Pick a scene from your favourite movie and describe the setting in detail. Use specific sensory details to capture the mood and atmosphere of the scene.
Firstly, my favourite movie has got to be the entire series of Saw. The scene that I would like to blog about today would be a scene from Saw 6. Now before I start with anything, I would like to say that what really intrigues me about this movie is how creative the directors and producers of the movie are. The same says for the other movie series of Final Destination. The way Saw sets the traps, how many ways a person can die, and all in a matter of minutes to decide your life or death.
So this setting in this scene in Saw 6 is actually set in a desolate factory, in a room with bright red lights and colourful doors, and in the middle is a spinning carousel. The whole atmosphere; carnival and playground-like. Blood stains the air and the sound of 6 office workers screaming for help deafens the ear. A shotgun is placed in front of the spinning carousel, waiting to unload its first shell or be lifted up by pressing two buttons in a machine, which will drive a spike into the person's hand. The entire setting is such that death and fear and horror is going on, but yet the carnival music and funfair atmosphere contradicts it.
To me, this is by far the longest, most interesting and perverted trap in Saw. I do not really want to dwell on the storyline itself, but watching the whole movie, seeing how the manager is given the chance to sacrifice his hand each time to save one of his assistants and all because of a flawed and baised policy that they were working on that indirectly decides whether a person lives or dies. In such a situation, while watching the movie, one would be really excited to find out which assistants would the manager decide to save, but to see the assistants start lying and cursing each other in order to save each other's life, and to see the manager just ignore some of the assistants, is really, just perverted.
