Kane Is then shown piling more food onto his plate, greedily, as if he hasn’t eaten in days. This shot shows the audience that he has got his appetite back. Lambert is then shown talking to Kane and Parker. The director cleverly shows this by moving the camera to concentrate on each characters face as they are talking, which allows the audience to become involved with the individual character and what they are saying. The camera stays on Kane as he starts to choke. Ash is the first to be concerned about his choking as if he was anticipating it. Parker makes a joke about the food saying “The food isn’t that bad, is it?” The director did this to show that Ash is the only one that has taken any notice or concern of Kane’s choking. Parker starts to pat Kane on the back trying to help him. The audience sees Ash looking on expectantly.
Kane suddenly falls on his back onto the table in pain. Everyone, including Ash, jumps up to help him. This makes the audience feel a sudden concern for Kane, as it’s obvious he is not choking.
Dallas and Parker are now trying to keep Kane still as he thrashes around on the table. The audience is made to feel how difficult it is for Dallas and parker to hold Kane down by the intense expression on their faces. Kane’s erratic movements and shrieking told me how much pain he was in and I could empathise with him.
The whole cast are now trying to keep him still, this proved to me how much pain he must have been in as six grown adults try and hold him down. Kane then screams in pain as his chest bursts slightly and blood splats on the cast around him.
I had mixed feelings at this point whether he was alive or not as Kane lied on the table motionless. Kane then suddenly starts to struggle again and the cast goes back to their former positions. It made me feel relieved that he wasn’t dead but also excited to want to know what will happen next. Kane’s face showed that he was in more pain than before, the camera stayed on his face and chest as his chest unexpectantly bursts open fully showering the cast in blood.
This was so unexpected and took me by surprise, as it did the cast who stood in astonishment as they watched an alien crawl out of Kane’s open chest. The small sized alien looks around it’s surroundings like a new born baby, then runs off, leaving the cast and audience in shock.
The way the director decided to direct this scene made me feel tense and wanting to know more all the way through. It went from a normal diner time to death in only a few minutes. The camera close up shots of Kane’s expression made me almost feel his pain. The way the director caught the shocked expressions on the casts’ faces was well executed. It reflected my own thoughts exactly!
