shot types
here are 2 different shot types :
- 1st - Establishing shot
1st - Gives an overview of the setting (Gotham city) and denotes a reset in the storyline as this shot type is typically used at the start of a new 'chapter' in the story. Batmans positioning in the shot is purposefull as it connotes batman as a leader and shows power as he is almost 'looking over his kingdom'. The over the shoulder angle in this scene captures the perspective of the subject and displays the relationship between the protagonist and the setting.
2nd - This long shot is used to once again show setting but also create an atmosphere in the scene as it is far enough away for us to partially see the background and the protagonist whilst also not being so far that we cannot see any detail. This certain shot connotes Batman as being fearless as he seems unfazed by the fire behind. furthermore the low angle shot denotes his supremicy as he seems to tower over us as the viewer. This shot also presents key components of the narratvive stage, (1 rising action - the fight), (2 climax - batman wins),
(3 falling action - car explosion and fire) (4 resilution - Batman leaves the scene victorious)
This is a very short and simple snippet of movement in the batman film however i feel it is a great display of it.
in the scene the camera cuts focus between the car in the background and bruce waynes face as he turns his head back towards the camera.
this simple head movement as well as the shift in focus onto his worried face shows his emotion and connotates bruce waynes sudden surge in panic and fear as he knows he must save the people.
