Film Clip Task
TWILIGHT
This is a film clip from the first Twilight when Edward saves Bella from being hit my a car little does she know about his hidden power and knowledge as a vampire at this point so she is shocked.
The scene opens with an establishing shot that indicates something significant could occur in this scene. There is then a medium shot of Bella putting her bag on the bonnet of her car and followed by a shot reverse shot between her and Edward, it also changes from a spectators gaze to Edward gazing back this is the gaze of a bystander. It is then follows by Bella showing a black confused look, this is a point of view shot on Edwards behalf.
next there is a medium shot of Bella where you see and hear a car loudly in the background this makes you automatically think something bad is going to happen there is then a close up of the boy driving the car, unable to control it followed by a close up of Bella's face when you see Edward appear and stop the car hitting her. There is a dent in the cars side like it has hit a building however it only came into contact with Edwards hand. This is then followed by another shot reverse shot between the characters where soft less dramatic, slightly romantic music is played this is a contrast to what had previously happened. Edward then jumps over the cars leaving Bella shocked and alone, this is when the camera zooms in on Edward fellow vampire family who show no expression and then cuts back to Bella surrounded by average people that are all confused to what has happened, the camera cuts back to the family again and then ends, this uses an enigma code to make you wonder what will happen in the next scene and to keep you engaged in the film.

Well written and offers a decent enough analysis. You need to consider the shots used in more detail - what information do they give us? Why have they been used over other possible shots? How do they help us understand what is happening?
