Answer to Question 1

Expansive outward movements and sunburst effects are generally associated
with explosive emotions, like joy or terror. In this shot, however, the symbolism is
more complex. The scene occurs at the climax of a furious chase sequence in which
the protagonist (Gene Hackman, with gun) finally triumphs over a vicious killer by
shooting himjust as he seems on the verge of eluding the dogged police officer
once again. This kinetic outburst on the screen symbolizes not only the bullet
exploding in the victim's body, but a joyous climax for the protagonist after his
humiliating and dangerous pursuit. The kinetic ecstasy of death also releases the
dramatic tension that has built up in the audience during the chase sequence: In effect,
we are seduced into sharing the protagonist's joy in the kill.

Answer to Question 2

Animation, fast motion, slow motion, reverse motion, and freeze frames
