| This is a medium close up (MCU) which shows several police officers. It helps us see the concern on their faces as they watch their former partner. The amount of people than you can see in this screenshot not only makes the viewer assume that the main protagonist is too powerful for one police officer alone but raises the tension by showing how many people are about to attempt to catch the main protagonist. |

| This is a wide shot (WS) which shows us a scene with a crash involving a car. You can also see a human figure in the background which seems like they're running away from the impact but you can also see another human figure on top of the car roof with sparks flying, making the viewer assume that the person is the cause of the damage. |

| This is a close up (CU) which shows the main protagonist, slightly looking bewildered at the police officers, due to me seeing the clip containing this screenshot, this can prove that the protagonist is making a mental note on how he was going to escape without getting caught. This can also create tension within the clip because of the silent pause he was made while the police officers tried to restrain him from running away. |
WWW: This is excellent analysis - detailed, thoughtful and clearly discussing the deeper meaning of each shot for the audience.
ReplyDeleteEBI: I think you could say more about the alleyway location and what it communicates to the audience. Use your knowledge of the scene and what you can see in the shot. Do this below in your learner response...
LR: Why did the director choose the alleyway location for the rest of this scene? Think about what it might suggest to the audience.
