Scene Analysis

My scene is the reanaction of a POW execution performed by the Japanese army during World War Two which was the opening scene following a narrated intro in the movie The Great Raid. The scene is one minute and fifteen seconds long. I picked the scene becuase it is replete with vaious different kinds of shots and an increased pace of shot cuts.
In the scene POWs are forced into dugout bomb shelters and the comendant of the camp hands his attendant a letter which issues the order to execute all of the prisoners. The Japanese then proceed in the task of blockading the POWs in the shelters with gas drums and burning the men alive. During this scene the director rapidly switches between close ups on the camondant, the burning POWs and a machine gun squad which is guning down the survivors as they crawl out of the shelters. The horrific scene is accompanied by Taico druming and the sounds of screaming but very little is actually said between any of the characters.
A few important shots are when we see the POWs in the shelters the camera is angled down to depict their lack of power. Also when we see one POW gunned down there is a panning and tilting action which happens simultaniously. The scene ends with a close up on the comendant as the screne fades to white in the smoke from the fires and the machine guns.
