Camera work: Minority Report Shot-by-Shot Analysis


This is a a medium close up, showing the wasit up to the head. In this particular scene you can see around 6 policemen huddled together looking straight ahead of them, maybe hinting how they're after someone hence why there's only policemen in this current shot.. This could suggest how as they're all near the one policemen on the 
left connoting that he's perharps the leader/chief. In addition it could somewhat portray that start of an action scene as it also allows the audience have a little glance at their facial expressions, indicating the start of something; stern/angry faces.


This shot is an establishing/wide shot, which is currently showing the location, in this case showing a sort of alley way with a car placed in the middle. This allows the auidence to infer many things such as the one character on the bottom right who seems to be in a hurry to 'run' into this alley which they can then identify as the fugitive. In this wide shot the colour scheme seems different as it uses black, white, blue and grey to set the atmosphere inside this eerie alleyway- common streotype in sci-fi movies to create suspense.

Lastly, this is another medium close-up. Likewise to the first shot, there's only one character in this one which is the fugitive. This shot allows the auidence to have a moment with the main character as they get to have a look into the facial expression allowing them to understand how they're feeling in this current moment. This could make the auidence feel sympathy for him but at the same time hint that he's cornered by the policeforce furthermore adding to the plot overall.
