Shot No:1
Movement: Title fades in
briefly, as not to shock the
viewer but instead ease them
into the quite intro and its
visuals. The title naturally
suggests a thriller because it
seems to state that the place in
which the film is set isnt safe
for older, weaker people.
Dangerous even.
Shot no: 2
Movement: Nothing on the
screen is visible, just blackness
to get the audience anticipating
the films beginning for the few
seconds that the darkness lasts.
Shot No: 3
Type of shot: scenic extreme wide
angle longshot. To show the entire
landscape and introduce the lonely
atmosphere.
Camera/ movement: Very low light, the
land is in the shadow of a canyon with
the sun rising over the edge of the
landscape which is completely obscured
by darkness producing a mysterious
atmosphere which is continued for the
next 7 seconds of the opening.
Shot No: 4
Type of shot: Scenic extreme wide
angle longshot. Shots of this kind are
repetitive for the most part of the
opening to continue their effect.
Camera/ Movement: A very similar
vibe to the previous shot both visually
and audibly. The sun rise at the horizon
and the landscape forming a silhouette.
The dark lighting in this shot makes it
seem mysterious, another thriller
feature.
Shot No: 5
Type of shot: Scenic extreme wide
angle longshot.
Camera: The shots are edited in
chronological order as the sunrises.
In This the sun having risen. This un
rise signifies the beginning of the
story.
Movement: Very little, just the
grass blowing atmospherically
amongst the still landscape. Similar
to all these land scape shots; the
silence and lack of movement or
life creates an ominous and
therefore thrilling atmosphere.
Shot No: 6
Type of shot: Scenic extreme
wide angle longshot: fits the
entire landscape in the frame.
Camera: Fixed to highlight the
movement of the rising sun and
the rays it casts to strengthen
the wilderness atmosphere.
Shot No: 7
Type of shot: Scenic extreme wide
angle longshot.
Camera: Fixed.
Movement: None. The scene is
ominously still and still slightly
shadowed.

Type of shot: Scenic extreme wide
angle longshot, but this time with a
fence in the foreground.

highlight the landscapes minimal
movement.
Movement: Blowing grass, now
the sun is fully in the sky and there
are far less shadows and obscured
land.
Shot No: 9
Type of shot: Scenic extreme wide
angle shot looking up hill.
Camera: Again it is fixed in place, to
highlight the minimal movement of
the landscape.
Movement: The grass blows quite
energetically but the landscape
remains still invoking the bleak yet
slightly ominous, silent mood.

angle longshot, overlooking a
valley.

consistently, all else is motionless.
Shot No: 11
Type of shot: Scenic extreme wide
angle longshot, showing another
landscape.

concentrates on the moving
vegetation, this helps to create the
directors desired atmosphere.
Movement: Desert plants, shrubs
and bushes blowing.
Shot No: 12
Type of shot: Scenic extreme wide
angle longshot. To show the entire
landscape and convey its
emptiness.
Camera: Fixed.
Movement: Very subtle shrub
movement as the wind is dying
down as day time sets in. The lack
of movement as usual depicts the
loneliness and desolation of the
land.
Shot No:12
Type of shot: Narrow Longshot to centralise
the windmill.
Camera: Still to match the landscapes lack
of motion and further highlight the desolate
atmosphere.
Movement: The fan spins quite slowly. Ive
noticed that in each of these shots there is
only one type of motion or none. Be that
vegetation blowing in the wind or a windmill
rotating.
Shot No: 13
Type of shot: wide angle long shot. To
accommodate for both the arrest scene and blend
in with the previous land scape shots.
Shot No: 15
Type of shot: Medium close up, so that the
viewer focuses on the object that the
policeman places on the car seat.
Camera/movement: No Camera movement.
The policeman places a mysterious device
onto the seat, which is later revealed to be
Chiguhrs weapon of choice that the officer
has confiscated. A sadistic and impractical
weapon used to slaughter livestock
efficiently, representing how often Chiguhr
kills people.
