songs. Before the show, I did not really listen to any of his newer stuff because the album had come out just days before, and I was stuck on his older music and wasn’t ready for a change yet. He played “Washing Dishes,” You Remind Me of You,” “Shot Reverse Shot,” all of which were excellent songs.

establishing master shot #1 of Giant going to the restroom. Shot #2 is a medium close up shot of Giant. Behind him are two men peeking from the stalls. This foreshadows the trouble Giant might be facing. The director uses the division of surface in order to show the conflict between the men and Giant. The focus of the shot shifts from Giant to the men and follow focus as they grab Giant. Shot #3 is a medium shot, more like a two shot, of all four people. The 4th shot is an establishing shot of…

Kenneth Burke states that “any given terminology is a reflection of reality, by its very nature as a…

Medium close up. This shot is exactly the same as shot number 2, except that it can be categorized as a reaction shot from Ginger as she slows down and realizes how frantic she was; however, she soon aggressively speeds things up again that ultimately leads to fear and anxiety from Jason. These last three shots are rather slow placed relative to the rest of them because tensions are low, the scene is still…
