The first shot of the scene is a panning shot that racks between the first subject, Jacob,...
and the second, "Smoke Monster". This gives the audience a sense of direction as to where Smoke Monster is entering.
The very next shot is an establishing shot to reveal the vast landscape. Smoke Monster procedes to walk up to have a seat with Jacob.
Next is a medium close up of Smoke Monster looking off into the distance, as Jacob does.
Next is an over the shoulder shot of Jacob. This gives the audience a sense of dialogue and interaction. We now know the characters are going to be discussing something.
We have another expository shot of the ocean and ship in which the two are gazing at. We now know that this ship is an important element to this conversation.
We have a reverse over the shoulder shot of Smoke Monster, reinforcing the dialogue and conversation shared between the two.
The next series of shots are tighter OTS shots. This brings the audience closer to the characters.
This closeness is also shown through this shot of the boat. It also reinforces its importance of the ship.
The next shot is a over the shoulder dolly move. It starts behind Smoke Monster...
...and pans around his side. This also breaks the 180ยบ rule. I thinks this allows for a dramatic shift intended to let the audience know that the mood of the conversation is about to dramatically change.
The process of increasingly close over the shoulder shots repeats with this dramatic sequence.
The closing begins with a wide shot of the smoke monster exiting.
This shot lets the audience know that Jacob is going to be remaining in his own spot. This shot pans upward...
...revealing a statue that at this point in the series has become somewhat of a character.
The scene ends with a wide shot of Jacob, Smoke Monster and the statue. This shows how massive the statue is.
