Saw 2 Micro and Macro features

Micro features
The lighting is very minimal to create tension and to prove it is a horror. Point of view shot of the protagonist looking at a television screen with the antagonist talking. Montage of different images- gets faster as the protagonists time runs out. This is used to build tension and give off a sense of panic. The colour of the screen is a green colour. This gives a sick type of feel to the opening and an uneasy setting. They done this by using a green filter on the camera lense when filming. There is diegetic sound when the antagonist is talking to the protagonist through the television screen. The non diegetic music is very fast paced in the background to create tension . During the fast paced music there is a montage of images being shown to create a panic effect and to build suspense.


Macro features


The setting is set in a dungeon/cellar, it is very confined and claustrophobic. The setting is very dark and gloomy which fits the horror genre. The setting has a green background which is created through a green filter on the camera lense. The characters are 1 male victim and 1 male antagonist. There is a lot of blood on the victim. The doll gives a sense of horror as it has a creepy smile on its face and it has a deep voice to hide the antagonists identity. The male victim is wearing a device strapped to his head which is a weapon used by the protagonist. The device is a trap in which he has to get the key before the time runs out or it will close on his head, and kill him. This strikes fear into the audiences eyes as they dont know whether he will get out or not.
