Essay 2

FILM: Bourne Supremacy

The film starts as a flashback of the protagonist. Then it goes to the protagonist at the modern time in the film.

The mise-en-scene is dull coloured clothes which are the pyjamas of the protagonist and his girlfriend. The lighting is low key to simulate night. 

The establishing shot is over the shoulder shot which show every little but that they are in a car. Then next two shots are a track and pan shots which show the protagonist moving along the backseat and looking at a sign out the window.

The editing at the beginning is fast duration and there is a lot of jump cut that show the protagonist may have amnesia so only seeing piece of the flashback.

The sound is compose of drums, violin. There is very little dialogue but the dialogue is most about the protagonists military training and that he tells his girlfriend he has a headache.
