9 Key Frames

These are my 9 key frames that accompany the prequel screenplay. Each picture represents a key event that is essential to the narrative, which is also my MACRO study for the film I'm studying  in my textual analysis - Harry Brown.

Shot 1.Medium angle, medium shot of both Tommy and John, with them both together this pictures conveys they have a sense of territory over the estate they are in. The use of levels and proximity also shows a sense of friendship in the shot By having this shot, the next shot appears as if Len is invading into the thugs territory.

Shot 2. Medium angle, wide long establishing shot of both thugs (Tommy and John) along with teenage boy (Len) walking. Tommy and John appear more prominent by taking up more of the shot. The wide establishing shot helps show location of the estate (congruent as being a continuing aspect from the original film) and the medium angle on all characters represent the neutral position they have in-terms of their power. 

Shot 3. Low angle, over the shoulder shot of both Tommy and John intimidating Len. The low angle shows Tommy and John's power over Len and the over the shoulder shot shows Lens point-of-view as he's being submissive looking up at Tommy and John - the dominant characters, this also helps foreshadow what is to come.

Shot 4. Medium angle, medium shot on Len getting wallet robbed by Tommy and John. The prominence of the thugs represents Len's lack of power and also creates a more omniscient atmosphere in which all characters are being looked at, this shot still shows the power of Tommy and John with them being more prominent and the use of levels in the shot to convey their power.

Shot 5. Low angle, medium shot on Harry Brown walking in the road. The low angle shows Harry's power and conveys to the audience he's on the same level of power as Tommy and John. The mid-shot also shows his significance as he appears very prominent in the shot. 

Shot 6.Low angle, medium shot on Harry punching Tommy who has his hands on Harry. The medium angle close-up brings out the facial expression and tension levels between Harry and Tommy. The low angle shows Harry's dominance over Tommy, also combined with the use of levels, the shot conveys Harry's superiority.

Shot 7. Medium angle, wide shot of Len and Harry looking at one another from sides of the road. The medium angle captures both characters looking at each other with equal eye level, and this also helps in establishing a relationship between both characters as they both do this action simultaneously.

8. Low angle, medium close-up on Harry’s punching John. The low angle confirms that Harry has gained power over both thugs and the medium close-up establishes facial and physical expressions of both characters in reaction to the punch.

9. Medium angle, medium close-up on Harry and Len together  whilst Len goes to shake Harry’s hand,  he smiles. The medium angle shows Harry and Len being on the same level of power and the wallet in shot establishes Harry as a vigilante taking the law into his hands and getting the outcome he proposed for.
