Camera Work
-
Panning establishing shot shows surrounding environment
of flat which then zooms onto licence plate of car showing the nature of the
antagonists
-
Shot style changes to a handheld following shot
as the group of men enter the building running this creates a sense of tension
and intrigue as their rapid movement is at odds with the rest of the street
-
As the men enter the flat the camera pans around
to the door way of the bathroom where it lingers as the door is opened and a
moment of comedy is had as the door opens to an seemingly bewildered old man
-
A low down pan is used at one point to further
the tight packed nature of the small flat
-
As the man is seated a close up shot reverse
shot is used which builds intimacy and fear of the FBI agents
-
While the man is clearing up the camera pans
down in an almost pov like closeup that shows his attention is focused on a
small piece of paper which increases intrigue in the viewer
Lighting
-
Outside the apartment their is little use of
lighting as it simply shows and everyday scene
-
Once inside the apartment their is very little
light which creates large areas of shadow that increase the threatening nature of
the FBI agents
Sound
-
All digetic sounds no soundtrack is used
-
Some sounds such as the tire squeels in the
opening are amplified to draw audience attention but mostly sound is secondary
to the actions of the characters on screen
Editing
-
Pretty much standard nothing special chronological
Mise en Scene
-
The suits of the FBI agents are contrasted with
the stark white shirt of the man which furthers the sense of conflict between
the two
-
The setting is clearly period as the surrounding
set and the cars indicate this
-
The dialogue on screen mentions espionage which
intrigues the audience and makes them want to
watch on
