the opening camera shot is a wide long shot of a character this allows the viewer to identify where the actor is and what is going on in the scene. there is a fast beat music played in the background which is the dominant noise however the surrounding noise e.g. the door opening you can still hear however it is more faint than the music making the music the dominant noise, the noise creates tension amongst the this makes the viewer guess that a fight scene is about to happen or something dramatic the noise sounds like someone is sneaking around trying (like a spy) this makes the audience feel like there is something secretive going on or that someone is trying to sneak around without being seen. the camera then focuses on the character viewing the back of his head in a medium shot the audience still hasn't seen this actor so suspicion has arose of who this character might be the camera keeps his head in the centre of the frame suggesting he could be the main character, as the character turns his head the camera zooms in for a close up to show the audience the characters expressions (in this case shock/surprise), when the camera shot changes to another character looking also shocked and surprised this gives the audience the impression that the first character was looking at the second character. the fight scene then begins and the camera shots of the two characters suddenly gets faster suggesting to the audience that it is a action film also the shots getting quicker gives the viewer the impression its fast pace. the first character beats up (at first) the second character then as the second character is laying helplessly on the ground (tension has risen alot at this point) the first character then says "bad move grandpa" releasing the tension through a joke like line the second character then does the same thing later on when he has the first character pinned down (the tension is once again high) and says his joke like line which is meant to release the tension and show that that character has won the fight. at the end where the second character jumps through the window the shot is slowed down so the viewer can witness all the glass shattering and fully experience what it would be like in that situation. the first character finds a gun and pulls it out to shoot the second character which raises the tension for the audience because the audience don't want the second character to die so they want him to get away and not shot. as the second character escapes and exits the scene the first character loses him so now the fight scene is over the audience know this because the music stops and the scene ends with a line from the first actor. the last shot is of the first character in a medium low angle shot, the camera angle suggests to the viewer that he is powerful and because he has a gun in his hand the audience associate the first character as a negative character (the bad guy) and the second character as the good guy because the second character is weak and has to flee the scene. the medium shot allows the viewer to witness where the change of scene is now but at the same time close enough to see the body language of the first character. the light in the last scene is generated by the lights on the ceiling highlighting the character in the centre of the scene suggesting he is the main character in the film it also lights up the wall and door grabbing the viewers attention and telling them where the scene is now set.
