Hi Micah! INCREDIBLE work and analysis!!! I haven't seen this movie, but after watching the clip, I definitely want to! I agree with your decision to analyze the lighting, sound, and shot, considering those seem to be the main factors in constructing the scene's tone. I am unclear which scene you will use for your scene analysis because your chart includes information from three different ones. At some points in the scene, the shot angle is shown from an observer (hand-held), providing the scene with a disheveled, chaotic, and ambushed feel.
