These are the first two shot
shown in the film. Although extremely simple, it is very effective. The text
really stands out from the black background, showing its importance and the
colour used in these shots is interested as it suggests to the audience that
the film has a serious storyline, which isn’t happy or funny. The date and time
on the second shot is also important because allows the audience to go straight
into the action without seeing a title sequence suggesting something is
happening which instantly creates tension.
This shot is an extreme
close up of someone’s eye. It isn’t a commonly used shot in films, unless
something really significance is being shown, telling the audience that whoever
this person is, they have a big impacted in the film. Also this shot makes creates mystery and
confusing for the audience since they don’t know why this eye important or who
the eye it is
This is a point of view
shot, showing someone waking up in the back of a car. It relates to the
pervious shot as the audience realise that they are seeing what’s happening
from the eyes of person from the previous shot. What unique about this shot is it’s blurred.
This creates confusion for the audience as it hard to work out were the scene
is taking place and it is rarely used in films- making it extremely important.
The blurriness of this shot suggest to the audience that the person who point
of view its taking from has been asleep or knocked out and is just coming
round. Making the audience ask even more question as they don’t know why the
person has been asleep or knocked out. Despite the blurriness of the shot, the
audience can assume that the scene is taking place in a back of car at night.
Telling the audience that the setting is a normal location suggesting the
action that is taking place could happen in real life.
This is a point of view shot
showing a man with some type of marital over his face in the front of the car. This
shot allows the audience to realise what is happening. The person who point of
view the shot is from has been knocked out by these men and has woken up in the
back of car with no idea where they are going. The man in the shot is wearing dark clothing
this suggest to the audience that he doesn’t want to be notices and that he is
some kind of bad guy. The fact he is wearing some type of marital over his face
suggest that he trying to keep his identity secret, however as the audience can
still quite clearly see the man suggest he isn’t very experienced. The setting for this shot is still in the
back of a car, but it is clear now that its night time which it very commonly
used in a thriller film as it help to create an atmosphere. This shot is still taken from a person point
of view which allows the audience to really be a part of the action and sympathize
with the person who is going through this action.
This shot is a high angle point
of view shot, showing a person being held at gun point. The person in this shot
has been made to look weak and helpless. He looks distraught with what going on
and with his hand held up shows he is begging not to be shot. This makes the
audience feel sorry for the man and makes them question what the man has done
to be held at gun point. The character that point of view the shot has been
taken from has now been made to look less like the victim and more like the bad
guy. The gun used in this shot helps the
audience understand how serious the situation is and suggest danger, fear and
anger. This shot also make the sequence of events look more confusing (often
done in thriller films) as the person who’s point of view the shot is from has
gone from being in trouble to creating trouble- making the audience ask more
question and help keep them interested in the storyline.
