- What were the camera shot used for?
At the start of the scene Chris (Will Smith) is sitting at his desk working away, he looks like he is under a lot of stress. This is shown using a medium point of view shot of some one looking at Chris working. Then a man comes over and tells Chris to come with him. Then the camera pans across the room as Chris walked towards the interview room, this shows the audience where the scene is set. It then switches back to a point of view shot from one of the interviewers as Chris walks through the door the, this shows the audience what it would be like to be the interviewer and the first impressions they would get from the way Chris looks.
Match on action is then used when Chris goes to shake the boss’s hand. Then the boss tells Chris that Chris has a nice shirt and a little bit of conversation is started and shot reverse/shot is used when they speak to each other to show both characters point of view.
When Chris shakes the interviewer’s hands and the boss’s hand it is shown in a medium shot to show all the important characters in the scene. This introduces them to the audience watching the film.
When they all sit down it goes to a long shot from outside the interview room looking in to show what else is happening at this point in time outside the interview room. When they are sitting down it uses an over the shoulder shot when the boss speaks to Chris and does the same when Chris speaks to the boss, this is like shot reverse/shot and an over the shoulder shot put together.
The boss then tells Chris that he has the job and Chris starts to cry with happiness and it uses a close up shot on his face to show his emotions and show the audience that he is crying because he is so happy.
Then they all get up and it goes back to the long shot from outside the interview room in the office working area where Chris was before. Chris then leaves towards the door, just before he leaves the boss stops him and gives him back the money he borrowed from him early. It then does a close up shot on the money. It then goes back to a normal medium shot showing Chris walking out the door.
Chris then leaves and he walks across the office and its is panned along at his head on a close up, it is like a tracking shot. This is done to show that Chris is so happy he is in tears and it shows Chris’s emotions as he walks out the door.
The lighting in this scene has been done to look as natural as possible and look like a normal office area. The only extra thing they have done with the light is put more light on Chris because it is as if he is the chosen one.
In this scene the props used have been used to look like what would happen if it were in real life. The costume used in this scene is done to look realistic and as if they were everyday people at work. They wear typical work clothes, for example Chris is wearing his suit.
Looking at this scene will help me when I make my film because I will be able to look into what different shots and angles can be used for my film. For example over the shoulder shots during shot reverse/shot if I use any conversation in my film.
