Bourne Identity

At the start of the clip it uses a mid-point shot this is so they can follow the character as well as seeing the police officer behind him. Continuing from this they use a low angle shot to get the hand cuff in there and to make the character (Bourne) seem powerful. Next there is a close up this is to see the character emotions and what they are feeling at this moment they do this by zooming in on his face to add to the tension. Then it goes to a point of view shot to show what people are doing this shows people backing away showing that they are afraid of him and he is a threat making him powerful. After this it then goes to a bird’s eye view shot to see the fighting easier, people gasp as they are in shock, music starts to play to add to the intensity. Subsequently it goes to a point of view shot but it is a high angle shot to show that the people are vulnerable to the character and they look weak. Also there is an extreme close up to show what the character is picking up as it is crucial information for the audience.
