Touching the Void Tension Graph - Andrea 7EN4
Clarity: It is very foggy and wispy, making it slightly hard to see the climbers, this shows the weather and the visibility on the mountain.
Close Up: There are several close ups on the climber skidding down the steep mountain slope, furiously trying to come to a halt.
Camera Angles: The camera switches quickly from several different view points. This shows fear, as if you don't know where it's coming from so you don't stop looking in every direction.
- Shot #4: Overhang (33:22)
- Concluding Shot: Blackness (34:50)
Sound Effects: There is a sound effect which is kind of- crashing snow? The climber is skidding off this steep slope, trying to grab onto the snow and ice- making the 'crashing snow' sound.
Sound Effects: There is the sound effect of heavy falling snow to have the audience feel as if they were, too, falling off a overhang. There continues to have wind for the realistic value as well.
Heavy Breathing: Shows exasperation from the character, or fear from shortly before. This directly shows the audience what the character is feeling.
Narrative Element: Joe is narrating over the scene, giving insight on how he was feeling and what he was doing to tell the audience in case they were confused.
Silence: Gives the audience a contrast between the eventful sounds from before with the wind etc. Also giving the audience time to process the scene before.
Pitch Black: This provides a nice transition scene to the next part of the film as there is nothing to focus on, which is what is meant to happen.
