Man on fire
In man on fire, the 7 minutes of footage we watched had lots of different camera angles and shots. Some scenes were sped up to fit in with atmosphere of the club and the man running into the club. It had very low-key lighting because of the setting. When people were talking fast the close up of the characters were switching quickly too fit in all of the dialogue. There were some high angle wide shots so we could see all off the setting of the club and of everyone dancing. It also contained a split screen of 4 different scenes. Wide shot shows a rundown setting in the background of the frame. The sunglasses make him look a bit shifty, the audience wonders what he is doing there and if he is up to something. He changes his costume to show the audience that he isn't a villain but he is a gangster. The blue colour wash makes it seem more mysterious and shady. Most of the props were guns and a photo of the little girl who he was trying to find. The lighting flashes a lot to make it seem more fast paced. There is a P.O.V. shot where it shows what he is holding close up to the camera. There is an over the shoulder shot when Denzel Washington is interrogating his victim and the effect is to show that they are quite close together so it's kind of intimidating for the victim There are subtitles next to the person that's speaking to show how loud the place is. The bits that are subtitled are the bits that we need to focus on the most. When it slows down it does it to highlight important things happening. The camera pans to show the whole scene. They have overlaid two scenes on top of each other to fit in with it being a rave and to show that the people outside still aren't aware of what is happening. Flashbacks to give the audience important information.
