The Descent analysis clip 2By Anthony Palmer

Shot 1

In the first side have our first transition a cut with shows us the family car which the main character , her husband and child because they just came from the woods this scene lasts for 4 seconds

Shot 2

This is an 4 second scene which pans to an over shoulder shot where we see Sarah talking to her daughter this is showing us everything okay

Shot 3/shot4

Here we have 2 shots the first one is 5 seconds then the other under 1 second in the first shot we have a point of view shot from Sarah’s daughter then it cuts to an over shoulder shot this scene is a nice one showing Sarah's daughters happy and this scene is telling all nothing bad can actually in other words happy families the shot reverse shot tells us that she's close to her daughter

Shot 5

This 7 second shot implies us that Sarah’s husband is daydreaming or thinking about something what's on his mind or wants to tell her something. His feelings are showed very easily though this close up shot He even has that face of guilt like his done something wrong

Shot 6

This medium close up 4 second shot implies that the husband is feeling distant from his daughter and wife we can effortlessly tell by his facial expressions because while his wife's happy with the daughter he doesn't feel the same.

Shot 7

In this 10 second scene Sarah's starts questioning her husband asking why his being moody this medium close up is a very good shot as we will always pay attention to the two characters but will always have eyes on the road too

Shot 8

In this 2 second medium close up we see that terror has occurred because the husband has not paid attention to the road and this crash has happened and we all possibly think this is the end of the whole family

Shot 9

This scene lasts for a fraction of a second This shows us that the pole what goes into the window screen is real but at the same time its digitally manipulated too we all know that the husband is in this seat so we know his going to possibly die

Shot 10

This scene lasts for a fraction of a second and we know that the husbands going to die because the poles gone straight into him we can tell that the poles are now CGI (computer generated image)because we can see the change in the color of the pipe and we can see the other pipe heading for his daughter

Shot 11

Here is a terrible scene what I find quite rushed because the husband we know who died but he don’t have blonde hair and also the girl who doesn't have blonde hair either but then in the last frame no pole was headed in Sarah's direction even though this scene lasted for a fraction of a second the close up shot shows the gory side and the horror what has happened and tells the viewer they are all could be dead

Shot 12

In this scene the clip becomes a more slow editing pace because we now know what has happened in this fatal car accident because this crane shot lasts for 20 seconds it adds an more sad effect to the viewer because as it has a transition to a black screen we know that’s the end of the family because In the fast pace scene its all close ups and the last one allows us to sum up what has happened

CGI(Computer generated image)

(CGI) is mostly used in scenes where the movie cant do an certain thing to display something like someone getting stabbed but however it played a big part in this scene because the director couldn't make real pipes fly into the actors body but that’s where (CGI) comes in handy we can tell its (CGI) because the color of the rods has a lighter color and another point is that before that scene it only shows one pipe entering the car but suddenly it shows that the pipes have just expanded

Real pipe

(CGI)Computer generated image

Editing/summary

Editing is vital because in the first scene its shows us the secureness of the family and has that slow pace but then the the last scene its still slow telling us everything okay even though everyones dead but however editing comes in different forms because the editor can just change up the pace of the event to build a great deal of suspense and can cover up the main problem in that scene for example in on part their was blood on the back of the husbands seat but no pole went though his chest but by the fast pace it took that mistake away by fast close ups

The effect of editing is that you can speed it up and slow it down and if the director knows that scene has an mistake he can speed up the process of that scene so we can really spot the mistake made or even can display someone's mood by making the pace slow
