Movie research: The Call

The call- 2013

Cams- The camera angles, movements, and shots includes: The establishing shot to start off the movie, aerial shots to give the view of the helicopters, tracking shots to track the kidnappers car, the trunk shot when the kidnapper tries to talk to the girl, The two shots to show cops talking, and many close-ups.

Editing- The editing in this movie includes: Many Jump cuts, cross-cutting, cutaways, graphic matches, eye-line matches, many shot reverse shots, and reaction shots.

Sound- The sound in this movie includes: Eerie and suspenseful music, diegetic sound like dialogue, non-diegetic sound, ambient sound, and a couple of sound bridges.

Elements: The elements include: A lot of suspense and tension in scenes with a good plot. Used a lot of fast motion scenes and had fast pacing.

What I liked: I enjoyed the fast pacing and the intense plot points and ending. Another thing I liked was how the main character Jordan had an emotional connection to the kidnapped girl.

What I didn't like: There's not much I didn’t like. I think it was a really solid watch. But pretty much the only thing I didn’t like was the repeated extreme close-ups, it was just too much and weird.

The C.L.A.M.P.S in this movie include:

•Costumes include: Since half of the movie took place in a police station, most of the people wore a uniform for the operator desk and police uniforms. The kidnapped girl wore regular attire and the kidnapper wore regular attire too.

•The lighting includes Natural lighting in many scenes like the mall, Dark lighting in the trunk and the basement, and bright lighting in the hive.

•The actors include Halle Berry as the main character/operator, Abigail Breslin as the girl who gets kidnapped, and Michael Eklund as the kidnapper. There were many other actors like Morris Chestnut who played the cops.

•The makeup includes Regular day to day makeup, fake blood, fake bruises, and makeup to make someone look dead.

•Some important props include Guns, police badge, shovels, paint buckets, phone, flashlight, and tools.



•The settings include The police station to show where the call took place, the original kidnapped girl house, the mall, the freeway and the basement where the ending takes place.
