TRANSCRIPT
• This is a long shot of Dylan O’Brien (the actor who plays Thomas from
‘The Maze Runner’).• His clothes are quite dirty, therefore
expressing that he may not have washing facilities or that he may have
been doing something. Gloves and vest portray that he may have been doing something rather dangerous.
• Title in the background- He is the main focus.
• Dark lighting except on the grass and over him.
• The background is black apart from the grass and the blue writing.

THE MAZE RUNNER – STILL 1

therefore showing that he mustn't have many clothes.

Thomas. • The lighting is quite bright –
outside.• Location is outside and seems as
though they are quite high up due to the trees in the background.

are all blurred along with the other characters’ arm.
THE MAZE RUNNER – STILL 2
• This is a low angle shot of all of the boys crowded around the lift.
• This shot could be used to show that at this point they seem quite
powerful and that we have the point-of-view of someone that
may be looking up towards them.• Thomas is again wearing the
same clothes and all of the other boys seem to be wearing similar,
scruffy clothes.• The lighting behind the boys is
very light, however it is quite dark inside the box/lift.

dirty.• The location is outside in a
wooded area.• The lighting is quite light, however not too light due to the
trees.
