Training Day

In our storyline there is a scene where a car is involved, however me and my partner realized that shots are going to be hard to create in the environment of a car as inside the care is a relatively confined environment. We looked at movies where gangsters where involved and found that Training Day had the most useful shots that will help establish the setting and get good view angles of the characters inside the environment.  The shots in Training day vary from low-angle shots to two shots to close-up shots, all these shots me and my partner found would be useful to use in our scene to help show the status of the characters in the situation that there in whilst in the scene.

Another reason why we also opted to research Training day was because of various bedroom scenes that are implemented in this film. There are in particular close up and extreme close up shots in and out of focus that show the element of confusion on the characters face and by distorting the image the audience is as confused and anxious as the protagonist. Our idea originally was for a bedroom scene to take place where the protagonist is woken up by an alarm or phone call of some sort. This movie helped enhance our creative ideas of what shots to use during this scene and how the focus on the lens is used to add effect.
