The sequence starts with a medium longshot of a room with three people in it. ...
There is a dissolve to a shot of a wagon and horses moving away from the camera. ... In this case the general was talking about the wagon. ...
The action then cuts back to the wagon and horses approaching the camera. The sequence of shots between the wagon and the generals men and then back to the wagon is called crosscutting editing. ...
The wagon and horses approach the camera and stop by a wrecked wagon. The wrecked wagon is framed in the shot by the horses and working wagon. Within the sequence this presents danger to the spectator and opens their mind to the possibility that the same thing could happen to the working wagon.
A sergeant approaches the wrecked wagon. The wagon wheel is in the foreground and the sergeant stands behind it. The shot focuses on the sergeants reaction to the wrecked wagon rather than the wagon itself. ... The next shot is of two other men standing behind the other wheel of the wagon. ... Without stating it as fact this suggests to the spectator that if the Indians attack they will come from the hills. ...
The next sequence of shots involves the first shot being fired. It moves from a medium close-up of X looking for Indians and getting fired at, to a mid-shot of X approaching and untying his horse, to a long-shot of the wagon and horses leaving. The movement from medium close-up to long shot indicates the ending of the sequence by the wrecked wagon and is similar to an establishing shot but reversed.
