Audience pleasures
personal relationship - we angage with the main character as we discover his character and personality ( he's very clumsy and bad at skying)

Make notes under the following headings:
Technical codes – particularly camerawork and editing
The camera angles make us engage with Martin and the editing shows te tence situation that he's in.
Audio codes – diegetic and non-diegetic sound
The non-diegetic sound (tence music in the background) made the audience sit at the adge of their seats and make them as stress as Martin was.
Diegetic sound - all we could hear were soft sounds of opening the door or the ticking of the clock that were emphesized. It makes the scene seem much more serious and dangerous.
