The sequence is from Fast and Furious 7 The Movie (The Plane Scene)
The sequence has been constructed to affect an audience by using many different techniques for example the sound. There is both diegetic and non diegetic throughout the sequence for example the non diegetic upbeat music and the loud diegetic music of the plane opening. The upbeat non diegetic sounds creates a dramatic affect as it causes suspense for the audience however the sequence has also been constructed to portrays slight humour in some parts of the scene. For example during the diegetic dialogue when one character says to another "your praying aren't you" and he actually is shows a humorous side to the scene.
Another way the sequence has been constructed to affect the audience in through the camera angles. There are two high angle shots, one of the plane and this is used to show how far down the cars will be falling and one of the car after falling from the plane which is used to make the car look powerless in the air. Both these examples create a scary affect for the audience as the camera angle has made it even more dramatic.
The use of mise en scene and in particular the props is also another way how this sequence has been constructed to affect the audience as the props are very unique and unusual for example having cars in the middle of the air and having parachutes on the cars. This creates excitement for the audience as it creates an adrenaline pump due to the unexpected props in unexpected places.
During the action packed scene there is a lot of fast paced editing when the cars are falling. This affects the audience as the quick editing makes the scene a lot more energetic and is much more exciting for the audience.
so overall all the filming/media techniques put together in the sequence create a very dramatic but exciting affect on the audience and the techniques such as soundtrack and editing cause emotion.
