The Killing episode 1 ending analysis.

Significant mise-en-scene
-deserted street at night, pathetic fallacy sets the tone of the scene
- juxtaposition between well lit home to dim lit outside, conveys a sense of safety inside, yet the opposite for outside to hint at Nannas death.
-the car is a significant prop as it links to the politicians character suggesting his involvement with her death.
- the foot is significant as it does not show how she was killed only gives clues, you do not see her body for a reason. Th cause of death is unknown.
Sound
Diegetic
-Sound of the water falling from the car
-Phone call conversation between Thies and Permille.
-argument between Thies and policemen
-Meyer revealing the body is Nanna.
-footsteps
Non-diegetic
-music starts slow, low pitch and suspenseful to establish the scene
-when Thies and Permille discover Nanna’s body is found the music changes to high pitch to signify sadness.

Significant camera shots
-There establishing shot of the car being pulled out the water sets the scene for the discovery of the body.
-close-up shots of Thies and Permille, as the camera cuts to either side of their phone all to get there reactions are the scene unfolds.
-close-up shot of the car boot opening is effective as it reveals a foot instead of nanas body, yet the audience can still identify it’s her.

Minecraft Audience notes

 Audience under Mojang: -Prior to Minecrafts official release, Mojang targeted a niche market of programmers and modders.  -With being produded by a small company, there was no revenue for adverstising, therefore Minecraft relied on word of mouth to circulate the game. - However Minecraft still managed to reach a fairly large audience with 16 million registered users and 4 million purchases before release in November 2011.
