The Imitation Game Opening Scene Analysis

Camerawork
- opens with a close up pan on cumberbatch's character
- cuts to wide pan which is obsured showing the secure nature of the room the character is in
- this shot is obscured as interviewer walks in front of it
- shot of interviwer entering room
- two shot of interviewer standing while other character sits
- snap on sound on files hitting desk
- montague of destruction in Cumberbatch's characters flat
- when telephone is used cut to interior of Secret Service shows them listening
- follows assistant through corridor using mid shots
- high up mid shot as assistant walks across room
- mid shot of man at desk
- close up on papers showing that hes been arrested


Sound
- soundtrack throughout is not distracting to audience so they focus on the voiceover of cumberbatch's character and the dialogue of those on screen
- sound used for snap cut (files)

Lighting
- dingy lighting in interview suggesting squalor
- other than that nothing much simply shows period

Editing
- aformentioned snap cut only major thing other than that mostly just for continuity

Mise en Scene
- clearly sets period through costume setting and props
- other than that nothign special
