The Shallows - Get Out of the Water!
The Shallows analysis - Hitchcock inspiration Close up shot of her lying on the rock, but almost at her eye level. Even though it’s a close up, she is seen from quite an awkward angle (just like how Hitchcock has been known to film actors). Quite disorientating —> makes her seem vulnerable, reflects her unstable state of mind. Similar angle to Psycho —> distorted body, makes the audience feel uncomfortable. Blurry image showing what she is seeing, exactly how she is seeing it. She’s weak and only partially conscious (she has been injured or something has happened to her) so her vision is blurred and can only just make out the two surfers. The audience is not only seeing directly from her eye kind, but we are physically seeing through her eyes. The seagull is there in shot most of the time, like in The Birds. —> circling their prey. Makes eerie noises all the time/screeching/vicious
