Long Kiss Goodnight



 Non diegetic music sounds very depressive and keep us in tense that something terrible is going to happend. Also in this music we can hear adding non-diegetic sounds which sounds like flash they meant to show us somrthing important on screen. On the background there was a sound of children playing and screeming. As well there was diegetic sound of loading up a gun and falling grenade on the floor. After that non-diegetic music stopes and new comes in. It is christmas chorus and then it switches to rock'n'roll style christmas song it supports with diegetic cheering crowd. On the top of music we can her non-diegetic monolog of a woman. 


In the very beginning camera films close up of a handwriting which follows extrem close-up of it but from the other angle. Then there is a close-up of knife trying to cut something. After camera floats through family photos, showing faces of different people than it switches to a close-up of ICA document and after there is extreme close-up of cassette where we see a name. Than it follows with shifting camera close-up of braslete with a key and two lipstics than it suddenly switchs to the simular shot but with bullets. After this goes two gun close-ups, first one is loading the gun and the second one where gun points to the audience direction. Then it switches to some cristmas presents and suddenly to the eye close up. After we can see a mid shot sniper and then matching eye line shot so we can see through the sight. That again it switches to christmas decorations close up.


   Womens hand wrighting name all over again can signify that she is trying to be someone else. Knife highlights violence in the movie, it's a first signe that it's a thriller. Family photos might signify that something terrible happend to them. CIA document let us know that this movie is going to be about a spy. Cassette with the name on is recording something that highlights that someone is watching main character.  Jewelery and lipstics illustrating that main character is a woman. Bullets and guns signifies violence. Christmas decorations let us know the periode of action.


     In editing they’ve reduced two shots, so we can se handwriting over every shot. Also they’ve used negative effect to contrast shots. This effect makes regular things look more evil. Also I’ve seen something like Kuleshov effect for example when negative knife shot appears on screen.
