Deconstruction



4,3,2,1 Deconstruction - Webcam Scene
Close up of the photos on the wall, hand held panning across them, slightly shaky which makes it look realistic and believable but also makes it more frightening. The camera does a quick pan across his items and the computer then rotates around Cassie to reveal more of the room. Photos with black background on a white wall makes them stand out, she has blonde hair and she is wearing light clothing which makes her stand out in the pictures.  
The shots of the boy are always low angle shots which shows Cassie has the power of the situation and it shows the weakness of the boy. Close up of both faces shows the different emotions and fear.
Dvds and a laptop can be seen in many shots which repeats the technology theme. A close up of a folder on the laptop shows that the folder is important. Videos of Cassie start to flash up on the laptop, the camera swaps between her reaction and the videos showing the shock and disgust of the situation. A close up of one of the videos shows Cassie undressing which shows the audience why he's been watching her.
The computer is black with a small webcam on top with a classic black swivel computer chair. The screensaver/background is once again Cassie showing the obsession with her. It is light and has a white background which stands out on the dark computer. Dvds and a laptop are seen.
The camera shows another computer folder and pans to the left to reveal another screen with cctv footage of Cassie's house showing how he has hacked into her computer, cctv, creating his own personal footage. A shot of Cassie holding the phone and a look of disgust shows that there are also images on the phone. This shows how technology and different forms of technology can be used and can be dangerous.
He has comic book posters on the wall which coincide with his nerdy/geeky stereotypical appearance and personality, lots of comic figures and collectable action figures around the room show his childish side and his immaturity. This also shows his obsession and his hobby. In all the shots there is bright, natural light coming into the room which helps emphasise the dark photographs on the minimal walls. 



Editing: Quick, fast, straight cuts which is typical of a fast paced action scene. The camera alternates between the characters, the room and the obsessive features within it to position the audience with sympathy towards Cassie. However the shots of the boy are always very similar with quick changes between the laptop and Cassie.

Sound: An eery drone which rises slightly in pitch and also grows louder as she discovers the photos.
