SYNOPSIS, CAMERA ANGLES OF TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE


The movie starts by telling you the date it set august, 1939. It then shows you an extreme long shot of a mud hill with a weather shot, a long shot of farm fences, a pathway (that all zooms in a little on each shot). There then is a close up of cows going into a slaughter house, then the door to the slaughter house closes and the transition to the next scene is a fade in to the next scene. The camera tilts to show a man chopping up meat and then another person packing it and a close up on the "inspected" stamp that is on the packaging. The music at this part changes more dramtically to set the mood and tone of the movie. The camera then focus out and its a woman in labour, she shouts her boss for help then a close up and cut in as she grabs her prayer beads and shows a close up of her leg as her water breaks. A mid shot of her boss as he stands watching her and she asks god to help her, it then shows you her water again and it turns to blood, she then falls to the floor people now suddenly rush over to help. The boss tells a employee to get the hell out of here and shows a two shot of the couple as he whispers into her ear thats what you get for drinking on the job son. The woman suddenly screams out in pain and shows a point of view shot as if the womans if looking at the man and her eyesight is going, grabbing hold of the boss, blood rushing all over the floor. The woman stops screaming the boss looks down and the camera cuts to a point of view shot where he's looking down on the deformed baby. The camera then cuts away to a completely new subject. It shows a woman scavenging through the trash trying to find food, she then hears a baby crying and finds the baby that was born wrapped up in news paper. She wipes some of the blood off the baby, it then changes to the next scene with her carrying the baby up a deserted road in a wide shot and then shows you a house and her walking to it.
