Car crash scene decent

1. Brandon Wood

2. Editing pace – beginning.
The sequence leading up to the crash is very slow – moving and is a very calm setting with a normal conversation between Sarah,
Annabel and Paul. It is set like this in order to make us feel relaxed, safe and unaware of what is about to happen.
In this scene the camera cuts back and forth between all three characters this shows you that all three characters are a big part of
this scene and play an important part the camera switches depending on who is speaking or being spoken to.
At the end of the conversation scene the camera changes to another angle which is an over the shoulder view of the van this
shows you the van approaching. The car starts to veer to the right towards the oncoming vehicle you immediately get the idea hat
something is about to go wrong this increases are heart rate and makes us feel uneasy.

3. The Conversation
From a slow moving and calm setting were they was talking. To the peace of the entire chapter changing to fast pace there
are also a range of fast camera changing views as you see the shocking heart racing scene as Paul gets a rod impale
through his face. Again during this scene there are a variety of camera cuts that are only a second or two long each used to
keep us, the audience, in horror as we first see the crash itself, and then the metallic poles that fly off the roof of the van
towards the driver seat where Paul is currently sitting.
Within seconds of this shocking scene three major cut occurs that gives us the largest shock effect of this scene as we first
watch the metal pole shoots straight through the window. The camera then cuts to the shoulder view of Paul as you see the
pole flying towards his face the last camera scene shot three is when the camera cuts to the back of the chair as you see the
pole impale the chair and Paul's face and you see the gush of blood that gushes out of the back of Paul's head.
The crash scene as a whole is horrifying and shocking but the three cut scenes divinity have a huge impact on the people
watching the film mainly due to the thought of having a metal pole impale your face makes our imagination increase the true
horrifying effects of this scene as Paul's impalement, the camera cuts again almost instantly to reveal that an area shot by of
the crash scene and we see a second pole that went straight though the middle of the window inexactly the position of where
Annabel was sitting this makes people wonder is she's ok? This is to be revealed in the next scene when Sarah wakes up this
keeps people wondering and keeps them watching to see if Annabel is still alive.

4. Editing CGI – Crash
For the film the Decent a fair amount of CGI was used the main area that it was used in was the
car crash at the start of the film the first sign of the CGI being used where the metal polls that fly
off of the van and fly through the car window piercing the mans head and this can be seen you
can tell that this is CGI and was made using computer software as it would be impossible to
actually pierce the mans face with the polls. The use of blood and the poll piercing the chair are
also CGI the blood and editing would all have been edited in post production.

5. Editing Transaction
During the crash scene a Transaction is used and that specific transaction is fade to black
this is used at the end of the crash after all of the damage has been shown this is done at
the end to allow the viewer to keep guessing who’s dead and who’s alive.
