Fast & Furious (2001) Brian Opening Scene (1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse) [Full HD/1080p]

1) This scene contained a close up of the driver pushing down on the pedals and tracking shots of the car to show its speed. There was also a few high shots to give the audience glances of the type of car and what it looked like. There are extreme close ups of the gear getting changed, portraying the speed of the car will increase. There is a medium shot of the driver before he starts driving which initiates there will be an incident with the character in the next scene. There is long shots of the car to also give the audience a good look at how the car looks and there is a closeup of the speed to show the audience how fast the car is going. There is extreme long shots of the city to set the scenery for the audience.

2) The camerawork can give the audience clues about what could happen in the scene and could also give good in tell on what the character is feeling. The camerawork is also good help for the audience to see the setting and this could help them understand the narrative behind the scenes. The understanding of setting and narrative can be helpful to the audience to see what type of scene is going to be played.

3) 

This image uses a shot low angle to capture how the characters are standing on a car. This can show the audience they are going to do something dangerous and this shot captures both the characters facial expressions, showing that they are looking into danger or something that needs to be saved or resolved. This creates both  an enigma code and action code for the audience.
