The sequence I chose is from the action film 'Wanted'. The
sequence is of a character being sniped down unsuccessfully and then being shot
from a planned space by an unknown person who is revealed.
The sequence starts with a headshot of the sectary followed
by character A' running from a lift and jumping from one building to another.
He takes out two guns and shoots the snipers on the top of the building. The
camera changes from in front of character A to behind him to show the different
perspectives as he runs down a corridor and then back up it. The camera follows
him as he runs, and he is shown from the rooms of the corridor. A long shot
establishes the setting as he jumps out of the closed window. As soon as he
pulls out two guns it goes into a MS and goes to a CU (reverse shot reverse) of
the victim then back to the killer.
The camera then pans up and tilts to a CU of a builder
sniper, he is then shot in the head from behind and
Character A is
revealed. Character A's hand reaches
into the snipers back pocket and gets a mobile phone out. There is an ELS bird's
eye view of character A and then cuts into a CU of him on the phone. The 'X' is
revealed and a zoom out is used from a CU into an ELS. The next shot is a CU of
character A with a bullet coming out of his head. As the bullet exits the
camera pans around it and then follows the bullet, panning and turning the
camera each time. It goes in front of
the bullet and then behind to show movement. There is a MLS of the bullet
entering the barrel of a sniper.
Character B' is then revealed and because the camera
followed the bullet back in time, it reveals the killer as Character B' and
shows his final words to Character A before pulling the trigger.
