makes you think if this character has any significance. A high angle was used to
show a character at the bottom of a staircasein the corner holding a gun which
could tell us that he is looking for someone. Medium shotis used to show
Nicholas Angel sat at a desk talking to the head of the police office.
Sound: The sound at the start had minimal music to it. Itwas the main
character Nicholas angle who commentated over it all whilstthe montage was
going on. This had an effect as we then clearly knew who the main character

background music allowed you to hear clearly whatNicholas angle was saying

happened in the past.
