Thriller Research - End of Watch (2012) [Keelan]

Camera

- In both of the images the camera is positioned in the same place, straight on, inside a car. This is to show the audience that the characters are in a vehicle. At this point, during a chase scene, and most thrillers contain chase scenes.

Mise En Scene

- There are various props during the chase such as dirt, rubbish and debris left from the vehicle being chased. This is to make the audience believe that it is realistic. As if there were none, it may not seem very realistic.

- The setting of the scene, being a chase, then the end of the chase, can possibly create an enigma. This is because it may make the audience wonder why exactly they are being chased. Then by the end of the chase, you see that the people who are doing the chasing are actually part of the LAPD (police).

Editing

- The majority of the scenes are rather short takes, this could be to speed the pace up and enhance the fact that the characters are in a chase scene.

- There is also a number of times ellipsis have been added to jump in time, this is to show that the chase is longer than what you actually see. This would of been edited like this as watching an entire chase scene could become tiresome.

Sound

- There is Non-diegetic music playing throughout the chase, this is of quite a fast pace. This is to add to the atmosphere and fast pace of the chase.

- There is also a voice over of a male; this gives a clue to who exactly is driving the car. Which during this, he declares he is a police officer for the LAPD. Giving a further insight into the movie.

- A lot of Non-diegetic sound is used during these scenes such as the squealing of car tyres, and gun shots. These are used to add to the realism.
