increased the pass and has become louder. The car is in a very dark place at the moment.
This them moves back to the establishing shot moving towards the mountain at a faster pace then before to correlate with the pace of the music. The
shot is also closer then where it started before.
This then moves again to the car using close ups, tracking shots and pan shots. Because the previous shots have been moving closer to the mountain and
the car in a dark place this suggest the car is in a tunnel in the mountain.

gun.

something's going to happen in the next sequence.
The next shots are the same close ups of the car but of the man accelerating out of the tunnel. The music has shopped to show the loud noise from the
engine.
After a couple of close ups shots, medium shots and master shots the viewer establishes that the man being chased in the main character.
