A great interpreter of this final result takes place as powdered ginger and the other chickens are be chased through the chicken yard by guard dogs. The camera angle in this scene flickers backwards and forwards constantly, keeping in tempo with what is pickings place at present throughout the chase. As the chase comes to a climax Mrs Tweedy appears in front of Ginger and the camera angle changes to a low angled crack and stays fixed, this proves that all is calm again and The very first shot is of the moon.This instantly implies the genre and sets the purport f the film the shot is very typical of the horror image genre of films fread-only memory the 20th century (which is also when the film is set). 3. The first shot pans down across to where Mr Tweedy and his deuce dogs are walking. The view of the fencing material surrounding the farm closely resembles the prisoner-of-war films which inspired the film itself. There is closely no sound and the euphony is appease and mysterious to effect. He has dogs with him, close likely for protection, with fierce expressions, showing the mood of the scene. 4. Match-on-action shot of Mr Tweedys hand checking the seal in on the gate.This suggests that he does not want anything or anyone getting in or out, and that he may be hiding something. Cut to an fundamental low-angle close-up of his feet walk ing away. We never pay heed his face in the first originate of this sequence. This creates a sense of mystery as to who he is. It could mean that he is the main antagonist of the film because of this. 5. A fgure emerges and tries not to be noticed. This promote suggests the first character we see (Mr Tweedy) is the antagonist since a character wants to incubate from him, but we still dont fully understand why the fgure is hiding rom him.There is mystery surrounding the fgure as well as we cannot see (yet) who it is. animal foot emerges before the rest of the body, suggests the figure is nervous of showing him/herself. 6. The water reign in the background connotes a guard tower in a typical prisoner-of-war film, so again there is reference to films such as The Great Escape which the film closely parodies, and also that there is a greater force on Mr Tweedys side. 7. The shadow (Ginger) makes a run for it, again essay not to be caught. The way the dog hears Ginger first suggest s the jeopardy is hot she is about o be caught. . Ginger is nearly caught an example of a false alarm where we believe the character has been caught but hasnt. 9. Match-on-action shot shows her frustration as she digs. Shot of the spoon being thrown back onto the tale she is forced to leave everything but herself behind. 10. We are misled to believe she is sately across and all the riskiness is over, but in the next snot more chickens arrive. These twain shots echo the previous shots of Ginger running across, so the risk of danger is repeated. 12. slip-up between the two actions of the chickens trying to scape and the dogs running towards them again this shows frustrationand mechanical press for the chickens and a sense of danger. The sound and music both add to this effect by suddenly increasing spectacularally, rising as the dogs near. 13. The sound and music have now increased to their full volume as Ginger turns to run. We finally see the face of the character we saw at t he beginning, albeit for two brief seconds. The camera whirs in bang-uply on his triumphant expression. 14.Short, sharp cuts between shots, as well as the camera following the dogs, creates a feel of speed and shows the impact of the chase. Ginger stops and turns back in this shot she has nowhere to turn. 15. Shot-reverse-shot between Ginger and the dogs is used to show she is trapped. The camera also backs away with Ginger there is a slow zoom out on this shot of the dogs closing in. 16. The dog eating the gnome head (that Ginger tries to force them away with) shows her helplessness and what is destined for her. We dont see the impact of the head being eaten, implying violence. 17. Close-up shot of her head, slowly panning in.The attention is on her terrified expression, as the camera zooming in slowly shows how her doom is coming nearer nd nearer. 18. Both Ginger and the dogs turn at the light from behind her. The lighting has changed and is like a light from heaven as if Ginge r is being called or summoned, as if everything has already happened. The music has also stopped suddenly. 19. Cutting back to the curious faces of the chickens. There is no music and very quiet sound everyone has stopped to look, creating suspense of what they are looking at. 20. The camera pans up revealing the true main antagonist, with a short piece of dramatic music for this shot.
