'One Hour Photo' Trailer - Deconstruction

Point 1: 

Camera Angles/Shots/Movements:
- Close up on the hamster drinking, after a long shot of the man giving it water. Displays his loneliness, he has a pet instead of a girlfriend etc.
- Long shot of him eating with the TV on his table in order to keep him company.
- Medium shot of him in the kitchen along drinking a glass of water. Once again showing his loneliness.
- Over the shoulder shot of him looking at himself in the mirror, his face is rather close up so we can clearly see his unhappy face.

 Mise En Scene:
- Every room he is in he is wearing the same colour as the walls, this shows that he is becoming a part of the house. Perhaps that the house is his only comfort.
- Also the fact that in the dining room there was only one colour (beige) and in the kitchen there was also only one colour (white) displays how he doesn't have anyone else in his life, there is only himself.
- Except for the painting there isn't much decoration around the room, he seems to only have the basic necessities. The room around him seems very bare as the density is stark.
- In the kitchen it is clear that he lives alone as there is only one plate and one bowl by the sink.
Editing:
- The layout of the shots shows him feeding his hamster cutting to him eating and then him drinking. First of all this shows that he is feeding his hamster before himself, it also shows the whole 'family' having their dinner.
- The editing of the shots is very quick, so that the right shots land at the right moment - when the women lists who might love him. This emphasises his loneliness.
Sound:
-Diegetic dialogue at the beginning is used as a sound bridge over the guy's actions.
-This draws links as when she says 'he probably has a girlfriend' there is the image of the hamster, and then she says 'a mummy or daddy who loves him' it shows other clips of him by himself. This demonstrates that in fact he is really lonely.
- There is also non diegetic noise which is tinkling and fast paced when filming the guy. This shows that something is up and is goes against what the mother is saying to her son.

Point 2:  

Camera Angles/Shots/Movements:
- Close ups of the film as it develops.
- High angle shot of the man holding up the film as he studies it.
- The camera first focuses on the man's face and then focuses on the film he is holding, this draws attention to what he is doing and shows that he is focusing a lot on it.
- The camera pivots when looking at the developed photo and carries on turning when it's on the man.

Mise En Scene:
- The majority of the room is dark apart from the red, this connotes danger and also clarifies the guy's job.
- The dark room gives a sense of mystery.
- The coloured outline of the picture looks like a heat sensor.
- His face takes up the whole shot in the next bit, with his eyes the dominant thing. This shows his focus on the film and it then zooms out to see the family photo.
- This transition shows the separation that he has with the family and it shows that he isn't part of the family.
- The dominant colour in this shot is orange which connotes optimism and communication, showing that he is remaining in contact with a family that don't know him. Or he is able to remain in contact with them through his job.
Editing:
-Quick jump cuts of the developing process could display his slow developing love for the family.

- There is then a match on action of him lifting up the film and studying it.
Sound:
- Non diegetic dialogue of the man explaining that he has worked in that shop for a while and developing pictures was his passion and something he loved doing.
- This is used as a sound bridge over all the shots of the pictures developing to show him when he is doing something that he loves.

Point 3

Camera Angles/Shots/Movements:
- Long shot of the party, as if there is an outsider watching in, not involved in the party.
- Close up of the family together, perfect happy family.
- Close up of hands holding the picture, you assume it'll be one of the family members yet its not its the man that works at the shop. Anonymous at the beginning.
- Long two shot of him at the table with the waitress, once again shows his isolation, having dinner out alone.

Mise En Scene:
- Colourful balloons, cheerful. Immediately tells us that it's a party.
- Looks like its in a garden, private area.
- Children party, tells us that it's for family members and the boy's friends only.
- Red hat on the little boy could connote danger as the unknown man is looking through their pictures and has access to all they want to develop.
- Boy has a mother on one side and a father on the other, full screen showing that they aren't alone. Shows he is supported by both his mum and his dad.
- Juxtaposed with him holding the image, surround the image it looks very empty.
Editing:
- White flash on the image as if it's taking a picture. Links in with the plot of the film.
- Fades to a black transition screen.
- Graphic match of the same pictures/similar pictures. Links them together.
Sound:
- Diegetic sound of a woman saying 'what you got there family photos?' to which he answers 'yeah' showing that he considers them to be his family.
- Tense music as the scene goes on showing his lie and how he is stalking them.
- Children laughing at the party.

Typography:

- Simple white text, looks like typewriter font, not very spaced out. This adds impact to the words and makes the sentence have more effect.
- Editing: Has the text behind the camera, looking through the lens.
- White glow on the text to make the words stand out.
- Last title changing colour many times. Similar to the developing process. Links in with the plot.
