Bad boys II
​
For the scene in the short film. I'm going to talk about bad boys II. This movie is about two cops investigating the influx of ecstasy into Miami.
They use a reverse 360 degree pan at the beginning of the scene. The Characters have a sense of suspense while they are firing weapons. They did this because we are able to see all the actors in the scene and allow us to understand the present situation.
They start using a close-up shot to show the facial expressions of the characters as they are speaking. This can do a lot for the scene, because the viewer would enjoy what makes them want to watch the whole film if they have a funny facial expression.
To explain the character reloading, they use a low angle shot with a slow movement. This would make it easier for the viewer to see the action the actor is doing.
They later use a long shot to reveal the character's whole body as he's running and firing. This shows us how intense the situation is because when he is doing those acts, we are still able to see the world and the objects that move around.
Before being shot, they zoom into the barrel of the gun to demonstrate that it's about to fire and use a wide close up in the eye to show its gestures. They have done this because it provides us with a good picture of what is going to happen.
It gives us a two-shot by showing the camera towards the mirror. They do this because behind each wall we will be able to see the two characters. This also helps us to see the actions of what the two characters are doing.
