Another video clip

This second video clip also has some good techniques used for various dramatic effects. One such technique is the constant quick cuts between actions to maximize tension. The fact that there is no dialogue apart from the hero's one line in the scene makes it have a greater impact on the audience. However the fact that is a cheesy 'one-liner' makes it humorous as well. The soundtrack for the scene builds up slowly, adding atmosphere and reaches its peak in time with the hero's statement to increase its effect on the audience. The costumes in the scene are torn and blood-stained showing the characters have been through a lot of action and make-up includes 'wounds' on the hero's face. The scene is very dark making it eerie and adding a sense of mystery, anything could jump out of the shadows at any time. The props used in the scene are typical of any shed, but tools meant for everyday jobs are used in an unorthadox manner.
