Music
At the beginning of the clip the music slowly builds in volume, the score consists of high pitched noises and upbeat tempo that is slow this compliments the cinematography at this time as the audience are slowly introduced to the insects through the use of extreme close ups. Making the audience feel intrigued to see the insects are in this location. Moreover when the man enters the room and starts shuffling around a soprano sound overlaps the score, this adds tension and suspense as the audience await to see the identity of the man.
Sound:
I have used this wordle tool to illustrate the use of sound in the clip. The use of a hyperbollic sound of the pen writing on the paper adds significance to the action made. This makes the audience feel drawn to paper and prompts the audience to question what is he writing, why is he writing? In addition to this the use of the diegetic sound of the insects creates a magical atmosphere which is effective as its a film aimed at young children. This adds a sense of excitement to the scene and compliments the imagery the audience witness of the insects and the location the film is set in.
Editing:
Quick cuts are used in the clip when there are a series of close ups of a variety insects. This has been used to convey a lot of information quickly and imply the atmosphere is energetic and chaos. This is reinforced when the character runs into the room and starts to rush. In addition to this towards the end of the clip some shots are of a long duration. This is used to draw an emotional response from the reader as we witness the man looking terrified as he looks out the window. Moreover it draws the audience to whats on the screen.
When the titles begin they fade in and fade out slowly, this creates a creepy atmosphere, the music compliments this. Again it also creates a magical feeling, which enhances the fantasy aspect of the film.
