(This is when the shot changes - the first cut in the scene is after 9 seconds).The amount of time the shot changes during the first minute of the clip is 9 times. 2) How does the pace (speed) of cuts change between 1 minute and 1.30?The speed of the shots changes slower between 1 minute and 1.30 to show the whole setting and to show us all Van Gogh paintings. 3) Why is the scene emotional for the audience to watch?The audience might get emotional by seeing Van Gogh getting emotional/crying while hearing other people talk about his amazing art work. Extension tasks 4) How is juxtaposition (two shots placed next to each other) used at 1.58 to create meaning for the audience? It is to show Van Gogh's expression towards the man's words. 5) What do you think is the most important shot in this scene and why?
