| A still from the Breaking Bad episode "To'hajiilee" |
In this still we see 3 foreground characters, one holding a gun. One with handcuffs and one man on his knees with his hands behind his head. The 2 men who are stood are wearing black coats whereas the man kneeled down in wearing white. This creates the idea of a power dynamic between these characters, with the man on his knees and being at gunpoint with his hands behind his head we see him as having the least power in the scene. We get the idea that the other 2 men in shot are working together and have control in this scene as they are both stood up wearing black and looking at the kneeling man
This is a good first analysis, showing very good understanding of character and denotation/connotation. You have included some relevant examples, supporting your analysis with good technical detail. Well done. EBI: try to extend your writing - you could have considered the open framing, either suggesting no way out or a possible escape from outside the frame. Possibly also more explicit reference to the genre conventions, such as mise-en-scene and narrative moment.
