Camera angles:
One camera angle they use very often in the film is close ups.
In a lot of the scenes the characters are in small spaces and to show that, they used close ups.
They also used POV shots to show things from the character’s point of view and increase suspense.
They also used wide shots a lot, since most of the scenes are underwater and they needed to show all of the open space and sharks.
Costumes, lighting, actors, makeup, props, setting:
The characters change between a few different costumes throughout the film.
At first they are wearing tropical clothes and bathing suits that you could wear to the beach.
They also wear dresses and party attire in the beginning of the movie.
For the majority of the movie they wore scuba gear and diving suits though.
The lighting at the beginning of the movie was bright and natural.
When they go underwater it gets darker and more blue tinted.
When something starts to go wrong it is usually darker or redder in color.
Throughout the film they wear no makeup since they go underwater and are at the beach for all of the scenes.
The props they use are the equipment on the boat and the diving equipment.
The setting is in the middle of the ocean in a cage underwater.
Sounds:
At the beginning, there is a song playing over the clips. This happens again whenever there is a montage or timeskip.
They also have water noises prevalent throughout the film.
Editing:
A lot of the film was one like event occurring, but there were many cuts between the shark and the divers.
Elements of thriller in the movie:
Suspense and mild body horror are shown in the movie. Those are also common in the thriller genre.
What elements of the genre did the movie have that you liked?
I liked how the movie left you on edge for a lot of it and made you feel nervous for what would happen next.
What elements of the genre did the movie have that did not appeal to you?
I usually don’t like gore or body horror so I didn’t really enjoy the shark attack scenes.
