The Purge begins with an established shot of a man shooting
another man and as he falls to the floor the man runs away. It
goes on to show different crimes such as fighting in groups in the
street; this is all shown as CCTV footage. On each shot in the
corner it tells us where the footage is from e.g. Syracuse,
Jacksonville and Huntsville after that It tells us the time and date.
You can see that the day and month is always the same 03/21 but
the date of the year goes up from 2017 to 2021, this tells us The
Purge is an event occurring every year from 7:00 PM on March
21st till 7:00 AM on March 22nd. . At the top of each scene it says
‘Purge Feed’ this tells the audience this is what the purge is and
showing the different shots of what goes on in them 24 hours.
Another one of the shots is Aerial shot looking down at a gang of
lads fighting at a high angle. All clips are very fast and show a lot
of establish shots so you can see the movement of the characters
and see the victims you begin to see what the film is about and
how violent ‘The Purge’ is. On some clips there are slow zooms
and canted framing to follow what is happening as the criminals
rub away. By showing a fire it shows arson to a building that is on
fire and outlines of people’s body running around with objects in
their hands witch look like bats and poles. Most of the clips you
see are from a high angle view due to the fact it’s filmed from
CCTV which means it would be on the top of a building or post
because all footage is all based outside. Even fast shots of people
lay dead in a line on the floor being shown in an aerial shot. With
crime such as arson to buildings and cars, shootings, gang crime it
gives you examples of what the film going to be about and what
genre it is.
