Now I could talk for ages about this short piece and the director Alan Resnick as I love his work as it has some very interesting messages and has lots of very interesting shots that peak my interest.
Now i'm not going to spoil it, but I want to talk about one segment in particular which is the running scene.
I'll give you a little run down - I'll be starting the clip at 3:37, So the woman gets out of her car looking down at the ground where the same colour cardigan is shown. The camera is a close up of her face panning down to the floor slowly with the camera becoming unstable this is then backed up with her looking terrified. The music slowly builds up and cuts to a wide shot of the street with a single white person in the middle. The Camera slowly pulls in with the accompanying drums slowly getting faster until you see it's the same woman. Then she wakes up with the camera also motioning this. Then she starts sprinting. The camera almost feels locked on with it being unstable with only her being the stable thing in the shot but still feeling incredibly unstable.
This shot is amazing at building up tension, mostly due to you trying to work out what's going on but the drums and the unstable shot all build up and makes you wonder if the woman will make it out alive. The reason I like this shot so much is because the shot shows the audience how unstable the situation is.
