4. Shot returns to pan
right from torn
clothing to blood
droplets on
grass/leaves
Camera switches back to person
running through field towards the
camera. The character will flick their
hair towards the camera as they look
behind. This can be seen as an
example of ‘male gaze’ (Laura Mulvey

express sexuality.
