The Descent movie still analysis.


This is a still from the movie 'The Descent'

The shot is a medium long shot.
Low shot

The still is set in a forest.
A forest is usually the setting you would expect for a horror film... Usually.

The girl in the still is covered in blood.
This is another stereotype for horror movies.
You wouldn't expect a girl crawling out of the ground covered in blood from a  Romantic Comedy.

The girls facial expression suggest that she may be in agony or is trying really hard to escape from wherever she is.
It could also represent the fact that she is very scared.

Although the lighting doesn't really reflect that of usual lighting from a horror movie, you can still see that it's from a horror because all of the other ingredients for a horror are there.
