Production

In an essay examining the use of cinematic effects of time on Angel, Tammy Kinsey points out the cut sequence in this episode when Gunn pulls up to the shelter after Wesley has been shot. Leah Marie Pipes (born August 12, 1988 in Los Angeles California) is an American actress. Camille Mana (born Camille Gomez; September 1, 1983) is an American actress and Film producer. Darris Love (born April 26, 1980) is an American Actor, most notable for his role as Raymond 'Ray' Alvarado in Nickelodeon's Suli McCullough (born 1968 is a versatile comic-actor and writer in Hollywood Although upon normal viewing it appears to simply be a few flashes of color, when played slowly it reveals itself as a shot of lightning over a field, a negative image of the scene itself, a flash of light, then a return to the positive image of the scene. The effect, Kinsey argues, is that the viewer experiences a "forced pause, not unlike the musical notation of a beat" which gives an unconscious impression of the following material. ^[1]
