An Analysis of a Scene from Terminator 2 Essay Example

shot, this makes the lorry look huge and menacing to the audience. There is a medium shot in the scene that we are looking at where the truck is being hit from behind by the big lorry; this shows us the comparison between the sizes of the two vehicles.In this scene there are lots of blacks, greys, blues, and other dark colours, this gives it a kind of creepy feel to the scene, I think that the black gives a sense of death and fear to the movie and it shows us that it is nighttime. The blue gives a cold feel to the scene.

The scene is very dark; the huge lorry is white which makes it look even bigger than it is because of the black background.In this scene, some background music creates quite a lot tension, which is good for this type of film. There is a lot of screeching in this scene with all the car crashes that go on, at the end of the scene the music and other sound all die down as Arnold Schwarzenegger says his legendary line "Hasta la vista, baby".There are a couple of good special effects in this scene; one is when the helicopter crashes into the back of the police van that the T-800 and the Connors "borrow" and another is when the T-800 shoots the T-1000 and he shatters. The costume that the T-1000 transformed into was a police costume. Which usually shows us authority, this tells me that he is the stronger of the two terminators and that he is doing the chasing which is normally the case with the police, and

so this is a good choice of costume for him.

Whereas the T-800 is wearing a leather jacket, which makes him look like a bit of a troublemaker, perhaps being chased by a policeman? John and Sarah Connor are just wearing normal clothes that normal people used to wear in the sixty'sI think that terminator 2 is very successful in creating drama and tension because of all the action and humour in it. There are some twists that I didn't expect to happen, for example, I didn't expect the T-1000 to jump into that helicopter and order that man to get out, that was funny.
