However, the scene soon switches to fast clips and jump cut to create the scene of a fight to the audience. The continuity edit at the start of him entering the gas station then switches to him filling up the car this gives the audience the idea that this is inside the gas station, this links to the mise en scene as we see the owner of the petrol garage wearing scruffy clothes and looking dirty.

  1) Write an analysis of the cinematography in the opening sequence.  Highlight  your use of media language and try to cover camera shots, angles and movement using the terminology we have learned in lessons.  Tracking shots that follows characters closely, close up shots to show facial expressions in detail, medium shots showing the amount of people, wide shots that show the geographical context, low angle shots show them as powerful and dominant  2) How does the camerawork give the audience clues about the setting, narrative and character? It emphasises the characters expression and emotions during tense times which allows viewers to connect with the emotions and feel the pain they are feeling.
