No Country For Old
Men
The clip starts with a point of view shot looking from
inside a car on the freeway. The camera then cuts to the antagonist within the
car, this shows us we are looking through his eyes, he looks down to the
tracking device just out of shot then the camera cuts to a PoV shot to the
tracking device.
Parallel editing shows the protagonist preparing for the
arrival of the antagonist. He is shown in this low angle mid shot to be holding
two metal tubes, his sleeves are rolled up and top button undone, this foreshadows
‘dirty work’. You can also see he is wearing a wedding ring this portrays his
character to include the traits of a family man.
The low key and natural lighting shows us the time of day
and also hints at a form of pathetic fallacy as the gloomy overcast also
foreshadows events ahead. The sound is primarily diegetic as there is very
little to no non-diegetic sounds, this gives us a sense of realism. Throughout
the clip there can be seen to be very little dialogue this is because the
camera is telling us the story. As the antagonist drives by the motel, the
bleeps from the remote in his car bleep faster. This tells us that the thing he is looking for is within
the point that it bleeps the fastest.
We are presented with many PoV shots and slow pans as our
antagonist pulls into the Motel. We noted that there is a freeway directly
outside of the Motel, we found that this isn’t an ideal place to kill someone
due to the fact that there are many people just outside of the establishment.
