10 Cloverfield Lane
Director: J.J. Abrams
Camera Movements/Angles/Shots
An over the shoulder shot is used when Howard is talking to Michelle to show her reactions to and mistrust of what he is saying. The power dynamic between the two main characters is shown through camera angles. A low angle is used when Howard is the focus of the shot to show the control he has over the situation. A high angle is used when Michelle is the focus towards the beginning of the film to show that she is powerless. This idea is further shown in a low angle shot of Michelle when she tries to escape the bunker. She is put in a high position, which makes her have the power for that short period.
Mise En Scene
The bunker that the characters stay in is empty, which demonstrates isolation. The bunker is disorganized and filled with objects that add to the confusion throughout the movie. The costumes are simple, but the makeup is used for gore effects. The woman outside the bunker early in the movie has rashes on one side of her face. Later on in the movie when Howard falls into acid, his face is severely burned.
Lighting
In the scene where Michelle looks outside the bunker, a strong source of bright light in the focus of the shot. This hard lighting intensifies the shadows and makes the bunker behind her darker. The bunker is lit with a lot of intense blue lighting. When Michelle escapes through the vents, the room is lit with warm colors.
Sound
In some scenes, Howard's voice has an echo, which reinforces his power. 10 Cloverfield Lane relies on its non-diegetic score for its sound.
