Killing Them Softly
To give an idea of this film, its about how the mafia run their operations. in this part of the film, we see two characters in a tight medium shot talking about what they will do to a person in the film, while creating a voiceover for another scene of what actually happens to that person.
Boths scenes are shot in small tight spaces/shots because the discussion and incident are on a need to know basis, like the mafia. This also gives a sense of containment because, in the first scene: the two characters are talking in a car, and in scene two: the three characters are the only people featured in the frame. The tight shots also give an impression that they dont want anyone else to know what they are doing or speaking about, like the mafia is known for.
Both shots in the car are there for a reason because it gives the audience an insight into the conversation, like we are in the car, but at the same time, the camera anlge concerns us because while both characters are in the most appealing thirds of the frame, the other appealing part is where the window is and that gives the idea that someone is there or some is listening into our conversation when they shouldnt be. At the same time, the medium shot at the start and in the car shows that there is tension and something is building up and it does eventually.
