Key focusses:
Spectatorship / alignment:
- Subverting the western genre

Ideology of the film as a whole:
- Capitialism, morality.

Chase scene:
- what makes this scene the most frightening for the spectator is that because we are seeing the scene through Moss perspective - we barely see Anton for most of this sequence. It gives the spectator that they too are running away from Chigurh. The most we get is his silhouette or quick flashes, but his abstract presence remains i to run away from. Makes him seem more like a force of nature or a ghost than human being. Yet another clever trick used by Coen brothers to dehumanize Chigurh and make us align with Moss.
- Long takes, low key lighting allows us to see less and it is more mysterious
How does suspense connect to ideology: connects to alignment and sympathy for Moss. Connects to the sense of blurred morals
Silence provokes emotional investment and alignment
Moss is filmed at mid shots and is centre frame in wide angle when sat on the b e which makes him seem small and vulnerable. He can be caught off guard
There is a mid closeup / zoom in on him.
Low angle shot allows the spectator to be intimately close with moss
Close ups and wide angles
Cinematography In the sequence : starts with a low angle shot of moss in bed which poses him as vulnerable
The silence allows the spectator to be shocked at the first gun sound and be started and to be awaiting closely what happens
Moss runs toward the camera which allows the spectator to be sutured in and feel as if they are collaborating with him.
