Shot By Shot






Shot one:

Medium Close up (MCU)
The medium close up allows the audience to see around the character but also the characters facial expressions or emotions. It also establishes the location in which the character is , in this case an dark abandoned alley. The faces of the characters show anger and amazement. The surroundings which the audience is shown is like they are all trying to corner and catch someone which here is Tom Cruise. This type of close up also shows the clothing which the characters are wearing but in detail. These characters are wearing body suits and helmets so the audience would be thinking that they are the authority.





 Shot two:

Establishing Shot (ES) Long Shot (LS)
The establishing shot enables the audience to understand the exact location in which the part of the movie is set. In this case it shows a car surrounded by old looking buildings, although this could also be a long shot because its close enough to tell the audience that all of the focus is on the car. The reflection of light that shines off the car but then there's no light on the buildings making them look gloomy and makes it look like an enclosed space.




 Shot three:

Close up (CU)
This shot allows the audience to see the characters exact facial expressions up close. Any emotion that he shows or any looks that he gives would be seen in detail by the audience. In this case the characters emotion is unsure or confused. Only the shoulders and face of the characters is shown making it a common close up. Due to this type of shot we can see that the person in the shot is being corners or obstructed by many people.
