Shot 7

This is a close up shot, it shows the terror in her eyes because of the darkness that’s coming to get her and she is looking it straight in the eyes. She has a sudden urge to run.

This is another steady cam shot, which shows Sarah devastated as she realizes that her daughter is dead and she has comfort from her friend who keeps saying “I'm sorry”.

Shot 11

This is another close up shot, this is of Sarah’s friend Juno showing sadness, loss and upset for the death of her friends daughter.

Shot 12

This is another steady cam show, but this steady cam shot is moving away while people and objects move towards the center of the shot. The effect this shot gives is ignorance, due to people ignoring Sarah and just walking around her not even acknowledging the fact she is on the floor crying and distraught.
