Story/ plot
A fair intro of the story is told, just aslight introduction to get a idea to theaudience of what is happening from thefirst set of transitions you can gatherthat there is a conversation betweentwo main characters which then leads
on and cuts.
Transitions: 20
Mood: the style of the film builds a slow
pace mood of the theme, the chill feeling
in the film set that there is something envy
between the characters. Also the use of
editing uses a black and wh
ite effect toshow a flash back meaning this has already
has happened. From the flash back you
can identify how the characters are
represented to the way of their personality
and behavior.

CharactersTaking a look at the positioning of the character
who looks like a important male as he is seated inleather seat with a suit, also the shadows used
around him shows that he is some one important
as every thing is hidden of apart ofhis face. The
shot used is a medium shot, not only does he look
dominant but he seems like he is in control as he
is ordering th
e oth
er ch
aracter. His cloth
ing issmart, casual only people with a occupation
would wear such clothing, also they way he is
seated is really relaxed and laid back from this you
can notice he is the main character (hero)
The other character is more concernedabout his position as him and the hero
come to a debate, which ends in a one-
sided argument as you can see the villain
tries to shot the hero, this might suggest
that the villain has more power as a gun
signifies power but the hero has alreadyempty the gun before him entering the
room which would represent the hero to be
smart. You can notice that the this the
villain as he is trying to kill the hero also the
camera shot used is a close up so you can
catch
h
is face expression as you can seeh
elooks worried.
