Analysis of Cloverfield

When watching the clip, it starts off with a happy atmosphere as there is a surprise party, the sound effects are fast moving music and people cheering (having a good time). The atmosphere changes when the screen goes dark and when car alarms go off. There is also a loud strange noise which changes the mood of the party, people start to worry but then then lights come back on. We find out when something has happened when the news bulletin comes on. The people go outside to see if they can see or hear anything and then the loud noise comes back and there is a big explosion, what we can see in the distance. The atmosphere has changed from people worrying to people being frightened. People start to panic and try and run away from what people think is a monster. We then get a glimpse of the monster but people turn and run when it starts throwing objects.

The camera (1st Person) is a key role in creating the atmosphere because it makes you feel like you are there, you can see and hear what everyone around you can see and hear. The sound effects also play a key role in the atmosphere as you can hear the sound effects of the people (screaming) and because the monsters noise tells us that something bad is about to happen. The light effects add to the reality as most of the lighting is like what you would see in real life. This works well with the 1st person camera view as it is suppose to make you feel like you are there.
