Blog #3 Re-Do SCREAM - Sidney's Bathroom Escape (YouTube)

This scene is from the 1996 Wes Craven horror film Scream. In this scene we see Sidney, the protagonist in the bathroom, when she is attacked by Ghostface. In this 2:33 minutes scene we see multiple angles and in 1:30 we see a shot from Sidney's point of view of her looking under the stalls to see if anyone is there. Then it cuts back to the audience seeing her and then again multiple point of view shots, of us seeing what Sidney sees. Again in 2:05 Sidney is looking under the stalls in a diagonal thrust shot. There is also some non-diegetic scary ominous sounds to present the killer, Ghostface, into the scene, the character cannot hear the music but us as the audience can.

There are a lot of close up shots of Sidney's face and the other characters in the bathroom. Then after they do a close up shot, they go straight into a medium shot, showing the other two girls. When Ghostface is introduced into the scene they start with a close up shot of his feet and then go into a long shot of him and Sidney. Something I noticed was in 0:51 it looks like Sidney is doing a distant gaze, since she's in the bathroom stall I guess she is gazing at the door. In 1:10 it looks like it would be an establishing shot but since it is not the beginning of the scene I wonder if it is still considered an establishing shot.
