My Sisters Keeper

This is the opening scene to "My Sisters Keeper" (0:21 - 2:39)
I picked to anaylise this scene as I adore how the scene is so delicate and simply shown. I think that as it is such a gentle scene, Its more powerful in touching the audiences emotions.

Its start off with a quite a fuzzy recording of what then leads to the sky. The fuzzy recording hazes through a selection of rich blues and lightly faded colour blues. Already a relaxed tone is being portrayed through the idea of colour imagary. Carrying on the idea of relaxed and mellow, Its followed by a Kite flying in the sky, with occasional reflections of the sun. The simple looking scenery appears quite heavenly, which helps the Audience relate back to 'heaven and peace'. I think that, they tried to relate to a peaceful place at the start of the film, so that they could foreshadow a subtle idea of what may happen.

A character starts speaking over the recording, in a exceedingly gentle voice. The voice remains quite clear, However without whispering creates a sense of innocence. Eventhough, the audience understand the importance to listen, They never meet the character speaking until later on.

Still remainly gentle and delicately, The clip of the sky dissapears and changes into a selection of Human Body Cells. Eventhough, the images appearance doesnt seem peaceful, The melody in the background helps remain the viewers of the tranquility being set. The music repeats playing, underneath the characters voice at a much quietier level. I think that the music helps makes the scene melt together and flow smoothly, which i beleive is vital whilst emphasizing the idea of peace.

Slowly, Dated recordings are being shown to the audience, Of a young family. As the scene progresses, The family gets older. It appears to look like memories, and eventually they are getting more recent. Showing an idea of looking into the past, also reinforces the idea of peace moreso.

The font used for the credits is in a delicate font style and remains still. It's a white colour, which can represent the idea of peace. The font fades in and fades out which makes it appear very delicate and dainty to the viewers watching.
