He loves me He loves me not scene deconstruction #2


1:20:00 – 1.23:17

Sound
  • ‘I have no one’ – relates to note she left ‘I have no one only you’
  • Slow, instrumental, violin music
  • Unlocking of door
  • As door opens music fades out and all that can be heard is crickets
  • As he is in the house slow rumbling music builds
  • Footsteps – big house, alone, isolated in her environment
  • As he opens door high pitched piano keys as he reveals the collage/homage to himself on the wall
  • Creepy, high pitched violin and tinkling music
  • Music is contrapuntal to action

Mise en scene
  • Notes in rubbish – he has rejected them
  • Lots of notes left by her as he rummages through them
  • Key saying ‘Loic’
  • House is a mess  - destroyed
  • Mess surrounds the sofa where she waited for his call – empty plates, drink bottles shows she was almost living around the phone when she was waiting
  • Family photos ripped from the walls – family’s happiness contrasts to her angst
  • Wedding photograph centralised in the master bed – main focus, she focussed on the ideals of love
  • Ripped/torn wedding dress hung up
  • Collage of him is well lit in constrast to the rest of the house which is in darkness
  • Collage is life sized
  • Made up from materials she has gathered and memories she believes they have shared
  • His scarf that she obsessed over thinking he left for her is included
  • The rose he gave to her is treasured although wilted
  • Collage has become main focus of the room – dominants the space
  • Note she left is included
  • Running up to house – urgency
  • Slow turning of key – doesn’t want it to be true
  • House in darkness and only certain parts are lit
  • Fan has been left on making the chiffon curtain billow

Camera angles
  • Over head angle – looking down on him in bed
  • Close up of his face to see realisation in his face
  • Camera follows his movement from the drawers to the rubbish bin
  • Camera’s focus is on Loic’s movement
  • Sharply follows his action then goes back to his face
  • Long shot of him running up to house
  • Close up of the key in the door
  • Camera remains static as door opens
  • Long shot then zoom on living room
  • Tracking shot – follows him from behind
  • Close up of his face to capture reaction
  • Pan from one side of the room to the other so audience feel they see what Loic sees
  • Camera follows his eye line – as he moved his eyeline up to the wedding dress so did the camera
  • Eyeline match
  • Over the shoulder shot
  • Zoom to close up of his face for reaction to the collage of himself
  • Mid shot of both Loic and the collage
  • Camera swerves and scans done the collage
  • Close up of his hand on the scarf and note
  • Pan across to rose
  • Close up on wilted rose

Editing
  • Overlay of previous film footage over the close up shot of Loic lying awake in bed – acts like a replay of what has happened
  • Jump cuts from one moment of action to the next
  • Camera movement – tilts and pans
  • Zooms in on living room setting
  • Scenes go from light to dark – heightens fear
  • Builds tension towards the reveal of the collage – contrast of light of the room from darkness of the corridor
