9 shot analysis

This is our 9 shot analysis, from our chosen film - Focus. 

Shot 1: This shot was a tracking shot leading to shot two. We liked this shot as it establishes who the characters are and how the director wants them to be presented to the audience. From the shot travelling up, it shows the contrast between both characters.

Shot 2: This shot is continued from shot one as they walk into the main setting. The body language and facial expressions really show the protagonists feelings and again the contrast between calm and nervous.

Shot 3: We really liked this close up shot but also the length of the shot while he is talking.

Shot 4: Shot 4 is a shot reverse shot from the previous one. We especially liked this shot as it had a comical aspect as it contrasted to the length of the previous one.

Shot 5: This shot is also a close up of the man replying to her. again with a comical element.

Shot 6: This tracking shot as it sets up the beginning of the action, showing us the setting is a busy place. We also liked the bright colours of the clothing in comparison to the background making the shot more visually attractive.

Shot 7: This is an establishing shot. This is used to show how busy the setting is, and how easy it would be to rob someone. We like this shot as it really sets the scene and shows the viewer the atmosphere.

Shot 8: This is a mid-shot, we like this shot because the camera really really focuses on the actor, by blurring out the background. This makes the shot look sharp and more visually enticing.

Shot 9: We like this high angle shot, as it gives a good variety of shots to the audience. It also zooms closer in to the actors, clearly presenting the crime genre.
