The Descent 2005- Horror Movie

The Descent 'Face Your Deepest Fear'
The Descent is a well known horror that has made a lot of money and due to this the part 2 has been released in 2009.
The editing is shown in this movie are mainly fast paste. In the opening scene when the family of three leave their friends we do not see them sitting in the are ready to drive, the audience see the family waving bye to their friends then on the road. This is because the viewers are aware in that space of time they will be walking into the car ready to drive back to the hotel.
We get to hear the car brakes screech, we don't see how the cars comes in the direction of the family car. Afterwards we see the front of the cars smash together and then action taking place is a quick clip when the mental objects smash into the glass and kills child and the father. The audience doesn't see how they get killed, but we see the metal objects enter the car and after when there is blood on it.
Everyone is dressed really warm, such as coat showing that it is cold outside maybe in the winter the film was filmed.
Characters
At the opening scene we are shown a group of friends that seem really close, because one of them say 'I meet you back at the hotel' as if they are on holiday. One of the girls has more responsibilities because she has a family, a husband and a small little girl.
The husband through the scene seemed as if he had something on his mind, he was in deep thought about something.
All the women are mature adults likely to be in there late 30s.
Sound
You can hear the river and the girls screaming, shouting and talking this is called diegetic sound.
The audience hear non-diegetic music; this is when the boat is moving.
Camera Angles and Movement
The opening of the scene is shot as an Establishing Shot showing the area, it is a far place where rivers and mountains are seen.
They do not use the technique zoom when changing the camera angles the editing is done really quickly.
When we see the man and the little girl it is shown from a medium long shot showing where they are standing and moves quickly to a medium shot.
When the friends are on the boat the camera moves from the close up to high angle shot, this way we get to see each individual character. This is done really quickly to show each facial expressions.
When the woman is talking to her daughter we only hear their conversation because the camera is focused on the dad showing that there is something on his mind.
When the parents are talking to each once again the camera is not focused on their conversation but on the white van coming towards them. This makes the audience aware that there is going to be a car crash.
As the camera is not focusing on the conversation of the two people but focuses on the dad this shows that something is going to happen, making the audience aware before it even happens.
At the end the camera zooms out from the car accident finishing the first dramatic scene.
