Firstly, the scene begins with a low angle shot looking down upon a character in a distorted vision, the character here seems out of the norm, the camera is held in tilted angles to show this characters confusion. Unsteady zooms are also initiated in this shot to put this to more dramatic effect. Tracking shots are used to follow the character so that we get into view a focus of a girl. This transition has slight effect of the super natural, which is why it used; to make the audience aware that what is happening is out of the ordinary.
We then zoom into a high angle, long shot of a girl, this is used to make the girl seem quite superior it is used so that the audience know that this character is dominant in the scene and has some sort of significance throughout.
We then see a close up of the girl’s hand on the stick shift; we instantly know that the girl is in charge here. She is in control of the car and the close up lets the audience recognise this instantly.
We then move on to see another close up, this time of a single wheel, this is significant so that we can see the speed of the car. We can see that it is going at a dangerous speed and that the scene could pose danger. Again, we see another close up. We see a close up of the speed inside the car so that this establishes the fact the car is going at a dangerous speed. All of these close ups have been put in place so that we know that this is a high speed seen we see them together, telling us about the high speed and seeing these all together builds up dramatic effect within the scene.
Two shots of the two passengers are used, switching between both characters when they speak. This is to enable us to see the conversation-taking place and also the switch in transaction creates a divide between the two characters. They are in a confrontation and for them not to be in the same frame a lot creates an air in which they are thinking in separate ways. Profile shots from the side are used to create the effect that the characters again are seeing things from a different viewpoint. The girl is facing forward and the boy is looking at her face.
A long shot of the car is then used so that we can see the whole disaster occurring and the damage that has been done to the car.
A low angle view of the car at the of the scene is also put in place, this again is to enable the viewer to see properly what has happened. Its is also used to give us a sense that the people in the car are hurt, a sense of death is there, we are looking down on them because of the state they are currently in.

Excellent work Bekki!
just a couple of corrections in your first paragraph:
- high angle shots look down
- 'tilted' shots are called canted shots
Great analysis and explanation throughout. Continue to learn your media terms. (B)
