In a film like a House of 1000 corpse you may not believe that they is such very tense hart breaking scene in a gore filled horror film. A film with people being turned in to fish art and being forced to wear animal costumes they is a scene that is general quite stunning. It happens half way through the film where the police are looking for the teenagers that the main villains of the film have. They arrive at their farm while looking around as same as the rest of the film as been edited nothing special a routine horror edited where they go in close for the gore and use jump cuts for the jump scares of the films. It is not until the farm where after two of the police has been killed and last one is hold up at gun point and forced to get down on his knees that edited completely changes.
The build up the moment is very quick with fast cuts then to the when the last police officer is hold up. the cuts start to slow down as the officer begs for his life and while the man with gun insults him. Then it cuts to a wide shot where from the side of both of them. Then it stays on that shot and pulls out to a high angle must of been shot with a crane and then holds of on the shot for a while until the gunshot. It does this without cutting to other shots. This shows great restraint in not over cutting the scene and hold for a while until the gunshot builds up great tension.
