexpected manner. It ends with the so called 'antagonist' holding a baby in his arms, which is also an example of Unrestricted Narration, as we expected a crime.

• A semantic code during this clip, the crow, is a clear indication that something bad will happen. A crow is a sign of death and the audience expect some kind of murder is imminent. 

• Furthermore, the male antagonist is seen to have a skull tatoo on his right arm. This semantic code again reiterates this theme of horror.
• The Equilibrium in this piece is the countryside, in which is remote, and there are some cries of a crow. The Disruption occurs as the knife is placed in the ground beside the womans leg.

• The Confrontation is when the male antagonist runs away trying to find his car, in which he takes out a blanket, another semantic code. 

• The Resolution is the male antagonist holding the baby. The New Equilibrium is then set, which is of joy and happiness.
