Minority Report shot analysis

Shot description

Over-the-shoulder / medium-long shot

Shot explanationThe over-the-shoulder angle allows a point-of-view shot from the perspective of the man reading the newspaper. The medium/long shot allows enough background to establish the location as a metro train. The over-the-shoulder shot means the following shots, with the newspaper-reading man recognising the fugitive, are easy for the audience to interpret. The concept of a fugitive on a mission to clear his name is a classic Action Adventure quest narrative.

Mid shot/medium shot
Shot explanation
This shot is ONLY showing half of the characters body so there for it is a medium shot. It is used in this picture to show you the area the character is in and what he is surrounded in, in this picture the character is surrounded by lots of people that are trying to get on the ‘train’. Also the picture shows you what kind of position the character is in as you can see in this picture that character is in a escape position and looks as if he is going to be targeted.

Medium close up/wide shot
 Shot explanation
I think this image is a wide close up cause it is showing more than ONE persons face and it shows the persons body from  head to shoulder so that’s why I called it a medium close up. This picture shows the characters shocked as if they have found what they are looking for or surprised.

Shot description
Establishing shot
Shot explanation
This is and establishing shot because it shows you where the action is taking place.  This shot is a good shot to show the audience cause it shows you where most of the scene is going to be. I can tell this because if you looking the corner of the picture the character is in a running position from this you can infer that this is going to be a chasing scene.

 Shot description
This is an ant eyed view medium close up.
Shot explanation
I called this image an ant eyed view close up cause for a close up the image character or object has to be with in head to shoulder, as you can see in this image the character is placed from head to shoulder. I called this image and ‘ant eyed view’ cause that camera has taken this shot from the bottom of the characters body to make that character look strong and power full.

establishing Crane shot
Shot explanation
This is a crane shot because the image is off the ground and looks as if it is going to ‘swoop’ across the scene. This is an establishing shot because it is where most of the scene is going to take place.

 Shot description
Hand held close up
Shot explanation
I think this is hand held cause if you look closely on how the picture is angled you can see that it is a bit tilted and from that I can assume that it is being hand held- a hand held shot is never straight. It is a close up because it is showing most of the characters face than his shoulder; his shoulders are cut in half.

 Shot description
Close up
Shot explanation
I think this is a close up because the camera is focussing on that characters face and the way he is feeling from his facial expression.  As you can see on the characters face it is as if he is shocked and thinking that there is no escape-need to figure out a plan on how to escape the cops.

 Shot description
Ant eyed view mid shot-medium shot.
Shot explanation
I think this image is a ant eyed view shot because the image looks as if it is below the characters waste and also it is being used to show that all the characters in this scene are all powerful as each other-equal –strength. It is a mid shot because it is showing ONLY the characters head to shoulder- mostly the main character the rest of the characters are making there way into the picture.
