Shot 1: This is a medium close up (MCU) shot with a man lying on his back with a gun pointed slightly to the right of the frame. The camera is above him at a high angle which creates a certain vulnerability and due to the fact he is holding his head it suggests that he has already been hurt. He may have been knocked down by a person out of shot and he may have the gun poised at him. There is definitely fear in his eye's and he is certainly looking at something or someone. The low key lighting creates a dark and dangerous feel for the audience. Light is also used to engage the audience as artificial light shines down on the key features of this shot, the gun and the man's face. This focus's and restricts what the audience has to look and concentrate on, this is also helped by the tight framing.
Shot 2: The camera is at a very high angle and may be attached to a crane to achieve this height, it is also a very long shot and a 2-shot. The high angle gives the audience an overview of the scene and serves to show us who is in control. We can see blood splattered near the man on the grounds right hand showing us that he has been shot and no longer wields his gun and is at the total mercy of the man standing with his gun raised, who aims as if to take another shot. We are given more scenery in this shot than the first and it tells us that the setting is located at a docking yard. The light is very low key and the black and white effect adds to this, light does however shine on the man standing's back and on the body of the man who has just been shot. This again focus's the audience on the action.
Shot 3: This shot is an extreme long shot (ELS) and is composed using the rule of thirds - the characters in the middle and empty space above and below. The shot shows us 2 additional characters, a man standing behind the guy shooting and a little girl watching from the side - her back is to the camera. The man on the ground is cringing in pain as the shooter leans over as if to speak and the man behind him is just watching with a gun to his side. The lighting is again low key and little sprinkles of light are shone on the characters to indicate they are whats intended for us to see in this shot.
Shot 4: This shot is the same angle as shot 3 but much closer up showing us the scene in more detail, it is a long shot (LS). The little girl sits in the right hand side of the frame witnessing a man being shot to death and even though her back is again to the camera we can gather from her posture that she is scared. The man holding the gun relentlessy points it in the direction of the other man's face as he is in to much pain to even beg for mercy. The Wind blows the man's coat back creating a powerful figure who is in complete control of what is happening. This also has low key lighting and artificial light is spread across the characters and their immediate surroundings.
Shot 5: This shot is a very personal one and shows us deep emotions of the little girl who has witnessed a man killed in what would seem cold blood, the shot is close up (CU). The frame is tightly packed only cutting off the tip of her head and to the sides of her are out of focus imagery of the sea in which the light shines on and reflects. The little girl is crying and the light which shines on her cheek reveals it to be damp with tears. Her hair is being blown by the wind overall making her seem very vulnerable and scared. The lighting is low key but for where there is light it seems very high contrasted and this makes for a beautiful parallel between the dark imagery and the light.
Shot 6: This shot is slightly low angled and is a very long shot. The killer is leaning over as if in pain clutching his heart and in the background there is the man he killed. It would seem he no longer has control or the power he had when he was shooting his gun. The man who was observing the murder is still standing in the same place still observing, lighing in the background from maybe an explosion or car headlights make his presence very dominating as his dark figure contrasts well with the light. The camera is in such a place that the audience feel as if they are peering in from another characters perspective. The shot has low key lighting with artificial light mainly coming from the background.
