1. The Descent Analysis

2. In this shot, it
shows a tracking
shot of a girl
behind a cake,
which goes from
out of focus, and
into focus straight
away.

3. • These next few
shots are known as
the Static shots. As
the young girl
blows out the
candles on the
cake, the camera
goes to a darker
shot

4. This shot is a wide shot that
shows exactly where Sarah
is. This shot goes from a
wide shot to a close up to
show this shot is focused on
Sarah and the heart
monitor, and this is because
Sarah is recovering from her
injury

5. This shot goes from an close
up to a wide shot as Sarah
has awaken from her sleep
from her injury and looks
very confused. The reason
this shot changes into a
wide shot, because in this
part of the film she runs
down the corridor and a
close up of this wouldn’t be
able to work as well as a
close up.

6. This shot of Sarah is a
trombone shot, and
this type of shot is
where the camera
zooms in with a
dramatic affect. These
type shots of will
appear when
someone is shocked
or confused.

7. This is a steady camera
which shows
expression on Sarah’s
face while keeping the
background out of
focus. There are tracks
set up which follow
Sarah while she is
running but the reason
for this shot, is
because Sarah knows
that the dark is
following her.

8. This is a wide shot POV
steady cam, which let’s
us feel the effect and see
what’s going on. They
have a 360 Track around,
so they’re able to create
a nice panning shot.

9. This is known as a close up Steady
cam, which is in focus of Judos face
to show us her expression and her
emotions. This is effective, because,
as this part of the film is focused on
her, and how she’s feeling, steady
cam is known to be the most
effective for this particular shot.
The other is a Wide Back Track shot
to show everyone around her, and
what’s going on. This is very
effective, because it show’s us what
everyone is doing in this scene, and
how everyone is feeling.
