As a group we decided to look at past students work and analyse it by using microelements such as; camera movements, the mise en scene, editing and sound.
The AS opening sequence starts with quiet and intense non-diagetic music, which is commonly used in spy movies. The opening sequence starts with the group logo, which is then shortly followed by a loading sign, which is also used in spy movies this suggests that this short opening sequence involves action and spying. The first scene starts with the diagetic of typing and a close up of someone typing. The mise en scene is low-key and dark lighting, which suggests that the person typing is doing some very important work. There is then another close up of the computer screen the camera frame shows an intelligence report. There is then a quick edit cut the non-diagetic music cuts to busy street noise and the camera frame shows a bus. There is then another cut back to the dark room and the person typing and then another cut from the inside of the bus from the point of view of a passenger. The scene then cuts back to an over the shoulder shot of the anonymous person typing showing the screen and then a close up of a baby monitor the camera frame shows the person picking up the baby monitor and placing it back down however, in this scene there are two diagetic sounds created by a person typing and a baby crying, which suggests that something bad is going to happen. There is then a wide shot of the bus with the diagetic noise of a busy road in a city followed by a panning shot. There is yet another edit cut back to the room and a close up of the baby monitor and the crying getting louder. There is then another cut of a panning shot of the camera following the bus followed by another close of the baby monitor and the diagetic sound of the baby crying continues. Within this scene there is another close up of the computer screen with a notification popping up as the diagetic sound of the baby crying continues and slows dies out. The scene then cuts back to a slow panning shot and as the camera stops there is an explosion follow a loud bang. The use of quick editing warned the audience that something bad was going to happen. The next scene then starts with news reports and the diagetic sound of news reports continues throughout the whole scene. The use of dialect suggests that the news reporters are commenting on the number of deaths and stating the facts and figures. There is a wide shot of recovered CCTV footage of the accident a high angle shot of roads a split screen of the reporter and the incident. There are then a wide shot of the roads and a quick jump cut to another wide shot the use of different camera angles and different stories suggests there are different views on the story. There is then a half tracking shot of the camera following the ambulance. There is then a close up o the accident then camera then quickly zooms out and across the camera frame police tape is shown this suggests that the accident was very dangerous and has recently happened so people are not allowed to close. There is then a close up of the police officers assuring the audience that they are quick to respond. There is then another wide shot the mise en scene is very dark, and is shot in a bedroom, which suggests its very early morning or late at night. The camera moves towards the alarm clock, which goes off at 5:00 the diagetic beeping noise of the alarm clock gets louder. The camera frame shows one of the characters switching it off, getting out of bed and leaving the room, which suggests they have to do something important, as it is very early morning. The camera frame then shows the main character working out the use of jump cuts suggests that a lot of time has passed and the fact that he has to work out in the morning suggests that he has an athletic job. The next scene then shows a close up of kettle and pouring water into a mug. There is then a jump cut of the character putting on a jacket, which is followed by a upwards tilt shot showing the full character for the first time which suggests he has a high profile job and needs to hide his identity. The next scene starts with a wide shot focusing on the British flag, which is in the centre of the camera frame, which suggests he works for the country. There are then panning shots and wide of iconic buildings in the UK. Which suggests the accident took place in London. Within this scene there is a quiet and simple non-diagetic sounds created by music to create suspense. The next series of shots follows the boy walking. There is a wide shot of the boy walking towards the camera followed by a high angle pan of him walking and a wide shot from the back of him walking again, which keeps the audience on edge because anything could happen at any time.
