Film element
Example
Cinematography
Example 1: The ELS and interior shots of the airport where helpful to establish location for the film. Example 2: The mounted camera shot of the wing of the plane tilting downwards as the characters realize he’s going to crash the plane is a good use of cinematography.
Editing
Example 1: Between scenes, the editing from the panicked passengers to the calm old people in the garden was good comedic timing. Example 2: The fast-paced edits between characters during the panic of realization helps create the effect of frantic worrying.
Sound
Example 1: The diegetic sound of the suitcase at the beginning creates an immersive experience to the airport. Example 2: With a gradual realization that everyone on the plane knows Gabriel Pasternak, a silent dramatic score is used to establish tension in the scene.
