Dark knight
Shots and actions
Single long establishing shot sets the scene in a city and
then surprises the viewer by having a window smash, which tells the viewer that
trouble, is occurring. Scenes cut between two events continuously throughout to
give the impression the events are occurring at the same time. Close ups show
the two bank robbers talking which is used very effectively to show this as
there is very little suggestion they are talking otherwise. A mix of medium and
close ups is used to show detail of the actions of the thieves, this draws
attention to what they are doing and expressions of the characters. At the
beginning the clips are fairly long but speed up as the action starts.
Mise en scene
The thieves’ costumes add an air of mystery to them and
raise questions among the audience as well as making the thieves easily
identifiable from each other. The lighting of the main customer area in the
bank is well lit as expected while the areas the other thieves are in has lower
level lighting to show they are outside of the area they should be in as if
they are ‘behind the scenes’ of the bank.
