The Descent shots 
By Chloe Potter
Tracking Shot. 
• The first shot you see is a Tracking. This shot is 
a starting of what’s about to happen. It starts 
with a wide shot then moves into a close up. It 
shows Jessie’s, Sarah’s daughter, birthday 
cake. It does this because Jessie never got to 
have her next birthday and this is Sarah 
dreaming about it.
CU (Close Up) 
• The second shot is a close up. It is a high angle 
shot to suggest weakness from the accident. It 
is when you see Sarah in the hospital bed and 
she has just woke up for the first time since 
the accident.
MS (Mid Shot) 
• The next shot is a Mid Shot. It is also a high 
shot this shows that she is even more weak 
than the last shot because in this one you can 
see more of where she is. It shows Sarah 
laying in bed looking confused about what 
happened after they left the lake.
MS (Mid Shot) 
• This shot is the same as the last. A Mid Shot. 
In this shot you see Sarah sitting up in the 
hospital bed still looking confused about what 
is happening. She is freaking out and 
unplugging herself from all the hospital 
equipment.
CA (Cutaway) 
• This shit is a cutaway shot. It is showing the 
heart monitor showing the straight line that 
means she is dead. This could mean to make 
the audience question whether she is dead or 
not.
MS (Mid Shot) 
• This shot is a Mid Shot. This shows Sarah 
standing outside of her room looking around 
to find someone who can help her.
WS (Wide Shot) 
• This shot is a Wide Shot. This shot shows that 
there is in fact no one in the hospital when 
normally it would be full of people. This shows 
that it could be a dream.
Trombone Shot. 
• This is a Trombone shot. A trombone shot is 
when the camera man is quite far away and is 
zoomed into the subject then starts to walk 
closer to it while zooming out. This shot shows 
that Sarah has saw something that has 
frightened her and she is contemplating what 
to do.
Steadicam Shot 
• This is a Steadicam Shot. This shot shows that 
Sarah is running away from something that is 
scaring her and it shows that the background 
lights are turning off as if to close in on her.
Steadicam Shot 
• This is another Steadicam Shot. This Shot 
shows that there is something in the darkness 
trying to get to her.
WS (Wide Shot) 
• This is a Wide Shot. It shows that she has 
suddenly ran into the light into her friends, 
Beth, arms. This could mean that she was 
imagining what was going on.
Hand Held Camera shot. 
• This is a hand held camera shot. This means 
that the camera moves around the characters 
to show what’s going on.
CU (Close Up) 
• This shot is a Close Up. This shows that Juno, 
Sarah’s and Beth’s friend, is upset too. Then 
the whole scene ends.
