In most of the video, there were two-people shot. It mostly was the main actors in the movie. Having this scene as the shot emphasizes that there is a problem between them and that something will happen later on. In the movie, there were also over the shoulder shots. This demonstrates that they are only speaking to each other and that the argument is not one-sided. The ‘argument’ is portraying that both characters believe in what they think is right.
The way that the extract is edited also adds to the argument as well. Most of the scene was shot reverse shot and then it suddenly went into a split screen. The shot reverse shot is the main actors having their conversation then when the male actor is attacking the female actor it jumps to a split screen showing the other people heading to the room they are in and trying to stop them. The sudden change in action draws the viewer in and is showing what might happen next.
The dialogue and and music contributes to the suspense that is going on within the film. The Dialogue starts with the two main actors talking about where the bomb is and then it jumps to the man yelling at the woman because she wants to leave the country. While they are talking the music is low and not loud as in action movies. When the male actor starts screaming the music gets louder, trying to add emotion because it went from two different ends of a spectrum. Lighting and setting also add to the suspense and theme. The location appears to be an interrogation room and the lighting is dim. It is well known that crime shows use this tactic to create the ‘thrill.’ The movie uses the same idea because it intertwines with the feel and creates the mood. This is somewhat of the climax because the theme is trying to demonstrate that empowerment people want to have.
This dramatic scene is a perfect way to show empowerment, especially the underdog.
