Under the skin- Beach scene analysis

cinematography:

• long shot of a happy family to build a more emotional response to the incident. 
• panning shot from the alien onto the sea to show the man present. 
• track in shot when the alien is walking up to the mans body to make audience feel like they are there while its happening. 

 mise-en-scene:

• the alien is wearing clothes that do not fit in the type of environment that she's in, which separates not just emotionally from the people around her.  
• the setting is quiet and peaceful and looks like a place someone would come to relax which shows the stereotype of women (harmless) but just like the alien the nature shows another unexpected side. 

sound:

• waves clashing makes the scene more chaotic and scary. 
• silence of the people drowning because it also presents how nature is overpowering them. 
• strange music plays while alien walks up to the mans body to build up tension and let audience know something wrong is about to happen. 

 performance:

• Scarlett Johansson fits the alien role perfectly because she looks like an innocent pretty women but her actions say otherwise which breaks the stereotypes of women. This makes the scene more emotional for the audience as they expect a helpful reaction but then are shocked when she just watches the incident from a far.
