This image shows that it is an over the shoulder shot which is done to help establish the the audience the environment/setting in which the character is in. The camera is also handheld as it is shaking which denotes panic to the audience as the character may be in a rush or is running from something. This is also shown with the energetic soundtrack.
The shot used hear is a high angle shot as the camera is looking down on Bourne who is an already established hero. The high angle shot unnerves the audience as usually a high angle shot suggests that the character is vulnerable or in some sort of danger and from the earlier shot with the camera shaking we can connote that he is. Also the light at the bottom of the steps suggests that it is a possible escape rout as bright lights usually connote something good in a spy/Acton film.
This image shows a close up shot which is used show the facial expressions of the character. This close up show Bourne and how he denotes panic due to his facial expressions. The close up imply's that the facial expressions are important and because he shows panic it means he must be into a bad situation.
The shot used hear is a point of view shot (POV) as well as an eye-line match transition as we see Bourne look down the corridor to see what is there and then the camera shows down the corridor and shows the audience what Bourne was looking at. This is done to increase the intensity of the scene which is a key part of a spy/action film as it is one of the main reasons why the audience go to watch the film. The POV shot makes the film more intense as it puts the audience in the place of the character who is in danger.
This is also an eye-line match but is not a close up as the camera shows the + for the pharmacy and it zooms in on it which denotes to the audience that it is important. It is also a use of foreshadowing as it shows the audience where Bourne will go next as well as denoting that he is in pain as he is heading to somewhere with medical supply's.
A close up is used hear and it shows that Bourne is trying to get a needle out of the packaging and it also shows the audience that he has blood on his hands the blood denotes that he has been in some sort of a fight or has been hurt in some way which worries the audience as he is the protagonist of this film franchise. The close up is also used once again to show facial expressions accent this time Bourne denotes that he is in pain not that he is fearful.The fact that Bourne denotes pain worries the audience just like the blood does.
A close up is used hear but it is also a POV as it when Bourne runs the tap in real time it gives him a flashback of what he experienced with water. The fact that the camera is shaking connotes that he may be panicking or be being held in the flashback as it is a POV shot and Bourne appears to have little control over what he is doing.
This image is of a handle covered in blood and due to the fact that Bourne is bleeding the audience are expecting that it is the pharmacy which Bourne is in. The blood is noticed as a close up is used to denote that it is important. We see that a man opens the door and he is holding a gun and therefore this makes that audience think that it is the people who were following Bourne, this creates suspense as it makes the audience think if Bourne will be caught or not.
This is an over the shoulder shot which is looking at Bourne over the shoulder of two of the soldiers. The fact that Bourne is not looking at them suggests that he dose not know that they are there. This makes the audience panic as they feel that Bourne may be caught by the soldiers. Also the fact that Bourne is in the light and the other characters are in the dark suggests that he is a good character and that they are not which is already established due to Bourne being the protagonist of this franchise but it is a constant reminder that he is good.
Finally the last shot is an over the shoulder short of one of the soldiers looking at Bourne as the other one was taken out by Bourne. The shot denotes that the characters will have some sort of interaction and they do as Bourne talks to the man. However they speak in a foreign language and there are no subtitles. This is done to create tension as the English speaking audience don,t know what the characters are saying so they have to make connotations from the facial expressions of the characters. Also the use of a gun denotes violence will or has occurred.
From doing this research I have gathered some useful information which I will use in my part of the opening sequence. This includes: High angle shots connote vulnerability, over the shoulder shots imply interaction between two characters, shaky camera movements denote panic and that POV shot make the scene more intense as it place the audience in the characters position. There are all different types of camera movements and shots that I will try to add our opening sequence.
