DOTD 1979 Image Analysis Page 1

 
This image is a really effective shot mainly because it affects the audience in different ways. Some people may shudder when watching this scene and I think that is what the ‘Auteur’ has tried to accomplish. The shot can be considered as a medium shot and has been taken at this distance mainly so that the head explosion fits within the shot.
I think that the extent of this shot has been exaggerated as it follows the context of the rest of the film and it is the ‘auteur’ style of filmmaking. The lighting within this shot also emphasises the bright red blood used for the head explosion.
