The Vanishing Short Scene Analysis


1. What is the cinematographic significance of the ending? (the burial)

At the end of the film, the audience views a scene where Rex is buried alive. The scene is pitch black and we don't see much other than the flicker of light from a lighter and a bit of Rex's hands and face. This particular scene would be challenging for filmmakers to create. In order to create a scene that dark, it would require removing lights and technical personnel, in order to capture the essence of horror in the audience discovering Rex was buried alive.


3. In the scene where Raymond is practicing, what angles and camera movements are used?

The camera used a tilt and high angle shot to capture part of the car and main character. Using this tilt and high angle shot, the viewers can see Raymond walking around the car and practicing his abduction techniques. It captures Raymond moving around the car from one side to another without having to pan the camera left or right.
