Clip 5
This shot lasts under 3 seconds and is a low, wide of 3 soldiers it is also another example of the rule of thirds. The dead soldier takes up the left hand third and along the bottom third in the foreground. The soldiers in the top third is where the action is and the next shot after this. But it is not as noticeable until a soldier runs past drawing your eye up to the top of frame.

There are no camera movements and very little movements from the actors, but all of the thirds are fairly busy. The only third that appears to have very little contains a puddle of water, this reflects the action in the thirds above it keeping the overall frame full and visual.

The shot has been filmed at a 14 degree angle. As seen here if the camera had been level the shot is still interesting but the Dutch angle gives it more depth adding to the confusion of the fight around them. The Image shaker has been used her during an explosion which is timed with spraying water, fake blood and sand, allowing the audience to believe the explosion was nearby increasing the sense of danger. This shot is slightly more colourful than the previous and following shots. Allowing it to stand out more. Because it has little movement it gives you a short resting point. If all the shots were frantic and shaky you would become too easily distracted from what is happening and if they were all still you would become bored, so there has to be a balance between the two. You can also see the flare coming off the plastic bags caused by the purpose designed filters, contributing to the bright surreal moment.
