The document discusses techniques used in the film 12 Angry Men. It describes the genre as film noir, with conventions like smoking, rain and shadows. It notes an exposition where a character shows a photo of himself and his son, which explains his change in verdict. During scenes where one man holds a not guilty verdict, camera shots isolate him from grouped shots of others. The film takes place mainly in the confining jury room, represented by a table made of two joined together. Editing uses long takes in the beginning and faster cuts later as verdicts change more rapidly.
