camera
- there are long shots of destruction and panicking people to help create the atmosphere of the film and help set the scene for the audience by showing them where they are and what is happenign but at the same time throws them straight into the action.
- stedi cam helps create a more human like feeling to the story and makes you feel like you are acturally inside the action with them.
- there is also a close up on the man opening and taking something out the safe and giving it to a man later on in the scene. this shows there is something important about that object and creates enigma about what that object is
mise en scene
- from the set and the décor it suggests that the building is a political building because of the ornate Iraqe decor and dark posh cars and body guards.
- the lighting and colour of the scene is filmed in a reddy orange tint which complements the setting of being in iraqe as it has red sandy dirt and deserts and is the kind of colour that you would think of when thinking about Iraq and east Asian countries.
- the scene is also quite dark with only dim light that seems to come from the lamps lighting the scene. this also helps add to the dark atmosphere of the Iraq war
- the men are dressed in suits which helps show power and also supports the suggestion of the building being a political building.
- the body language and facial expression of the characters is very panicked and helps the audience understand how much of a terrible thing is happening.
sound
- you hear at the start over a military walkie talkie device that the war with iraq has started, this helps establish the scene and help the reader understand what is happening
- there is lots of diagetic sound of people, screaming, explosions, air raid noise, breaking glass,gun shots ect these help to create realism in the film and show that the destruction is going all around the area
- there are non diagetic sounds of a sound track that sounds like a drum beat and because of the constant drumming it helps create suspense and builds tension
- the editing was fast pace in the opening to this to show chaos and the speed of the acton to make the scene feel really action packed and dangerous. This is a differant opening to your normal film as straight from the start it is very fast paced and throws you straight into the action
editing?
