Children of men: Car Scene





Camera angles:



Starts with a 'mid-shot' which displays emotion and allows the audience to connect with the character much easier.

As the entire scene is a single take within a car, there are several 'over the shoulder' shots and 'POV' shots that sort of include the audience in the character's activities.


Editing:


as it is a single take scene there aren't many transitions etc. but some C.G.I is obviously present as the filming took place on a raised chassis not in an actual car.


Sound:


It is very good the way they've made the talking sound a bit muffled etc. so they sound as if they are talking in a car.


Mise En Scene:


The car is a bit grubby which plays with the fact that 'children of men' is set in a post apocalyptic, dystopian society were luxuries are few. This is also enforced when the car is attacked by some form of marauding bandits.






I believe this film is targeted at anyone over the age of 16 who is interested in a crumbling society or wants to get a look into a sterile future and observe some of the issues we may face.
