The clip began with an Establishing Shot of the location, showing the viewer that the character is in the woods. This immediately made the scene eerie as the character was alone in an isolated location in the dark making it tense and you aren't sure what is going to happen next.
The character is looking for a friend and spots something he has dropped. When he picks it up a close up shot of the item is shown which then pans to a close up of an ear hanging from the bush. This is effective as it shows the ear in detail and shocks the viewer and puts them on the edge of their seat as they do not know what happened and why.
The camera then quickly moves to another guy who is dead and has an ear missing. The camera focuses on him in a mid shot but it quickly zooms into his face creating a close up shot. This shows the characters wounds in detail, making it gory and adding suspense to the scene as they don't know who or what did it.
The scene then jumps to a girl alone in at tent. The first shot is a close up of her face, showing her expression, indicating that she is worried and scared. The scene then changes to a mid shot and tilts upwards as a shadow of a man holding a knife appears on the tent behind her. This creates tension as it works well with the sound also being played.
A long shot is then used as the male character runs back to the campsite and sees another of his friends hanging above a fire. The long shot is effective as it shows the viewer everything including the location and exactly what is happening making it easy to follow and understand. The long shot also creates tension as the friend is far away and in trouble and so needs to be helped as quick as possible. This scene is also done in a point of view shot as it is filmed handheld as the friend runs to help, making it jumpy and hard to focus on as he runs to help her, also adding tension to the scene.
As the character runs to help his friend he gets trapped in a bear trap. A close up shot is then used to show his leg and wounds as soon as it happens showing the blood and cuts to show its severity. This is effective as it creates further suspense and he is now no longer able to help his friend and they are both in trouble. Extreme close ups of both the males and females faces are then shown, showing their reactions and further indicating the amount of pain they're in as they scream.
An over the shoulder shot is then used as you see the male character try to free himself with the fire in the background as the girl also struggles to free herself. This creates suspense as the two are so close together but neither can be saved or help each other. Close up shots of the fire are also shown showing how dangerous and large it is, also building tension as the girl is still hanging above it and being burned.
The scene ends when the rope holding the girl snaps and she falls to the ground. A mid shot is then used to show her face and top half of her body and all the burns she has from being hung above the fire. This shows how injured she is and shocks the viewer as the killer is still loose.
