- The first shot is an establishing shot/ extreme long shot of bats. They fill the whole screen which shows how many of them there are. They make the audience question whether theyre good or bad.
- Panning shot of the child running- fast paced, builds tension- we know something is going to happen and feat for the child
- Worms eye view shot as boy falls down the hole- we realise how far he's fallen and worry about him.
- Close up of man's face as he wakes up- shows his shocked expression and makes us realise that what we just saw was a traumatic experience that he'd had in the past.
Mise en Scene-
- Picturesque garden setting- doesnt fit with fast paced music- feels threatening
- As he falls the setting becomes dark and damp- huge contrast from the setting moments before
- At the beginning of the scene the children both have happy facial expressions and are having fun. When we suddenly see the boy screaming and crying it's a big shock
Sound-
- Really loud diegetic sound as soon as the film opens- bat noises- shocks audience
- Dialogue- the child's voice has a slight echo to it which could symbolise a flash back.
- The music is fast paced and deep which builds tension as it doesn't fit with what's happening on screen, Contrapuntal sound.
- Booming sound as boy falls down the hole makes the audience jump- shocks you
- Echoing sound of children talking as man wakes up- we realise that what just happened was a nightmare or a flashback.
Editing-
- Wipe is used to link the scene with the bats into the garden scene. It's more interesting to watch than a plain cut and also shows that the two scenes are linked.
- The rest of the transitions are standard cuts so to not disturb the action
The transition between the Bats and the Leaves^
