Steve asked us to find a 'moment' in a film or TV Series that we loved and remembered and discuss it ready for the next session. The 'Moment' that I chose is from the TV Series 'Breaking Bad', Produced by AMC and created by Vince Gilligan. This 'moment' is from the end of an episode in season 3 and it's when Jessie is going to shoot two drug dealers, they see each other across a street, slowly start walking up to each other, as Jessue pulls out his gun, so do the the drug dealers, as they are about to shoot, Walter White drives up and runs over both dealers, killing one instantly. He then gets out of his car, walks up to the dealer trying to grab his gun, Walter picks it up and without hesitation, shoots the dealer. As Jessie looks in horror and fear, Walter looks up and says 'Run' and the episode ends. This moment can be seen below:

What made me remember and choose this moment is the shock that it gave me when I watched it. The fear you see from Jessie as he walks towards the dealers, we see tention build in the scene, we can see much fear in Jessie's eyes and facial expression as he walks up to the dealers. No dialogue here at all, just showing the fear and tention through facial expression and detail on the dealer cogging his gun. Then suddently, the car drives up and hits into both of the dealers, we then see the shock and surprise but also relife in Jessie's eyes as he knows he doesn't have to kill them and then we see Walter get out and grab the gun, without hesitation, hold back or even emotion he just shots the dealer and we see the monster begin to grow more in him. However, since he just saved Jessie from 2 bigger monsters (the dealer) we take Walter's side. Finally, the only piece of dialogue that's needed, what ends the episode on a huge cliff hanger and brings such suspense and shock to the audience, 'RUN.'
