The Ring
The shot opens on an establishing shot, showing an old house and a tree. The tree hasn't got any leafs which is a traditional horror movie method, this is the same for the old house, which looks like it's straight out of a horror film. It's raining quite heavily, and just before the shot cuts you start to hear some dialogue.
The shot cuts and makes a loud hissing noise, before cutting to a conversation between two girls in a room, one is lying against the bed and the other is lying on the bed. The room is very average looks nothing like the exterior of the house, there are lamps, pillows and stuffed toys signaling that just like the characters in the room, this is a girls room. The shot slowly zooms onto them as their conversation develops, eventually the character against the bed hands the remote over to the one lying on the bed and she changes channel. The shot quickly jumps to showing the tv which gets turned off, then it cuts back to the characters talking.
The character against the bed then responds to the character on the bed, the camera cuts to her face talking, and then shows her moving and then sitting on the bed. The starts talking and explains about how she's heard this rumor about a tape, the character lying on the bed gets up and sits next to the other character, showing she's interested. Both characters resume in conversation, there is one switch between the over the shoulder shot, then the camera very slowly zooms upon one of the characters talking. When the camera goes back to the other charater her face is shown in horror, she is petrified and scared and she gets very serious questioning the other character.
The character who looks horrified explains how what the other character just told her actually happened to her, and her face drops even more as she continues, there is a silent pause and the two minute mark is reached.
