Camera shots and film analysis

Hard Candy 




In the beginning of the film there is a chat room conversation between a girl and a man, at this stage we don't know whether the girl is young or old but from her name we can assume that she is 14 years old as her name reads "Thonggrrrl14", the male in the conversation seems to be a lot older than the girl he is speaking to as we can also assume this from his name 'Lensman319' the fact that he's name has 3 numbers in it and is in in the 100's suggests that he is of a greater age. 'So we should finally hook up, baby', suggests they have been talking for a while. The little girl is so sure of herself when she says 'NOT a bay, I keep telling you this shows that she is trying to prove herself and reassure him that although she is young she is up to his standards.  

In this shot the conversation continues on and the man gets explicit as he states 'only one I study is you' which suggest hes really into the little girl and has been studying her for a while.

In this shot the girl is cutting into tirumusa this implies that she is indulging and gaining pleasure from the cake. This could imply what she wants to gain from this man 


In this shot the little girl puts the fork in her mouth slowly and shuts her eyes which implies she is gaining pleasure from eating this cake. This is an sexual innuendo showing how she may feel about the man.


In this shot the girl is shot the girl looks up at the man, this is the first time she's seen him, the camera shot show the girl looking up at him which implies he has a higher status/ power than her or he is older then as her is standing up and she is sitting down.



Analysis of opening scene of takers movie

  The film I will be analysing is  the opening of 'Takers' it is an action movie.

In the beginning there is a an establishing shot of the actors this to shows all the characters and lets the audience know who the main actors of the film will be, It is set in a club in what looks like the VIP private part of the club this could mean that they are discussing business/ something important.
They are all dressed in black and white suites which also shows that they are there for an important business meeting or something of this sort.

The character Idris Elba plays is the only person dressed in a white blazer this shows that he infact may be the leader and the head of them all. As being dressed differently usually shows a higher status and power.
There is one character standing up and the rest are sitting down this shows that he is the leader of the conversation and he holds the most power.
They seem to be discussing money and business Paul Walker says "ghost doesn't play when it comes to money". This suggests that there is an antagonist who they are discussing.
There is an over the shoulder medium shot focusing on Micheal Ealy this shows him talking and what is in his hand he is holding a glass of alcohol.
There is a medium shot of Chris Brown which contains him in the scene and a bit of the background behind him there a glasses this again shows that they are in a club/bar. 
Zeo Slander is the only female in the scene there is a long shot of her kissing Micheal Ealy suggesting that she is there for the mens pleasure as there is nothing else she would be there for when they are discussing important business involving money.
