The scene starts off by showing a dark car in the foreground and a brightly lit diner in the background. There is a low key lighting (foreground) and a high key lighting (background) combo, this contrast suggests that inside the diner it is safe and calm whereas it is mysterious and dangerous outside. Furthermore it is raining heavily which sets a foreboding tone and also it could be the use of pathetic fallacy suggesting a characters emotion. This helps me to understand what is going to happen and it will allow me to understand how a certain character might be feeling. Moving on, a long shot is shown to the audience and the camera slowly tracks in on the lonesome character signifying his role in the scene. This is followed by a mid shot with a shallow depth of field, he is the main focus in the shot which tells me that I should focus my attention on the character and not anywhere else. In addition the camera very slowly tracks in on the character which further backs up his importance in the shot. The rain and thunder can still be heard even if we are inside the diner which carries that foreboding tone. Up next is a long shot showing me and the viewers that he is at the diner alone which suggest to the viewers that he might be lonely and might not have many friends. Also a soundbridge is used, I can hear a police radio however, the shot is still in the diner and this tells me that there is going to be a jump cut to a place where a police radio can be heard. Afterwards a mid long shot is used to show the character getting into his car and the camera tracks out to reveal that he is getting into the dark car that was shown in the beginning of the scene. Also now we see the character leave the high key lighting setting and move to the low key lighting setting which suggests to the demographic that something bad may happen. This is then followed up by a close up which shows us the characters facial expression which is quite serious in the shot and it creates a serious atmosphere. Also it is followed by a extreme close up showing us the side of his face in low key lighting which makes him look like a silhouette. Additionally the diegetic sound of rain and thunder has become louder which makes me feel suspicious and it makes the scene just a little bit more intense.
The next shot is an over the shoulder with the trees in focus and the shallow depth of field changes and the focus changes from the background to the foreground revealing the man sitting inside the car, this adds a mysterious and suspicious tone as the demographic cannot see the man’s face this is also backed up by the low key lighting. The non diegetic high pitch sound in the background makes me feel like as if something bad is going to happen as it sounds like a ringing in my ears that tends to occur when one is concussed creating an ominous atmosphere. The scene then shows a car leaving a petrol station however there are no other cars that can be seen in the shot which makes it seem more mysterious to me as I cannot see any other life forms in the shot making me wonder where all the other people are. Also the lighting in the petrol station is very bright but the area around it is completely pitch black and we cannot see a thing, as I see the car driving towards the camera (away from the brightly lit petrol station), it seems to me as if the character is driving into the darkness. The car stops right in front of the camera making it a close mid shot allowing the
viewers to see the characters facial expression which is quite serious adding a bit of intensity to the scene. This is followed by an over the shoulder shot, focusing on what the character is looking at which is a caravan parked by itself with its headlights on and this adds mystery, as to who or what is inside the caravan. A close mid shot is used again and we can hear the police radio and the character responds and gets out of the car and as he does the camera moves diagonally upwards to the right to stay on the character at eye level. It cuts to a long shot showing the character closing the door and police cars that have arrived. The police cars indicate that danger is looming and they have to stop it. This sets an ominous tone and dark atmosphere making me feel uneasy. After a close mid shot was used to show the characters facial expression which shows us that he is intrigued by what the caravan withholds. Then it goes back the long shot which slowly tracks in showing the character and some police officers walking towards the caravan and as this happens the music starts to grow louder and it makes the scene intense. The next shot is a mid long shot and the character slowly walks towards the camera making it a mid shot and we can still see the intrigued look on his face. It then parallel cuts to the guy in the caravan and in the shot low key lighting is used and we can only see a silhouette of the back of his head, this creates mystery as to who the guy is and what he is doing. The tense music grows loud at this point which suggests that the guy is evil linked to it. We are then shown a point of view shot as we can see what the guy in the caravan is looking at and in this case he is looking at his side view mirror in which he can see the main character waking towards his caravan. Then it goes back to the shot of the guy and we see his head move to the side and again a point of view shot is used but this time it is of the other mirror but only bright lights can be seen. This builds tension and suspense as the guy does not have much time until they catch him.
