Film Analysis of Psycho PSYCHO is a unique film because it is a black and white film in the age of colour. Secondly it showed the first naked body on screen.

Analysis of Trainspoting "Make a close analysis of a film segment you have viewed and describe the use of mise-en-scene and editing." I have chosen to analyse a small segment of the film "Trainspotting".

A unique feature for the movie Dial M for Murder is that it is made known to the viewers who the murderer is and what his plan is. Despite that, the film still remains very suspenseful.

The film makers of Chicken Run have used presentational devices to give us clues about each character. They use camera angles, setting, costume, lighting, music, sound effects, body language and facial expressions to portray a character as good or evil. I will personally concentrate on Ginger and Mrs. Tweedie, and how the film makers depict them as good and evil.
