TRANSCRIPT
We see a track back medium shot, which leads to a point of view shot, and
we hear Asynchronous sound of people speaking nearby. The medium shot is used to show Identity and to show the location behind him, while the
track back is to show that he is walking, and the Asynchronous is used to remind the audience that he is near the city centre. This shot give the
impression that the character might have a memory about the alleyway he is facing and also makes the audience wonder what is going to occur in the
next shot.
We see a straight cut to point of view shots, which also tilt
up, and we hear a diegetic sound of the wind. The point of view shots are used to show what the character is looking at
in his perspective while the tilt up is used to show the reality of the film as the character starts looking at the floor
first then slowly looks up across the alleyway, the point of view is specially stylised to do the motion what the
character does. These point of view shots make the audience feel as if they are the character at this moment, as
they will follow the motions that the camera does.
After the point of view shots we see a medium close up with a flash
effect added on. The medium close up is used to show face expressions from the character, while the flash effect is used to show that the
character could possibly have a flashback of memories to do with the alleyway, however it isn’t clear that he could be thinking of memories as
the shot is subtle. This shot make the audience wonder what the characters memories will be and also makes them think that the
characters mood isn’t understandable.
After the flash transition goes off we see a variety of jump cuts with a non-‐diegetic
clock ticking and a “boom” sound added over the top, and we also see a colour effect. These jump cuts are used to show how time flies by in the flashback shots
and the colour effect is used to show how the characters past life was colourful and now it’s dull and miserable. The colourful flashback shots are juxtaposed with
the cigarette as the location looks colourful and happy but he is smoking so therefore it causes a bad atmosphere. However the non-‐diegetic “boom” sound is
used to make the shot seem very jumpy and also makes the shot look very fast and helps with the effect of time going really fast in this flashback, while the clock
is used to show that this is the past and therefore it isn’t the real life. This makes the audience see the character bad side and also shows them that the character
has two different sides.
We see still medium shots of the character shaking his head and walks away. This shot is used to capture the face expression the character has and
also shows what he does after seeing his flashbacks. This make the audience see the difference in the character as he was a bad person in the
flashbacks but in reality he looks lonely and weak.
