UWantMe2KillHim?- Film analysis.

Plot.Directed by Andrew Douglas.

Detective Inspector Sarah Clayton tries to find out why schoolboy Mark would want to stab his friend Jon. The two were supposed to be friends, yet Mark kept saying, when questioned, that the crime was necessary. As she starts to investigating into the crime and the two teenagers, she finds out

that Mark talked to a lot of people on chatrooms and became fascinated with Rachel, Jon's sister, while talking to her in a chatroom. She manages to

convince him to befriend her brother Jon. Mark quickly begins to fall in love with her, after finding out about her domestic abuse by her boyfriend Kevin and believing that they cannot meet because she's in a witness protection

program. He's outrage when Jon tells him that Kevin has killed Rachel, convincing Mark to begin planning revenge against Kevin. Mark's sanity has

been slowly falling apart. Mark begins his plans to stab Jon after another online friend, MI5 agent Janet, tells him that Jon is being used in a terrorist

plot and is going to shot everyone at school. It is then revealed that Jon planned the entire thing and that he pretended to be Rachel, Janet and even

Rachel's boyfriend. Non of them really existed.

Characters and how they are a typical thriller character.

• Jamie Blackley as Mark- In some ways he is a character in a twisted relationship as he was convinced to stab someone and was ready to stab someone else because of a relationship.

• Toby Regbo as Jon- world weary person as he was always worried about being caught.

• Joanne Froggatt as Detective Inspector Sarah Clayton- cop.

• Liz White as Janet-MI5 agent.

• Jaime Winstone as Rachel- Menaced women.

• Mingus Johnston as Kevin- criminal.

Themes and messages.The film has themes on stalking, revenge and obsession because mark became obsessed with Jon's sister Rachel and wanting to

get revenge. It also has the theme of investigation as the whole film was about finding out why Mark stabbed Jon.

I think the message of this film is always be careful of who you talk to on the internet and think about if you actually know them

before you get personal with them.

Techniques.Low key lighting.

Chiaroscuro.

The film uses a lot of low key lighting as you can see from the picture. This will be used to give a dark feeling. Similarly the weather was moody throughout the film this give the same effect.

Because the film used low key lighting it meant it had some chiaroscuro like in the picture. This give the film a very mysterious feeling as you cant see the characters emotions and sometimes what they are doing.

Close ups.

Extreme close up.

The close ups in this film were mainly used to show the characters emotions at the time. As you can see clearly see from the picture that Jon is unhappy and slightly scared.

The extreme close ups were mainly used to exaggerate the words on the chatrooms. For example here the words kill someone are zoomed into to create a eerie sense of the words.

Dramatic angles.

The use of dramatic angles here makes the audience question what he is doing there.

Because at that point of the film he has found that Rachel fell from that exact block of flat, so it

makes the audience question if he will jump aswell or if he’s going to see someone.
