Camera Shots/ Angles

Here we used a shot on the television of the character Saeed playing a violent console game where the character can be seen to be blowing up various different objects, a foreshadowing scene of what is to come.

In this shot we used a medium long shot from behind one of the characters when he was opening the door. We believe that this was effective as the window on the door slightly blurred the audiences vision of what the character may look like and also his features, we believe that this and the combination of the dark lighting helped us to achieve the ideal atmosphere needed for a thriller film, also helping us to follow the mise en scene. When editing this scene we used blurred some of the images within the scene to make the scene feel as if it was a flash back.

In this shot we used a medium close up to identify a new character. We filmed the character behind bars, as if almost this also a foreshadowing event as it is later found that this character and two other were involved in criminal activity. The contrast was also tinted lighter as when researching how different colours affect people, we found that colours such as amber, red and yellow suggest danger, thus we took the initiative to tint the scene orange to suggest fore coming danger.

Here we used a medium close up of the side of the mysterious hooded figure, to conceal the identity of the character so the audience are not completely aware of who this character may be or what his alter motives may be.

Here we utilised a point of view shot of the mysterious detective who has his head on the table, during this shot the camera was swaying to indicate that something was wrong with the character, suggesting that he may have been attacked. On the far right we had some natural lighting coming in through the window but not completely. Here we wanted to suggest that the character may already feel as if he is in prison during his interrogation. The mysterious detective once again has his face planted downwards, as he is trying to conceal his identity .

In this shot we attempted a low angle shot to partially show the detectives face, whilst also managing to partly keep his identity concealed.

This shot utilised a close up shot of the character Saeed, as he is given a proposition on whether or not to work for a secret service to conspire against his own associates. We wanted to capture the character's facial expressions and emotions when given this information.

 In order to keep the audience constantly involved within the opening we also decided to use a fast paced panning shot which followed the phone as it was passed along the desk, as the character Saeed becomes aware of what his actions have led to.
