2. jumpcuts
• Jump cuts are used in this scene, focusing mainly on the characters faces; we see the different facial expressions in which
they portray. The jump cut is used in this scene to compare the characters expressions. We can see that the first character
with the scar on his face is looking directly at the other male character; we can see that he is comfortable when speaking to
him; his ‘disability’ does not remove his confidence. On the other hand the other male character is very dismissive towards
the character with the scar on his face; we can see he is uncomfortable in this particular situation. This may be because he
doesn’t want to come across as “rude” for starring at the scar which was not their previously and he may feel sympathy for
the character, however does not want to show that as he fears he will come across as patronising.
3. Cutting rate
shot • A cutting rate shot is used to interrupt the first screenshot where we can see that the 3 men are
talking. The shot is then cut to a shot where we are only presented with half of the main male
characters face which has been scarred. This emphasises the shock of his facial disfigurements and
therefore represents him by other characters reaction and the surprise of the situation as being
someone to be feared. It shows people avoiding the man’s gaze, they look sheepish and this cutting
method intensifies the situation further.
4. Motivated and
reaction cuts • These cuts have been used as the audience want to see the reactions and facial expressions of the
different characters because of the general topic of conversation and the rising tension that is included in
the scene. When the disfigured man is talking we are unable to see the others men's faces however this
soon changes and gives the audience more knowledge about what is occurring within the atmosphere
