Radio Scene - Cinematography

The Cinematography for the Radio Scene was very basic, I wanted to capture a montage of interesting shots which would keep the attention of the audience, as things would not look bad. There is no intentional Shaky-Cam effect in this part and the main focus was to establish the world of the Film. The Build up is slow, as we progress towards a more climactic Ending. We wanted also, to contrast the outside world, with the interrogation scene which would follow, but also make them both look imposing.

In the Process of making this opening, I discovered a Film technique called 'Foreshortening'. This technique is accomplished when you zoom in, to give a similar effect of a telephoto lens, and make it look as if a foreground, middle-ground and background are closer together than they really are. This effect is also disorientating for the Audience as they listen to the Radio Monolgue.

Here is an example of Foreshortening in our opening:
