GG - A deconstruction of '5ive Girls' (Warren. P. Sonoda, 2006)


5ive Girls
Budget: $3M

A link to the IMDb page for '5ive Girls'
  • Starts with an extreme long establishing Shot of an old building with a high fence around its perimeter. This could signify that the building is either trying to keep people on or keep them out. 
  • We can denote that it is a religious building because we get a close up of a girl holding Rosemary Beed's which connotes religion.
  • The school girl in a school is the equilibrium.
  • A soft piece of non-diegetic music is used to help create suspense. Piano and soft strings. 
  • A cross falls off the wall and breaks. Foreshadowing bad events are to come. 
  • The lighting becomes dark signifying bad is to come, the non-diegetic music speeds up creating tension. 
  • Not much dialog is used but a lot of Mise-en-scene is used. 
  • An extreme close up of the girl touching the priest's hand has polysemic meaning that she could have sinned. 
  • An extreme close up of her eyes shows fire in them which could signify evil. 
  • There is a lot of shot variation used to create a feel of un-certainty and to make it more interesting.
  • Lots of use's of cut away shots.
