deep impact.

At the start of this sequence there is use of a close up of the meteor to establish how dominant and powerfull the item is within the film. aslo the speed and size is highlighted by showing earth move slowly were as the meteor moves at speed.
there is also use of a tracking shot capturing two of the main characters with the meteor heading over them. i belive this represents how the two characters are part of the surviving age post the meteor and also showing three main elements to the film.
thgere is a use of a long shot aswell which shows the masses of people stuck on the motorway and uses a series of close ups to capture the ractions from people there. the shot is also cleverly framed as there is very little gap between the cars and people to the outside of the frame which is used to show the masses of poeple and and how little a part in the world that is in terms of size.
the seqence highlights the emotions in which people could go through in a time of desperate need capturing characters waiting to die and those fighting to survive also there is use of a seiries of long shots from different parts of the world showing how this is a world wide problem.
many shots include buldings being destroyed and one is key to this which is the liberty statue being destroyed by the tidal wave. i belive this is to represent america as a hole being smashhed ny this giant wave and slowly losing control of what they can do.
these shots are usually long shots creating the sense of power and size behind the waves and meteor also there is use of shaking the cameras to capture the panic that the people are going through and again the dominace of what is happening.

as part of the cinematography there is use of red skylines highighting the fears of death and how in such a time love is vital. also cities like new york are filmed in grey dark sjies showing how the city is going to fall with the tidal wave and how also this tidal wave is going to kill people.

the sequence itself is very similar to how i wish my film to be viewed and so will be good research for my film.
