SCENE ANALYSIS By Emily Beards

• This is a long shot of the back of the car on the drive home also making the audience feel like that something is going to happen in this scene.

• It is also a wide shot showing the surrounds of the forest and its set in the middle of trees to make us feel isolated with trees all through the film.

Car Crash Scene

• This is a mid shot of the family in the car and showing the daughter in the middle of them.

• Just before this shot Sarah was talking to her daughter about her birthday party which then doesn’t happen after all.

• Sarah then turns round to notice that her husband is quiet and distant.

• This is a mid shot of Sarah and her husband in the car but a long shot of the car approaching.

• After Sarah asks him the question he then takes his eyes off the road not noticing the car in the distance.

• This is still a mid shot of Sarah and her husband in the car but the car is closer, from the last shot there faces haven’t moved and it looked like he was going to tell her about his affair with Juno.

• This shot gives the audience a build up knowing what is going to happen because Sarah and her husbands faces are fixing on each others.

• This shot first starts out as a wide shot then going into a high angle, look down view.

• You can also see the steam coming from the van and the polls that went straight through the car seeing how much damage that the crash has made.

• The van drivers face is not seen as it looks like the window on door at the side is blacked out so the audience don’t see who it is as its not relevant.

Blood on the Wall Scene

• This is a long shot showing Sarah looking around the cave and also displaying the background inside the cave.

• In this shot the light is mainly set on Sarah and around where she is standing whereas on the right side the cave is blacked out.

• This is an over the shoulder shot showing Sarah looking at the blood that she notices on the wall.

• The light on her torch is purposely shining on the blood on the wall so the audience can see what she is looking at.

• This is still an over the shoulder shot of Sarah but now placing her hand on the wall to see that that blood is in the same shape as human fingers.

• The lighting is still set on her hand on the blood. • This shows that what's going to happen further on in the film when they

see the monsters and blood and bones.

• This is also the same shot but now Sarah realises that it’s the shape of fingers of a human and takes her hand straight off the wall.

• Throughout the film Sarah was the only one that noticed signs of danger in the cave and the cave didn’t look or sound safe.

• From then it goes straight into a long shot of Sarah when she just forgets about the finger prints on the wall and starts to look about some more.

• After she walked away she didn’t tell the other girls about the finger prints of blood on the wall so they dicided to go ahead.

Freedom Out The Cave Scene

• This is a close up shot of Sarah lying on the floor after falling down a hole.

• While she is lying on the floor the shot does from dark to lighter, with a light shining over her head to show daylight.

• This is still a close up shot of Sarah when she looks up to the light shining down on her.

• The close up shows that her facial expression looks shocked as she looks up to the light and this fight for freedom is over.

• The lighting is natural daylight and is shined directly on her face to show all the blood on her face and her hair.

• This is a low angle angle mid shot of Sarah trying to run up to the hole.• As soon as Sarah sees the daylight she starts to climb up the pile of

bones with all the strength she has got left.• All the audience see is the natural light shining down on her and the back

of her body trying to climb up to the hole

• This a long shot of Sarah climbing up to the daylight, the way the camera is placed makes a nice effect of Sarah trying to climb what looks a staircase of bones.

• It also blacks out everything accept her and the bones that are shown by the daylight.

• This is a mid shot of Sarah's hand that reaches up out the cave into daylight showing her hand and it sticking the outside of the cave.

• This is a really dramatic moment in the film cause it convinces the audience that tank god she is finally out until further on in the movie, but in real life you wouldn’t be that dramatic, you would just want to get out quickly.

• The lighting is mainly directed and shining down on her hand so that is the only thing the audience notice.
