XCU - CREATES IMMEDIATE CONNECTION AND EMPATHY W/ CHARACTER (JACK)
DOES NOT ESTABLISH LOCATION FIRST, CONFUSING AUDIENCES.
POV - FIRST PERSON PERSPECTIVE SUGGESTS LOCATION (ENIGMA FOR SUSPENSE), MAKES CHARACTER AND AUDIENCE APPEAR SMALL
BEV - CONTRASTING SHOT ,ISOLATES JACK AS ZOOMS OUT
HIGH PITCH MUSIC MAKES AUDIENCES UNCOMFORTABLE
JACK'S SUIT SUGGESTS HIGH SALARY JOB
CAMERA TRACKS FROM SIDE, OBSCURING CHARACTER WITH SHOOTS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PAN STARTS ON CHARACTER AND CONTINUES TO IMPLY POV BEFORE RESETTLING ON CHAR.
VAST OCEAN INCREASES ISOLATION
VAST OCEAN INCREASES ISOLATION
SHOT SIMILAR TO TAXI DRIVER (1976, DIR: MARTIN SCORSESE)

PURE STORYTELLING WALKS THROUGH THE CONTRAST BETWEEN ISOLATION AND PANIC WITH CHARACTER.
SHOT SIMILAR TO STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS (2015, DIR: JJ ABRAMS)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WS TO IMPOSE DANGER

SOFT EDGE GIVES DREAMLIKE FIRST IMPRESSION TO FLASHBACK SCENE
TRACKS BACK TO SHOW BEN LOOKING OUT - PLAYING WITH POV AND PERS. AGAIN
FRANTIC PLANE CRASH CONTRASTED BY CALM OCEAN - JARS AUDIENCES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SHOT CONTRASTS CHAOS VS NATURE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAM PANS TO REVEAL PLANE
LOOKS DOWN TO IMPRESS SIZE OF PLANE AND SHRINK CHARS
