Twixt

  • Dream world uses dark, grey and black colours, contrasting with the bright, heavy lighting in the real world
  • Strong lighting on V compared to Baltimore 
  • V’s white clothing shows her as innocent, and stands out in the bleakly coloured dream world
  • Her bright makeup, the only colour in the dream world, shows her as out of place 
  • Vs skin is very pale and ghostly, which distinguishes her as a ghost
  • Although this is the first time the characters have met, the dialogue is casual, alining us with V as we see her to be trustworthy 
  • Woody atmosphere is reminiscent of a graveyard
  • Close up on V before entering the hotel shows her hesitance and suggests she may have prior history with it 
  • Hotel is darkly coloured, and windows are blacked out, suggesting it could be dangerous 
  • Eerie fog and trees around the house further emphasises the potential danger 
  • Tone of the music in the Background creates a calming, magical feeling 
  • Music contrasts with other dream world scenes, where the music is darker and more intimidating
