Camera: Shots/Focus/Movement/Angles

- Tilt shot- from the rider to the hiding hobbits.

 -Close-ups- Hobbit faces- scared, nervous, bugs -crawling across the hobbits, shows how difficult it was to keep still and quiet.

                  -Three close-ups on parts of the rider- the horse hooves pawing the ground, the horse muzzle/bridal with red-eye, and the rider's feet hitting the ground. Builds suspense before we see the rider.

-Low angle - looking up at the rider, shows hobbits cowering below, make the rider look bigger, intimidating, and frightening.

-Sound - Diegetic sounds- horse hooves approaching, bugs crawling, birds, movement of the rider armour, the sound of his breathing. 

             -Little sounds are magnified when we are afraid.

-Lighting- natural, dim, cold - makes it feels cold and uninviting.

Sexxy Paragraph

Statment- In the 'Black Rider' Scene close up are used to show the fear of the characters as they hide. 

Example- The four hobbits are running from the Black Rider. They seek refuge under the roots of an old tree as the rider approaches. Close-ups show us the expressions of fear on the hobbits faces.

X-Audience- This makes the audience feel intimidated and anxious with the hobbits as the unseen enemy arrives.

X- Director- The purpose of this is to build suspense before we see the rider. Like the characters, we are afraid even though we don't know what is coming.

X-Link technique- Combined with close-ups is the use of diegetic sounds including the horse hooves on the ground, the breathing of the rider and the clinking of his armour as he dismounted. These sounds add to the feeling of fear we have seen through the close-up shots.

Y-Your real-world connection- Interestingly, mast viewer has felt the fear of being chased and found before. This allows them to connect with the emotions of the characters at this moment.
