A Mother's Son

This ITV two-part drama has an interesting title sequence, full of suspenseful music, diegetic sound and an array of camera shots.
Everything is dark blue, suggesting either twilight hours or dawn, set on a coastal area. Birds caw ominously and circle, and a crab shot of the pebbles and fast paced feet marching across them, accompanied by ragged breath, all set the scene for something to go wrong.
The camera pulls focus a lot, usually away from the girl in order to put in a credit. High pitched noises alongside the music picking up tempo suggest that things are going wrong for the girl and that things are probably not going to go well for her.
She stumbles through long grasses shown by a crane shot, which slowly pans upwards to show the isolated location which she is in. It is evident that the character is following the typical horror and thriller convention of the character, trying to flee, travels to a place which is going to be totally devastating for them; for instance going up the stairs or another inescapable location.
The camera then pans down a little to show how easily she has disappeared in all the tall grasses, and this further supports the idea of her being totally isolated. She is evidently in pain of some description from the way she clutches at her stomach.
Quickly changing scenes and dramatic music show the terrible predicament she is in and forces us to acknowledge the unfortunate fate of the girl. Crab shots of her stumbling feet, the sound of her gasping breaths and the bright red stain leaking over her school uniform all sum up to a dim future.
The brightness of the girl's blood contrasts hugely to the rest of the sequence, which is all dark blue and faintly lit. This is clearly something which is very important in her story.
The quickly changing shots, from her feet to her face to the back of her head all show how near to the end she is, what with the way that they pick up pace and how the changes are spaced closer together. This creates a sense of panic and confusion, alongside a lot of tension, which is broken smoothly as the girl falls down.
We hear the gurgle in her throat, and then footsteps still moving nearby. This reveals how she is being followed and suggests that the person is the one who has caused her injury.
An extreme close up of her eye reveals the reflection of someone standing above her. This shot makes the girl seem incredibly vulnerable and makes her fate look even more doomed.
She whispers an apology in her dying breath which makes for the show to be interesting - why is she apologising as she dies?
The camera then goes to show a variety of shots of the landscape she is in, further establishing just how alone the girl is.
