Extract Practice : 24
From watching the extract the theme I received was that in strenuous situations, provoking someone isn’t the way to get what you want.
The extract constructs meaning through the sounds, with diegetic sounds when the brunette with the short hair, Nina is sitting in the chair and she couldn’t breath because the man with the short blond hair,Jake choked her. The sound from her choking constructs meaning by showing what happens after Nina provoked Jack, the outcome of her constructive ways. Another way, the extract constructs helpful meaning through the sounds is with the use of the dialogue. When Nina the “traitor” was demanding what it is she wants from Jack. This helps show how Nina acquires to agitate Jack while trying to get what she wants.
In addition, the extract constructs meaning with the use of Mis en Scene. To be more exact the props, the table that Jack threw, and the chair that Nina was sitting in when he pushed it back. This shows when Jack finally lost his temper with Nina. When he was fed up with what she had verbalized. The extract constructs meaning with the use of Mis en Scene with -in the set design. The set consists of Nina sitting down handcuffed with Jack across from her questioning her. This showed how Nina is desperate and powerless in the situation and Jim had the capability to grant her demands.
To continue, the extract conducts my theme’s meaning with its use of camera angles. The extract uses the low angle when Nina is talking to Jack telling him things he doesn’t want to hear, things that infuriate him. This helped show how Nina was provoking Jake. Also, with the use of the pan shot. This was used while the two were sitting in the questioning room going back and forth.This showed the hostility and tension that was involved in Jack and Nina’s exchange.
Lastly, the extract constructs my theme’s meaning with the editing that was used. The cross-cutting, between the questioning room and the other watching that was going on in there. This showed all the unease the others had watching the inquisition between Jack and Nina. The shot/reverse shot cutting back and forth between Jack and Nina showed each of them reacting to what the other said. This also showed the tension that was building up.
To recap the extract constructs my theme “ In strenuous situations, provoking someone isn’t the way to get what you want” with its use of sounds, mis en scene, camera angles, and editing. The sounds being Diegetic, and dialogue. The Mis en scene consisting of props, and set design. The camera angles including low angles, and pan shots. And the editing including cross cutting and shot/reverse shot.
