2. The most important shot in the abduction scene is Saskia
looking at the family portrait of Raymond. This is the motivation for her to
get into the car because she assumes that he is an okay person and a family
man, that he is safe. The portrait builds her confidence with him and allows
her to feel that Raymond isn’t capable of doing anything, and is being honest.
It also highlights the fact that horror could be anywhere, even in the mind of
a seemingly normal father.
3. In the second practice attempt, the shot begins as a
medium shot. In this, shot Raymond is practicing his approach to get a woman in
his car, so the camera gives room to the framing as if there were a person
standing there. As the shot continues, the camera pans over, following Raymond
and the imaginary woman, and even shifts over as the door opens to accommodate
for the space the woman would take up as she moves. The camera then pans across
the car as Raymond walk behind to enter the driver’s side door, keeping the
passenger side of the car in view the entire shot.
