CAMERAWORK AND EDITING : MINORITY REPORT ANALYSIS


Camerawork and editing: Minority Report analysis




Medium close up ( MCU )


The medium close up shot allows the audience to see the facial expressions of the characters but also allows us to see the background so we are still able to see some of the action happening within the scene. In this scene we can see that the leading man at the front is clearly very serious and concentrated also quite worried as he has to arrest his boss. Also the fact that there are so many officers trying to catch one man builds tension. Therefore the audience will be curious to see what will happen and anticipated to see the action of chasing him. 



ESTABLISHING SHOT ( ES )

This is a long shot of an abandoned car in an alley way. The long shot allows the audience to see where the action will be taking place. The alleyway is very dark which creates a negative feel which foreshadows that something bad might happen in the next scene.



CLOSE UP ( CU )hhb

This shot allows the audience to identify the main character also the use of this close up allows the audience to see the emotion on the character therefore the audience can relate/ understand his feelings. From this shot the we can see that he is clearly angry or annoyed of the fact that the officers are approaching him.This builds up tension for the audience as they interpret that something bad will happen.
