Camera movement and editing

-

 CAMERA MOVEMENT: 

The camera movement at the beginning of the scene s slow and steady but begins to speed up at 0:55 as the people dressed in uniform begin to chase the guy who is dressed more casually. At 0:58 a handheld camera movement is used. The director could have added this in in order to make the audience feel like they were apart of chase that had started it could also be used as a way to show how the “criminal” is feeling. At 1:05 the director uses a crane shot to show the people dressed in uniform fly down one by one to where the “criminal” is. The director could have used this camera movement to further dramatise and exaggerate the situation that the “criminal” has gotten himself into. At 1:13 (continue of a crane movement) the camera pans outwards and shows the people in uniform surrounding the “criminal” as the camera comes to a still movement the people who’re in uniforms also have their feet planted flat on the ground the director could have included this to show that the ‘criminal” is trapped and has no way out. At 1:18-1:29 a tilt is used at a low angle the director could have used this to show the juxtaposing outfits of the two people talking to each other: one is dressed in what could be taken a military uniform and the other in a casual jeans, t shirt and leather jacket. This creates a sense of interest in the audience perhaps making them question the background of the two people and want to know why they’re represented so differently. 


EDITING:

At 1:33 the director uses a straight cut to show the main character’s expression as the guy opposite him speaks. As the “criminal” listens you can see the uncaring expression on his face as if all that is being said by the guy in uniform is going in one ear and straight out the other. The director could have used this to zoom in on the emotion represented on the main characters face. At 1:50 a fast straight cut is used to show the emotion on the main characters face. He looks as if he’s having a moment of realisation that he can run or try not run. The director may have used this to ships that the main character is eager to get himself out of his current situation by making the mess even bigger.


CAMERA SHOT:

At 0:14 the director uses a medium close up to show the urgency of the deceives when they find out that their suspect has been identified. The pace that the camera moves at creates a sense of hopefulness for the audience that the detectives will finally catch the “criminal”. Furthermore the director also uses an over the shoulder shot at 0:16. As the scene progresses the camera zooms in on the person who’s shoulder she and it zooms into their news a paper which creates a sense of discovery for the audience.

connotations and denotations

Image
  Denotation: there is a boy in the photo who looks disappointed. The background is dull and there is a broken wall next to the boy. He is wearing an old dirty dirty t-shirt. Connotation:  The slogan "dig toilets not graves" suggests people are dying and the other people, like the boy, have to dig the graves of these people. The wall in the background is broken which suggests the lack of money that these people have. The water aid mark is written in white and blue which gives connotations of cleanness. Analysis: The advert helps the audience to understand how important water is to people like the boy on the screen. in addition, the text that says “dig toilets not graves” shows how severe the lack of water is in certain countries. Also in the corner it says “water aid”. The word aid suggests that this advert is for a charity that is probably trying to raise enough money to send clean water to children in need. Denotation: In the photo there is a photo of an eye, a baby who has...
