Camera Techniques

I chose some of these shot types to actually show what is happening, like long shots and an establishing  shot. The first shot is establishing shot. Most productions use an establishing shot because it makes the whole project look more professional and really is the best way to show where the scene is or who is in the shot. In this case, it will be a shot of the police station just to identify that it is actually in a police station. The close ups in this production show are really to show the intensity of the whole scene and the emotion of both characters. The particular close up that stood out is the P.O.V because it showed how intense the scene was from Asad's perspective. The two shot's were some of my favourite shots because they show if the scene is relaxed or intense. In this case, the scene was tense because they invaded each other's personal space but not in an intimate way but an intimidating way. In general, the camera enhances the intensity of the scene and is used well to establish the situation.

Mis-En-Scene

I chose an office room to act as the police interview room because it is small, compact and had a computer connoting professionalism. I planned to have the room low key, in terms of lighting, to create a sense of mystery and danger, but due to complications the room was high key and lost some kind of atmosphere that the low key lighting would've denoted. The costumes would have had a bigger effect if they were more relevant but Asad's costume denotes a criminal because he is wearing a dark hoodie. The establishing shot in the start denotes that it is a police interview because its of a police station. 

Music

The music I have chosen is Run Boy Run by Woodkid because of its slow to fast dynamics in the tempo, especially in the start of the song. Also, it is quite dark in the start of the song but gets lighter at the chorus. The song could recreate the intense atmosphere I wanted to capture with the mis-en scene by only using the dark parts to the song.

Credits

Graphics

The end credits are simple and contemporary. They denote white text on a black background as the text rolls up the screen. This connotes the intensity of the whole scene and that it is not a comedy and is in fact an action/drama.
