Red Eye Scene Analysis

Director: Wes Craven
Director of Photography: Robert Yeoman

In this scene Lisa notice that they are about to land back home in the miami airport knowing that her time is running out to save her father's life & trying to get away from her seat mate from the plane before he comes through with his assassination plot by using the power of Lisa to set it up.
In this First shot its a close up on Lisa's hand getting ready to unbuckle the seat belt quietly so can sneak away from her seat mate. At the same time she's trying to catch him off guard by opening up to her seat mate about a scar near her neck that he wanted to know about earlier on their flight as the camera goes back and forth between the two he began to let his guard down with the close up to his face showing his mean stare, but also care in his eyes by listening to her story, and doesn't know that's all part of her plan and he doesn't know what's about to come his way because he thinks he's still in control because he has her cornered on the plane in their seats.




While she's talking to him with one hand on her seat belt and the other firmly gripping a pen waiting to make her move.


Close up on the sign showing the plane is landed & its safe to unbuckle giving the Lisa the go to make her move.




As Lisa makes a run for it by slowing the man down by stabbing him in the throat with the pen, getting her a head start in the airport she try's to make a phone call with a close up showing no signal!




Here's a wide shot of Lisa running for her life as the man finally catches up with her as she barely gets away just by a second as they watch each other with back to back camera shots as she leaves the airport on the train.
