Constantine

This shot is of a well known production company, however the film makers have manipulated its traditional logo to fit it with the theme of the film by making it a dingy brown dust like colour and having it break off to fade out. At this shot the only sound you can hear is the logo breaking up as if it were bricks crumbling and breaking.

The screen fades to black and then white writing appears telling the viewer about the spear. The contrast of the colours makes the writing stand out and look important. There is no sound present so that the audience focus on the words on the screen.

This is an establishing shot used to set the scene, which is an abandoned church area that possibly got burnt down. The dust shows that the area in not suitable for living and that what was once a place of refuge is now only a memory. The writing also sets the scene by telling us where the filming took place. There is a dusty wind sound echoing in the background.

This is also an establishing shot but also a two shot. It shows us what the inside of the 'church' is like and how the people that once lived around there have been forced to scavenge on this turmoil or moraine for food. Their clothes show us that they probably live there, they don't wash and they don't have a change of clothes. The wind sound bridges over and bird noises are introduced.

Overall this is a shot reaction shot. The first shot is a worms eye view shot, showing the character from above the camera looking down at 'us'. This implies something of importance that he is looking at. There is a quiet spooky and somewhat hypnotic sound as we focus on the hole in the ground along with the sound of the rubble and dust falling in.

The second shot is a POV shot of the hole this character was looking through. The fact that he is looking through a small broken hole shows that what he has found was once hidden. The sounds in the above shot bridge over but come to a crescendo.

The last shot is the reaction of the character, he is intrigued as to what is in the hole so cautiously but early lowers his hand to rummage in the hole to see if there is anything of value buried. Again, these sounds bridge over to this shot

Here the character is crouched down to the floor with his body language very closed. He is holding a nazi flag which links back to the second shot of the dagger not being seen since WWII. Something is clearly wrapped up in this flag and the character is trying to find out what but doing so secretively so that the other character can not see what he has found. The music is still present but gets deeper and builds more suspence. 

This same character was walking away from the site with his findings, on his way he gets hit by a car that comes out of no-where. In this shot you see how the character is hit side on by the front of the car, which leads you to think that he is now dead. At this point you hear the man panting as he is walking, when he gets hit you hear the sound of a crash but it is much louder than it should if a car hit a person; more like the sound of two cars crashing.

This is the mans arm after he gets hit, there is a cross like symbol which relates to the sword and its meaning. The symbol comes up looking like a scar, showing that he has some power to do with the dagger and he cannot now escape his fate. The music sounds like operatic singing getting very loud quickly, with a fortissimo bang when the symbol appears fully on the mans arm.

The character has now miraculously jumped up from being hit and runs away into the distance, leaving the audience with many questions as to why he survived such a horrific crash. The music comes to a dimminuendo as the man runs away, as the main sound is the focus of him panting.
