This shot establishes the location where the scene is taking places, with this tinted building in the centre of the frame it will track and zoom into the building but right now it is showing us alot of building establishing a city enviroment
The camera then zooms into our centre building and we get closer to the action in the scene, the closer we get the more we know which building we are going to be centred around, the track continues to move into the bulding.
Even closer to the building this suggest to the audience that the scenes will envolve this building. closer to the bulding still, suggesting the importance of this structure, also the reflections of the other buildings show us the speed of the camer awhich sets the pace for the scene
we zoom extemerly close to building with windows in the centre frame, this suggests we are going to a room of the building as we zoom closer in the non digetic sound is gaining pitch suggesting something will happen also, we are going inside the buiding to see our first character
The glass in one the window shatters and
we cut to another scene also the pitch frequency hits an ultimatum and then the glass breaks
the editing suggests this man broke the
window with his launcher, the mis en scene
clown mask represents a funny side
the humour is twisted. Also it hides the identity, the man just broke the window we suggests recklessness and unlawfulness
the camera does a slow pan of the man reloading, we egt to see the actions of the man as he loads some kind of gun, which reinforces the recklessness of the man.
he shoots a rope line to the next building, as he does this we see the rope shoot across, at a high speed the music has cut out at this point , we cut to the next scene
a man with a similiar mask is standing here which suggests he is in the same gang and/or a part of the same operation
the camera zooms slowly to the mask in
the hand of this character, the duffle bag suggests he has a major role in the operation
a closer zoom occours and a car pulls up
the man puts the mask on a gets inside
the editing cuts
back to the men in the window, they are
on the ledge suggesting they are exiting
the editing suggests they left and rope lined
to the place were the man fired his shot.
the scene cuts to another camer and it shows the men coming towards us and landing on the building
the scene cuts again to the car, we are lead
to believe our character on the street stepped into, because of the masks, they are talking
the scene flicks to the driver
and passenger of the car
We cut again to the men on the roof, in the previous scene they said, "we know why he calls himself the joker" and in this scene one man asks the other so who is the joker, the masks again represent the same operation
the men in the car exit the car and our charceter holding the bag looks around him. the camera pans accordingly
three men then advance into the building, editing and mis enscene tells us it is the same building as the men on the roof
the men run in the building firing there guns and shouting, we know now they are robbing somewhere, a bank probably
the scene cuts to a tiny office, in the building we know its in the building as we can here the same noises, and see the mask to the left, a new character appears in the centre of the frame suggesting significance
Narrative
all the way through the intor, there is a story, they are all hired by the joker a criminal mastermind
they all are killed one by one by a certain memeber of the group, we assume that the last man remaining is significant because of the fact he is the last and has kept all the money, therefore he has maintained survival through the bank robbery showing his intelligence, also he is the same charcter who they picked up on the street corner.
The close up of this mans face shows anger, and concentration
we know now hes going to do something
the second of the mask figures alive turns his gun, we see the close up as he talks
The editing continues with a hand held camera follwoing the perpetrators, we witness a gaurd being attacked and floored.
a shot is fired the masked man falls and the window to the office shatters, confirming the shooter and the shot
The camera changed angle and we see the hosatges being taken
My idea is to open with a similiar idea however without the guns and voilence. What i intend to go for is an incognito hand held silent version of this open that i have analyised, where this one may be very action packed i intend tio make mine i little mroe sneaky and silent theft. This will definitley cut down on the props and the mis en scene demostrated in the opening scenes of the Dark Knight.
Also the shots from this scene came from this scene will help beacause there is and element of silence up until the scene where there guns come into play. The camera ediiting will be easy to get quiet, as the volume can alwasy can be turned down on the camera
the bus comes through and kills the gunman, only one left
the camera tilts up to look at the man suggesting authority and power
A close up of the perpatrator, we can see him giving the bombs to the
a memeber of the perpetrators runs to cover in the next scene , he is fleaing from the manager
We see the men on the roof in a two reversed over the shoulder shot
our character shouts a threat and fires a shot a runs of bulletsout,
The man behind raises a gun we clearly hear the shot and the music raises
the masked figure hears this and we cut to the scene where he shoots him
We cut to a medium shot of the what appears to be the bank manager in his own office, he puts down his glasses suggesting he is going to act upon the events
infornt of the last shot , we cut to the secruity gaurd getting hit again,
the perpertrator seem to have control yet again
we see the hero die. as he falls to the bottom of the frame.
