The theme of the extract 24, is a
crisis situation. A man is interrogating a woman who appears to be connected to
the potential attack. He is trying to find out where the bomb is located. As
well as trying to get information to stop it from detonating.
In the beginning, the extract starts
off in the first location where a woman is at. The interrogation room is used
for the majority of the scenes where the woman is being held, to show that an
urgent matter is taking placed since serious questions are being asked and need
to be answered quickly in this location. Next, a zoom is used to get a close-up
of the woman’s face who is being interrogated to show that she has something to
do with the crisis and is important to the situation. Then, an eyeline match is
used of the man looking over, which then cut to a shot of the camera in the
room shows that he is making sure the interrogation is being recorded, and that
the observers are watching. There is then a cutting of the shot showing the
woman going to the shot of the man interrogating which manifests the intensity
of the interrogation going on and how they are going back and forth.
In the middle of the extract, the
first thing shown is a two-shot. The two-shot is of the observers watching the
interrogation on the monitors shows that something serious is going on and that
many people are involved and needed. Then, a clock is used as a prop in the
extract to help the director’s vision. The clock is used to point out what the
woman was looking at to show that more and more time is going by until the
crisis situation of the bomb detonating happens. After that, the dialogue
begins in the scene. Dialogue is used between the man and woman in the
interrogation room to show what is being talked about between them, which gives
information on the crisis situation. The final thing displayed in the middle of
the extract is a sound bridge. The sound bridge at the end of the scene with
the two observers, leading into the scene with the man interrogating in the
woman’s face shows how the two scenes are going on at the same time and how the
observers are watching what is going on as it happens. The sound bridge carries
over from one scene to the next in the middle of the extract.
Towards the end of the extract, more
is going on and happening more quickly. The hand and ankle cuffs were used on
the woman to show that she was being held which also made the interrogation
more serious since she was locked up. The woman being locked up emphasizes that
she knows information on the potential attack and possibly how to stop the bomb
from detonating. This helps the director get his/her vision across. Next, there
is a split screen of the man choking the woman in the one screen, and the
observer and security people running to the interrogation room in the other
screen, which shows they can’t let him kill her since they need her for
answers. After this, incidental music is used as the woman is being choked and
the security is running towards the room to show that the scene is intense and
something very serious and urgent is taking place. It adds on to the serious
situation about the bomb that is going to be detonating. The last thing
observed at the end of the extract was a long shot. The long shot of the man
that was just choking the woman shows that he let go and stopped when the
people came in and told him to stop. He was frustrated since he was getting
answers from the woman about the bomb attack that was going to be happening
soon.
Overall, the director’s vision is
that there is a crisis situation on and the actors need information on the bomb
that is going to detonate in a short period of time. All of the camera angles,
shots, movements, editing, sound, and mis en scene helps to show that this is
the director’s vision. These intensify and make the scenes seem more urgent and
show that a serious matter is taking place. The interrogation also shows that
the woman is a key to finding information out about the potential attack, which
is apart of the director’s vision.
