The Lovely Bones (Film Adaptation)

Lovely Bones:

    The Film starts with a deep focus on the snow globe with a penguin trap in what is known as a "perfect world". Then the scene fades from the past, when Susie was younger, to the present time. Something important that I noticed was the high camera angle over the sink whole, its an important scene because that's where Susie's body got dumped. when Susie saved her brother's life I noticed that the music was first slow when Buckley was first hurt but, after when Susie started driving the car it became much more faster and it built more tension. During that part where she saved her brother. her grandmother said that she would live a long and happy life because she had saved her brother. I find this part as a dramatic irony, because the audience watching the movie knows that Susie will not live a long and happy life. This scene dissolved into a white light, and that's when Susie starts telling her story about how she got murdered. While Susie was in the mall, there was a shot when Susie was reading a magazine and she peeped up to look at her secret crush, while she was looking, Mr. Harvey, her murderer walked by, and was watching her. While Susie was walking home from school,there was a long shot to show  the audience what the surroundings looked like right before she encounters Mr.Harvey. The entire film was diegesis, because it every scene had a narrator. There was a dolley shot after Susie's murder, when she was trying to run away from her murder. That was before she was able to grasp the fact that she was dead. Another scene was when the Camera zoomed in on Buckley's drawing of where Susie is, "her heaven".
