The Killing Room

The films title is very bold "The Killing Room" suggests a room in which killing takes place, which is basically what happens but not as simple as mindless slaughter, the plot is quite complex and so I think the title should be as witty as the storyline.
The first few scenes are built up of rapid shots, these shots act as a "catchup" to enlighten the audience on all the events that have taken place up until this point, which is the point where the films starts and the main plot begins. A sense of enigma is created why are they locked in a room? what is the meaning of the strange questions they have been asked?
The immaculately clean, plain white walls of the room and the metallic tables and chairs that are bolted to the floor give a sense of some sort of experiment that seems ethically wrong, it gives the stereotype of evil scientists in white coats and face masks on. The quick shots in the main plot give a sense of urgency, this engages the viewer and helps that feel the affects of the characters situation. Actions such as the breaking of a pencil which is small, but significant because it also emphasises the characters emotions.
The dark, shadowy atmosphere in this thriller is contrasted significantly with the bright white, sinister room. The people watching down on to the "experiment" room are in a dark room above with black tinted windows which only looks out one way. This gives the effects that that the dark and evil people are watching down on the innocent people.
The mood is established with the shots of the metal chairs and bolted tables, this gives the sense of no escape. Also, the sounds of foots coming from the heels of smart shoes - ones that a doctor would wear, add to the effect that they are being experimented on.
At some points in the film joyful or happy music is played and sometimes old fashioned lullaby music, this gives an eerie effect because it is out of context.
