The medium shot (MS) establishes the emotion of the police,it mainly used to show the emotions of the lead cop but also of the other cops. this is used to show that they will follow their leader and are confident this helps the audience to understand the position of the police.
The long shot (LS) is used to help establish the movement of the car and what is happening and nicely accompanies the dolly camera movement. the way most of the image is blurred makes it seem as if every thing is happening in a blur. the long shot also helps with the showing the background and expressing the shock in the policeman.
The Medium close up (MCU) helps to establish his emotion and helps the audience understand the situation. also it helps set a certain tone without the character even speaking. the use of tilt camera movement shows that he is mildly disorientated and makes the audience feel as if they are in his situation.

ReplyDeleteEBI: Check the shot types carefully - I think the first one is medium close-up and the last one is a close up. It's debatable but make sure you can back up your selection!
LR: Why did the director choose the alleyway location for the rest of this scene? Think about what it might suggest to the audience.
