Enemy Of The State - Tension Editing

              

In films, closeup's are used to show more detail and show the audience what the character's feelings are, through expressions. These could be facial expressions or verbal expressions.

In this close up from the film itself, we see the close up shot of a man inserting maybe a chip or a memory device of some sort into a machine. This emphasises how important that chip could be or how significant the information on there is. The background of this shot is blurred, this creates an image where the foreground is highlighted and focused on the person with the device showing significance.

You can see the pressure and tension in the shot and you can almost feel it. With these crosses going across it seems like they are caged in or trapped. This does give good emphasis as the whole film is about being watched and surveillance, and it seems a camera or a person i watching them while in hiding. This adds to the tension and makes you feel as if something is about to happen. This is a medium shot also from the film showing both characters in one shot. This conveys the idea that are concealed within a small space, as portrayed by the cross cutting. A medium shot also depicts emmotion, by looking at their faces emotions, we can clearly see that they are intrigued by something and are looking quiet serious as well.
