In this shot, the group have just run away from a group of
zombies. Whilst running from the zombies it is very hectic and loud, and there
are lots of shots, whereas when they get into the lift it is just one shot, and
there is awkward contrapuntal mall music playing in the lift. This is an
example of collision cutting, where we go from quick sequences of shots to a
slow sequence and both emotions (first panic, then calm) are exaggerated by the
length of shots.
In this shot we can also get a good idea of who all the
characters are. On the far left we have Monica, who is an obvious female victim
because she has blonde hair, large breasts and bright red lipstick on. Michael
on the right who is a Male hero and Ana in the middle who is the ‘Final girl’.
Ana is also dressed in an almost masculine sports t-shirt with her hair up,
which heavily contrasts with Monica, who has her hair down, and is wearing what
looks like a cheerleader’s top.
