This “Over The Shoulder Shot” follows Detective Hanna as he fires his FN FNC-80 Rifle at one of the bank robbers, (Shiherlis) as he climbs aboard the getaway vehicle. This OTS Shot follows up a gunfight between the bank robbers and the police detectives, they both where exchange gun-fire. Through this OTS the audience can see the environment/surrounding that the Detective is seeing as he fires at the Robber. It gives us a chaotic feeling of what is going on.
This shot is known as a “2 Shot”. There are 2 people in this
shot, Sergeant Drucker with his Mossberg 590 Shotgun and Detective Casals with
his M16A1 (fitted with a M16A2 Handguard) aiming at the bank robbers. This shot shows
the 2 detectives clearly aiming their weapons at the getaway car, it creates a
feeling of excitement and anxiety on what’s going to happen next. This shot
follows the 2 detective as they run, following the getaway car and shooting at
it.
This shot is the “Shallow Depth Of Field”. It isolates the
LAPD Officer who’s aiming his Beretta 92FS Handgun at the bank robbers. He is
the centre of attention in this shot. Since he is the only one in this shot, it
focuses on his facial expressions and the feeling of not knowing what is going
to happen next, is he going to get shot or not. He seems scared and focused at
the same time. The shot exemplifies that feeling.
The shot in this snap is the “Big Close-Up”. It shows a
close up on one of the bank robbers (Shiherlis) wielding his Colt Model 733.
The shot zooms in on the robber as he exits the banks and fires on 2 FBI
Detectives advancing on him. He looks calm and steady as he aims, he doesn’t
rush or hurries his actions, and he simply does this by instinct. The facial
expression on this man’s face is like of a cold blooded killer, he doesn’t
express anything on his face has he pulls the trigger. It gives an audience a
sense of fear. If you were on the other side of the gun getting aimed at by
this man, who has no fear, no emotions on his face, just a blank expression,
wouldn’t you be scared?
This shot is known as the “Bird’s Eye View.” In this scene,
one of the bank robbers (Michael Cheritto) wields his IMI Gaili ARM as he aims at the
hostages trying to get them on the floor. It is used to show some of the
aspects of the environment such as the hostages and the Robber. It shows the
power between the both of them and who is in-charged. It gives a wider view of what is happening
inside the bank and specifically targets on (Michael Cheritto) and the
hostages.
This shot is called “Very Low Angle”. In this snapshot, the
leader of the bank robbers (McCauley) gets up onto the stands. Since this is
shot at a location where (McCauley) is higher than the horizon of the camera,
it signifies that he is in power while the people below are powered by him
(powerless). It gives a sense that he is now in control of people’s lives below
him.
This shot is the “Long Shot”. This is often used in scenes
where the character, in this case Detective Hanna, tries to intercept the 2
surviving bank robbers who are trying to flee the scene. His body language is
easily seen and he looks serious and cautious as he moves towards the robbers,
rifle in hand. It increases the tension and anxiety in the scenes to come.
This shot is commonly known as the “Point of View” or POV
for short. This shot is a POV because it is take from the bank robber’s pov,
inside their now shot up getaway car. It shows the audience what’s ahead of the
bank robbers as the car skids un-controllably towards the parked cars and the
police roadblock ahead. It gives the audience a sense of fear as the scene
continues to go POV and inches closer to the parked cars, resulting in a crash.
This are one of the scenes that makes the audiences jolt back, it creates a
nervous/scared effect for the audience.
