Saw 4

I watched Saw 4 last night. This trailer has exactly what I have been looking for. At 0.21 - 0.25 the shots are short, shocking and almost jump out of the screen. It seems like a lot longer than 4 seconds, but to me that's the beauty of it. The screams and disturbing sounds make this 4 seconds even more intense. I will most definitely like to do this in my film, most likely at the end of the introduction so that it has a great impact. My aim is that the audience will want to watch the rest of the film. I want my audience to be really taken aback.

In this YouTube video it starts off with 2 men. One has his mouth sewn up and the other his eyes. What makes the scene so dramatic is the fact they are unable to communicate which is what they would need to do to have a chance of surviving. But instead it's a fight to live. It's definitely a powerful scene which puts the audience on edge.

The next part is a lady with her hair tied in a trap. I really like the effect at 3.32 which is a flash right across the screen. It's simple but really effective and clearly shows what the Saw producer wants to create intensity. This is exactly what I want to create so I will be using this technique in my film.
