This sequence, taken
from Batman "The Dark Knight"
starts with the close up shot of Joker’s face is sitting at the table while Batman hits Joker’s head of the table. Batman’s medium close up from the
low-angle makes a Joker looking miserable compare to Batman. The whole tension
of these first shots are completing with diegetic sound of electricity in the
room’s lamps. Then we see Batman sitting down and his eyes become on the same
level as Joker’s eyes which indicates that Batman is ready to listen what is
Joker is about to say. All this is happening in a room behind the mirror where
on the other side of the mirror people who are against Joker, they can hear
and see what Batman and Joker are talking about but they can not see them back
and we also can hear the diegetic sound in the room where people are just do
regular movements, we can see how all these people froze in an exertion which
creates even more tension to the viewer. The shots continuing
with Batman talking to Joker and we can see the shots behind the right and
then left Batman’s shoulders, then the same type of shots are happening behind
Joker’s shoulder, all these following by some non-diegetic music of some
(piano) like sound instrument. At that point we can see how Batman started to thinking about what Joker just said and the instrumental music helped a lot to show how Batman was consentraitung on his thinking. Then Batman gets mad and starts to trough Joker
around and we see again Batman from low-angle, medium close up low-angle and Joker from the high-angle is in pain on the floor. The music changed from
the instrumental to something squeaky (unstoppable sound) and it started
creating a tension again. The cuts between the shots were seamless and smooth.
The music was always on point and creating the mood, which was already there so
the music just was expanding the whole feelings while watching this piece.
