More Jurassic Park - Shot by Shot

I enjoy studying films and analysing them, and what you see here is all of the shots for the second scene of Jurassic Park. This is like a storyboard of the film, only its exactly what they shot. I find it very revealing to see how many set-ups it took to make a scene happen. I have more than a few of these of different films and will post more in the future. So here it is for your viewing pleasure.

This is scene 2, notice the small amount of coverage - 6 setups including the one inside the cave.... This scene shows you why Spieldberg is king.... notice how he introduces the lawer in a reflection shot, just doing a tilt like that adds so much! Also notice the cave shot though its only one setup! And lastly see the benefits of two shots.
