4:00 am by CIA Productions

I watched the 4:00 am film introduction. I believe it starts very well; the music brings the tension up as it is repetitive and methodical. The way the clips are edited makes them look very emotional and interesting. This is down to the fact that they are made to be black and white, and look grainy. Also the shots are mixed in speed. Some are quite quick and punchy, whereas some of the flash back images are really jerky and all piece together to zoom into Issy’s eye. This is a shocking and realistic way of filming the clips.

When the film goes to the room where Issy is on the floor in the corner the frame around the screen, with the clock along the bottom, this looks really realistic and similar to a CCTV image which is what the students are trying to mimic. When the big 4:00 sign comes up on the screen, the mood changes and the actress starts to scream and claw at the walls. This is very realistic and makes the film very thrilling. This film would be classed as a thriller, as it has the major components of one. It has tension and drama, and shocks emotions which are what makes this film good.
