The DescentMicro Analysis 2

+Mise-en-scene

LightingThroughout Cave scene where the characters first make contact with the crawlers there is very little lighting used to give them the sense of being trapped, the only light that is used is from the helmet torches to show what the characters are looking at.

PropsIn the scene you can see various different bones and bodies from animals that the crawlers have killed and eaten, this is to give the audience an idea of what kind of creatures they are. You also find that Bones also tend to represent death this is used to give a sense of danger to the characters.

+LocationThe main location used in the clip is located within the cave which seems to be closed off, this is used to give the idea that they are trapped and can’t escape making them vulnerable to the crawlers. This idea of being trapped is used to give them fear and follows the genre of Horror

SoundThroughout the scene you find that because there is little lighting sound is used to give the audience some idea of what is happening within the scene for example, as the characters are maneuvering through the cave you can hear them struggling, another example of where sound are the foots steps of the crawlers that are running through the water
