Film Language Test Learner Response 

WWW: in each question you pick out some key details that could help answer the question however...

EBI: ...your answers are overwhelmingly description rather than analysis. You don't discuss the potential meaning in any depth- you need this for the high levels.

- no jump cuts; you need to revise editing.

-need paragraphing... this will also help you add depth and stay focused on the question.

LR:

Majority of the scene is continuity editing and all the shots followed in a chronological order. This helps create tension as we suspect that the scene is building up to a significant event. Additionally, the use of the slow paced editing also creates drama and tension in the opening scene, since it makes everything to happen slower and the audience almost acknowledge everything happening in more detail. However, the pace only gets slower once the second character arrives, before this the pace is rather fast as the scene straight cuts from the match being lit to the fire starting and then to second character. 

Futhermore, when the second character arrives, slow motion is used when he is walking down the stairs which creates even more suspense and tension because we as the audience assume that the arrival of this character could led to violence or death. In addition to that, the characters face not being shown emphasises the pressure the audience is feeling by he arrival of this particular character. the lack of editing here also creates a tense atmosphere.

Lastly, once the man is shot there are straight cuts to severa different things and we are not aware whether the man is dead or whether the second character got shot instead which leaves the audience stressed.
