The last house on the left

Camera shots

A tracking shot shows that the setting of the movie is in a dark woods which is a typical place for a horror movie to take place. It is dark and unpopulated which are key aspects of horrors.

A cutaway shot shows a picture of two young girls. Horror movies usually have females as the lead characters because of their vulnerability and the low key lighting around the picture suggests that one of these 2 girls will be the victim in the movie.

A close up shot shows a man sat in the back of a car, but the low key lighting hides what he truly looks like. This suggests that he could be the suspect of the movie, and his silence makes him seem mysterious backing up this suggestion.

Medium close up shows man in a suit suggesting he is in a superior position e.g. a police man. The smile on his face suggests nothing dangerous has happened up until this point, but the darkness may mean something is about to happen as something always happens at night in horror movies.

Over shoulder shot shows a cage which confirms they are in a police car. The fact that the man is looking over his shoulder shows there is a criminal in the back, and this automatically creates tension as we know something is going to happen.

Long shot shows car coming to a stop at the railway. The fact that the setting is derelict and dark creates tension as this is a typical point in a horror movie that something would happen. We also know this because of the minor non diegetic music being played at the same time.

Cutaway shot shows the light has turned to red. This colour is usually associated with danger or blood, which are key aspects of horror movies.

Car crash shows the beginning of when the drama is starting to happen. This automatically introduces adrenaline into the audience as we can tell something bad is about to happen because of the prisoner being in the car.

Close up shot shows criminal stepping out the car. This shows that the bad character is escaping and so this is when the drama starts.
