2. C-U
This shot is a close up. This is used
to show Jessica Sarah's daughter
and the birthday she will never
have and the illusion to the
darkness she is in now she is no
longer with us. This shows the
viewer a transition from the
previous car crash.
3. E-C-U
This close up is used to verify the setting
and shows the heart rate monitor. Showing
the viewer they are in a hospital and Sarah
is in a potentially critical state. This is then
re-illiterate by the heart rate monitor
starting to decrease and Sarah starting to
die. This is done to show the passing of the
original Sarah and allow for the
development of her darker and more
depressed self.
4. High angled M-S
This shot is used to show the
vulnerability of Sarah and sets
the setting of the hospital. Also
allows the viewer to overlook her
as if they are a visitor and uses
this to show how weak and
unstable she is.
5. Trombone shot
This is called a trombone shot, this is
because of the zoom and the focus
elongates the hallway. Allowing for the
viewer to see the realization of Sarah
and her situation. And also links to the
darkness that try's to consume her. Also
is an in site to her condition of PTSD.
6. STEDICAM
This shot is used to follow the main
character down the hall way. Trying to
escape her demons and the darkness,
the low lighting and the movement of
the shot allows adds to this effect.
This stedicam shot also allows for the
viewer to see Sarah fighting for her
purity and the green tint allows for
the darkness to become even darker
and pitch black.
7. Arc shot
This shot shows the realization of the
Sarah and is not only done visually but
emotionally, because it is at this point
she realizes that her family is gone and
she is all alone. This shot also shows
that the darkness is not following her
any more because of this realization.
The arc shot also puts Sarah in the
center of the point of view and life
moving on around her.
8. STEDICAM-Out
This shot is used to show the viewer
there is nothing that anyone can do
and the first chapter is over. This is
there to fade out of Sarah's life and
transition to another part into the
future, this is effective because of the
tracking out motion as if the viewer is
slowly walking away and is getting
less and less involved with the shot.
