As Thriller- Helena

The music at the beginning of the video made us know, that it is going to be Thriller, not comedy or action. I really liked the car, which was well selected for the tall and slim lady named Helena. I didn’t like how she got out from the car. When she put her first foot out, it kind of slipped on the door. She didn’t go out from the car so smoothly, it showed unprofessionalism of the video makers who didn’t see this moment. The main character is quit defiantly, because of her fashion cloths. It was obviously morning, the clock showed 11:15, as I think it would be better if she came back home in the evening or night, it would be more scary. They used zoom shoot on her palm when she was opening the fridge to show the ring, which meant that she is married. The drawing on the wall showed that she has children, but going from light area to dark( from the fridge to the outside door) showed her dark thoughts about her family. I didnt like how she was dailing the numbers on the phone, first it was not so fast and after it began to get faster, which seemed quit unrealistic, it seemed like it was the sound from background. When she finished talking on the phone, the operator began to video from the back of the house, showing that someone is monitoring, watching her. It was quit strange that she came into the bathroom with her high heels, i didnt get this moment why she came with her shoes on into the bathroom and why there was a zoom shoot on how she is taking her shoes off. The moment when they showed us the picture with her husband was the last mention of her family. The shadow that went throught the picture and the door slam showed  that someone is in the house, who shoudnt be. Also the sudden call from her husband who told that he is not still at home made this scene more scary. I liked the moment at the begining when the door was open and the moment at the end when the door was open too, it meant that it werent the children that didnt close the door, maybe there was someone already  in the house from the begining before she came at first. Also the music effect changed into more tentional  showing that someone is in the house and something horrible is going to happen.
