2. This is a wide shot of the car driving away showing they are leaving one place
and going to another.
3. This is a shot taken over Beths shoulder while she is talking to her
daughter calmly in the car on the way back from white water rafting.
4. This view is a CU of Beth from a POV from her daughter still talking and also because
the background is out of focus this could try and convince views nothing is going to
happen however you can see Paul looking in the rear view mirror checking them
rather than the road.
5. This is a CU of Paul driving showing that he is concerned by his facial features and that
he is thinking deeply about something and shows distance between him and the
family. At this point the scene is still slow paced lasting for about six seconds.
6. This is a MS where you can see everyone in the car and Beth still not watching
where they are going or what Paul is doing. This shot still maintains the slow
pace lasting eight seconds.
7. This is another POV from the child's point of view of Paul and Beth talking
where Beth has seen that Paul is concerned and something isn't normal. This
is still at a slow pace leading up to when you see the van on the other side.
8. This is when you know that they are going to collide and something is going to
go wrong because its from the child's POV and that this is the first time that
Paul isn't either fully or semi concentrating on the road.
9. Editing pace
So far the scene has established that its been a
fun normal day out and that the bond between
Beth and her daughter is very strong, this is a big
contrast to Beth and Paul and Paul and his
daughter because he doesn't’t seem to have a
connection with them at all. This throws views
off so they don’t expect anything major to
happen so when the accident then happens
they are caught out when this calm normality is
snatched away.
10. This is the view on the point of impact and this shot lasts less than a second
and this is when Neil marshal turns the tempo up and turns the scene from a
calm car journey into a horrific accident.
11. Straight after you see the shot of the impact it cuts to the poles flying off the
top of the van towards the windscreen again to raise the pace of the scene
this shot lasts for less than a second.
12. After the poles are dislodged and flying towards the wind screen it cuts to this
scene where the poles smash through the wind screen. This is a a sunt and
isn't a effect.
13. This is the shot after the poles fly through the windscreen however this is a SGI shot
because poles one and two are fake and have been added after however pole three is
real and has been stuck onto the back of the chair even though the poles haven't
impacted Paul yet it appears that it has already gone through him.
14. This is a CU from behind the head rest after the poles have impacted and you see all
the the blood and gore fly through the back of the head rest. This is a real pole that
has been smashed through a head rest and not special effects. This shot ends the
action so this shot lasts for about one second and brings us back to the slower pace.
15. This is a crane shot and slowly brings us out of the chaos and we see what has
happened properly for the first time and lets us take in the accident. This shot lasts for
sixteen seconds and goes back to the slow pace from the start to create the shock of
the crash.
16. This is at the end of the crane shot when it is fully zoomed out and you see
the puddle of blood at the back passenger side door to show the child died
and to increase the gore and the impact of the shot.
17. Transitions
At the start of the scene it’s a fade from black to
the car driving away showing they are moving
away from one place to another. Also at the end
of the scene after the cash it fades into black so
we know we are moving on to another place
and scene and wont see these cars again.
18. Editing Pace
The pace changes hugely in the second half of the
scene when the accident happens because there
are about five shots in as many seconds which
creates panic , fear and confusion. Then at the end
of the accident it reestablishes the slow pace so the
audience can comprehend what the scale of the
accident is and see to what extent the characters
are injured and by the pole going through Paul's
face and the blood that has come from the
passengers back door both are dead however we
are leaf wondering if Beth is still alive.
