1) The document discusses several shots from a film that provide insights into the characters and plot. 2) One shot shows the reflection of a character in broken glass, representing his broken mental state as he questions his identity and sexuality. 3) Another shot shows the character walking confidently down the middle of the street to draw the viewers' attention, as the music builds tension for what will happen next. 4) The final shot is from the perspective of someone being destroyed by the character in a fit of rage, breaking the fourth wall and showing his sudden insanity directed at the audience.

2. Thisis the final shotof the film, andthe POV shot
(fromthe guy inthe ring gettingdestroyedbya
crazedConor) puts the audience directlyinthe
seatof Conor’ssuddeninsanity.Thisbreaksthe

Conor’srage.
Personally,Idon’tthinkthisshotisa mistake
