This document discusses camera techniques that could be used in a film adaptation of the opening scene from The Purge: Anarchy. It provides examples of high angle shots to make characters look small and vulnerable, low angle shots to make characters look powerful, and wide angle shots to emphasize an empty, deserted city setting during the Purge. Lighting techniques like back lighting are also discussed to make gang leaders look mysterious. The document aims to analyze visual elements that could be employed to effectively set the scene and convey relevant themes in just the first two minutes of the film.

1. Media film research: The purge
anarchy
Mac screenshot is broken so I had to
use my phone.

2. This part of the purge anarchy is right at the beginning of the film. This is good because it
gives the audience a good idea of what the film is going to be about. Seeing as I am only
doing the opening two minutes to a film, we would need to get the audience to
understand the storyline of the film.

3. Camera examples
This is an example of a high angle shot. We
might want to use a few of these because it
makes the subjects look small, weak and
vulnerable. Seeing as part of our film is
about two people trying to survive and
hide from a gang, we would need to make
them look small, weak and vulnerable just
like in this example.
This is an example of a low angle shot. We
might want to use this type of shot because it
makes the subject look big, powerful and
superior to others. In our film, we have two
leaders of a gang and we would have to make
them look big, powerful and superior just like
in this example with the protagonist holding
the gun.

4. Camera examples
This is an example of a wide angle
shot. This makes the setting look big.
In this case, it emphasizes how empty
and deserted the city is due to people
not wanting to die in the purge. We
could use this type of shot because
due to the gangs running the city,
nobody would be on the streets so
everything would be deserted.

5. Lighting
This is an example of back lighting. We
could use back lighting in our film to
make a subject look like a silhouette
and therefore making them look
mysterious. We would want the gang
leaders to look mysterious so that no
body has a clue what their back story
might’ve been.
