2. Establishing shot, car driving through rural area. Cuts from last
scene from river and jumps through time to more important
part of the story (3 seconds)
7. Cut to husband focusing on road, his reluctance to join
the conversation signifies he has something pressing on
his mind (4 seconds)
8. MS, Sarah and her daughter are engaging whilst Paul
feels unable to join in because he is thinking about
Juno (6 seconds)
9. MS, brief encounter between Paul and Sarah displays
tension. Very clear to the audience that something is
going on (4 second)
10. • Opening half of this sense is edited at a very
slow pace lulling the audience into a false
sense of security. It makes the scene feel
serene, calm and natural. Like nothing could
go wrong. It makes the second half of the
scene even more shocking
11. Car smashes into each other. Extremely fast cut changes
editing styling, action is instantly demonstrated by this
(Fraction of second)
12. Poles fly through the air towards the car. Very short cut.
Establishes a quicker editing pace that gives audience a
lot of confusing information (Fraction of a second)
13. Another swift cut. We don’t actually see the poles
enter Paul to show this film isn't explicitly gory but has
no problem killing any character early on (Fraction of a
second)
14. Quick brutal cut of Paul’s death. Does not show anything
graphic. Very little of this scene shows what's actually
happening to the characters but it is shot in such a way
that the audience fills in the blanks (Fraction of a second)
15. Establishing shot of the aftermath of the crash. Editing pace is reduced to
even slower than at the start of the scene. The slowness signifies that the
action is complete and what has just taken place cannot be solved,
changed or fixed. What's done is done. Slow zoomed out from a crane and
fade to black show the narrative is leaving this scene (20 seconds)
16. This second half of the scene has a immensely
quicker editing pace to shock the audience with the
contrast in pace. The faster pace disorientates the
audience because they can not fully take in
everything that is going on in every shot. This also
makes it easier to create the scene for the movie
makers because it does not have to look visually
perfect because is only flashed on the screen very
quickly e.g. There is a shot where a pole is sticking
out of the back of Paul's chair but not the front.
17. CGI – Computer generated images
The poles that fly through the air are probably real in this cut
flying into the car with nobody in there for health & safety
reasons.
These poles are most likely CGI’d in as it is impractical to
have the real poles fly into an actor. They probably cut the
chairs and Paul from another shot and imposed them into a
shot of the poles flying through the car
This is most likely a pole flying through the back of the
headrest bursting a blood pack and flinging a fake tuft of
hair over the top of the seat
18. • Regular cuts are used for the majority of the
scene but the very last shot fades to black
signifying the scene has come to an end.
Everything that just happened is over but it
also leaves the audience unsure as to how
many people in the car had been
killed/injured.
19. • The scene starts so calmly with a very slow
editing pace and establishes that Sarah has a
close bond with her daughter. There is a
warmness to scene as it is just a nice family
conversation. The family tranquility is
snatched away as the swift pace quick's in
very little can be clearly distinguished and the
audience have to fill in some of the blanks
themselves. The great contrast is highly
distressing to the audience.
