Let Me In Analysis

Today, some students, myself and the teacher went up to the Odeon up in Covent Gardens to watch a film 'Let Me In' which had a storyline of a little boy named Owen, how became friends very quickly with a girl called Abby who had moved in next door, however she wasn't the ordinary girl he thought she was as she had an evil spirit or a type of vampire that lived on blood.
How do the film makers use the camera to tell the story?
They tell the story by using a variety of shots, they ranged from POV, Long shot, Mediums shot and more. These told the story by informing the audience when a scary, intense or normal event was going to take place.
Is the camera used objectively or subjectively? is POV used and if so, how, when and why?
The camera was used both objectively as it showed us the scene without getting involved. This is used when we see the little girl sitting in an underground passage where she creates a conversation with a person who is walking by, she then asks him to carry her as she had hurt herself. Once he has picked her up she then attacked him to drink his blood. We can tell this is objective as we get the feeling that we are witnessing what is going on. 
As well as subjectively as we feel more part of what is going on, this is shown when the police man enters into the girls apartment and realises something suspicious is taking place. He finds a note on the floor revealing the girls where abouts. He then goes to the bathroom where she is and takes part of the cover off from the window to let light into the room, this wakes the girl up as she feel the slight burning sensation no her leg. This brings out her evil side where she then attacks him to drink his blood. We see this as subjective because we are watching from the little boys point of view. 
Point of view is used in the opening scene which takes place in a hospital as a police officer goes to visit a man who is severely burnt by acid which a deformed his facial features. When a policeman speaks to this other man we see that the shots blur in and out of focus, this could have been used to show how badly damaged the mans sight is as he is unable to view people clearly.
How does Mise-En-Scene reflect the themes, genre and ideology of the film?
It reflects themes by showing the girl is an approachable character but not at the same time due to her clothing that she wears. It reflects genre as we don't expect it to be a scary horror film or not to be as scary as it looks like a normal setting which leads us to think that it could just be an ordinary film. The ideology   
In the opening sequence, what codes are embedded into the titles and opening shots/scenes which signify the genre of the movie? How do these reflect or subvert the conventions of the genre?
The codes that are embedded which sets the genre are the eery music which was dramatic, the simple titles in black writing against a clear white background and then it quickly shows us a black background which slows fades in each part of the title 'Let Me In' which was coloured in a deep red colour which could represent blood will be in the film. 
Think about the use of sound. How is sound used develop narrative? How does sound add to or even substitute for image in the movie?
Throughout the film there was many diegetic sounds that were used from police sirens, talking, back ground music and very intense music. they help to create narrative as they all have a meaning in the film, it lets us know when different types of scene will happen. for example the intense music, this told us when the girl may strike her next victim toward the middle and ending of the film. It makes the film more interesting to watch due to making it more interesting, also by adding the different sounds through the film it keeps us watching to see what will happen next. For example again with the intense music when Abby was going to drink someones blood.
In what way does the film seek to appeal to a specific target audience?
I think that this film was aimed at teenagers of around 15 - 20 years of age, this is because it it more based on the children more then focusing on the adults that are in the film. As of this the teenagers are more near to the age of the children that appear in the film where they can relate to them a bit more.
