Camera angles and editing- natural born killers




Camera angles
Establishing shot shows where the scene is set, remote location fits in with the murders because the murderers can get away with it.
low angle shot shows the two men but makes it so that the audience cannot see what they are looking at creating suspense and anticipation. The policemen are sleezy and after the female so the low angle shot showes the men looking at her in awe as though she is an object.

Wide shot shows the contrast between the conversation the two men are having and the dancing in the background. It also shows how one set of action will effect the other set- showing they are joined in one shot and also joined in action and consequence. 


Also, the camera pans to the right slowly as the man on the right moves the newspaper from his face. As the camera reveals more of the shot, the man reveals more of his identity showing himself to the viewer.

Editing
A black and white shot is used at many times during the extract. This could be done because it is abnormal just like the murders taking place. It could also be used to represent the madness of the murderers. 

Once she has killed the man, the scene flashes back for a moment to when he was dancing. His face is full of laughter showing the contrast to his death and also showing the life that has just been taken away. The laughter and happiness mixed with the brutal and graphic killings fill the whole scene with a feeling of madness and this makes the viewer feel uncomfortable. 



In contrast to the black and white, special attention is paid to the specific colour green at different times in the sequence. 

Green has connotations of nature and life so using this shows a contrast in the lives being taken away in the scene
This is also a close up shot allowing the viewer to focus on the pie that looks unnatural and of a strange substance. This unusual thing and abnormality represents the strange abnormality of the brutal killings.
