Activity 1• In this scene Angel arrives in the village. We first see the

villains reaction to the protagonist making his way to the village. We see close ups of their faces as they are in disbelief, as they see Angel. The editing gets faster as we see close ups of Angel, the villains and his friend all linked through straight cuts. As the music gets tense, so does the editing. And it all comes together as Angel says “Morning” which begins the very western action scene.

Activity 2• The different shots that are taken that show the

villagers are all composed in different matters. The way each shot is different is shown through the way the camera goes closer to them to show there reactions. They are also different by how the camera is still and shows the emotions, that the villagers are expressive. Whether this is a medium shot or a close up.
