Nossyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!1. What ideas are introduced?
In the beginning, several ideas were introduced, such as death and black magic. Hutter picks up the flowers from their natural habitat thus "killing" them, eventually they wither and die. Later on, we discover Knock Reading through several mysterious symbols and equations; one of which shows the triangular symbol of black magic. Black magic invokes when wishing to kill, steal, injure, cause misfortune or destruction. But the main feature of black magic within that particular scene is personal gain without regard to harmful consequences to others as Knock sends of Hutter to a long journey in hopes of gaining money out of it - to which additionally greed is also introduced.
2. Who are introduced?
An exaggerated, madly in love couple are introduced. As well as the devious Knock. We can clearly state from the beginning who the hero is and assuming who the villain is.
3. What are they doing?
We can see that the husband is picking flowers for his wife - showing clear affection for her. Later on, we see him heading for work. Whilst back at, the wife is shown as a sensitive, simplistic and innocent woman while she plays with the cat and sows.
4. What are the connotations of this?
The is a stereotypical young married couple as each are portrayed in a certain way. It seems the husband is always the one to work while the wife stays home. The wife sits by the window waiting for his return from work as she plays with the small kitten. She is also portrayed quite simplistic as she calmly does her needlepoint.
5. How would you describe the music and what effect does this have?
The music within this movie is played to help audiences understand feelings and expressions being portrayed by the actors. In the beginning, you can hear a more happy melody to represent the love between the couple. The flute is played to emphasise the wife's innocence. In the scene where Knock begins to smirk as he gets greedy with money, the music becomes harsh and you hear the piano's notes being played in a careless manner as the notes become slightly high-pitched. The orchestra is using low bass to mimic Knock's evil expression as his eyes read the rest of the sheet.
6. What questions are left unanswered?
The main question left unanswered is the mysterious stranger that walks up to Hutter and says "you can't walk from your destiny". This clearly shows now heroes always have a destiny and how they will soon prove it.
7. How is this piece edited?
Most angles and shots are used to show the emotions and expressions of characters. Other shots are to represent areas and unfamiliar environments to raise that uncomfortable feeling when going to a strange place such as mountains are in the shots to emphasise the long, difficult journey utter embarked on.
8. Effect of editing?
Editing is mainly used to keep music going throughout even when speeches were shown. This is known as a music bridge where the music is played over the script and scenes that cut to the next.
9. What themes are introduced?
Others themes such as suspicion and mystery is introduced, whereby a suspicious stranger walks towards Hutter talking about his destiny. Also, when you see the hero leaving his love to pursue his "destiny" is presented as Hutter embarks on his journey to a far and strange land.
