3. The scene I have chosen
• I have chosen the last scene in before I self
destruct.
• https://

• I chose this scene because the scene created
the emotions and events the film better
because the camera angles.

4. The effect on the camera angle
• At the being of that scene (00:02) their where
lots cutting rate, over the shoulder shot.
• This was a good choice of shots because the
scene had the couple arguing and the angles
can make an audience feel the pain of the
argument they are interesting. Make it feel
like they bare there.

5. Flashbacks
• Around 1min 20 secs there was a flashback
scene which had a black out, blur kind of
effect to 50 cents life. This is because he just
got shot and showing some memorable
moments in his life in a sad way, flashbacks
will be the best way to show this.
• They also used that special effect and they put
a emotional song in the background because
this will get the audience very into it.

6. Birds eye view
• In this bit of the scene around 2mins 23 secs
you can see 50 cent on the floor bleeding.
• In this scene they used a birds eye view as a
camera shot because it can make the audience
see the whole state 50 cent is in and they did
it while it was raining. This more effect
because rain symbolise sadness.
• The audience will get more into the film once
they see the birds eye view of 50 cent because
what happened few moments ago.
