Chapter 6 Review Presentations

 

In this scene from National Security (2003) we witness the way a movie or scene is open regularly with is the use of and establishing shot which gives the audiences the location of the scene. Next we see a medium shot which gives viewers who is in the scene. Finally their are the close up shot which are usually used to show expressions.

 

In this scene from the film Heat (1995) it uses a very strange way of starting a certain scene. The director uses a series of close ups to start the scene rather then an establishing shot. By doing this I does not give the audience a clear view of where the characters are in regards to setting. But it gives the scene an element of suspense because it uses many close up shots to show the audience that their is tension.

Both of these scene show the two different ways in which a scene is opened and how that scene is introduced to the audience. I feel that any scene should be opened with an establishing shot because it gives the audience a better understanding of what is happening.
