shot of a girl behind a cake,

which goes from out of focus, and into focus straight

away.

• These next few shots are known as the Static shots. As the young girl blows out the candles on the cake, the camera goes to a darker shot

This shot is a wide shot that shows exactly where Sarah is. This shot goes from a wide shot to a close up to show this shot is focused on Sarah and the heart monitor, and

this is because Sarah is recovering from her injury

This shot goes from an close up to a wide shot as Sarah has awaken from her sleep from her injury and looks very confused. The reason

this shot changes into a wide shot, because in this part of the film she runs down the corridor and a

close up of this wouldn’t be able to work as well as a

close up.

The other is a Wide Back Track shot to show everyone around her, and what’s going on. This is very effective, because it show’s us what everyone is doing in this scene, and how everyone is feeling.
