Face off
This first shot we see of a man with some sort of sniper
rifle creates the enigma, and that is because he has a moustache which usually
shows us that he is rather mysterious, and also the camera shot never actually completely
reveals his whole face along with his hair, and we can remember a lot of people
by their hair. After this, he peers into his lens and we catch a shot of what
his target is, and we see a man with what it looks to be like his son. From
this we can tell that he is a villain due to the fact he is obviously pointing
a gun to a father and his child and is also created as a mysterious character.
The mysterious man goes on to shoot the father and then
realises he has hit his son too, but when he takes a look to see what has
actually happened, we see the shock on his face as he notices he killed the boy
and just injured the dad.
David - you have completed 2 of your 4 openings. Still 2 to do. A couple of relevant points regarding enigma and restricted narration through camerawork.
ReplyDeleteTo improve, you also need to consider all 4 technical codes - how the sound, camerawork, miss en scene and editing all combine to create meaning.
Level 1/2 for this one.
