HOT FUZZ

OPENING SCENE SHOTS

Sarita Chander

This is the establishing shot as the main character Angel has arrived. It is an

extreme long shot that gives the audience the sett ing of the narrative and

shows you the scenery behind him. The view of the area is very peaceful and

the streets seem very deser ted and the scene has been fi lmed in the

daytime.

SHOT 1:

SHOT 2:

This is the second shot and it transitions from shot 1 to shot 2 using a

wipe jump cut and then there is a close up of the character which is a

long shot that shows you the landscape but also gives the audience

more and that of course is the character which is on the horse.

SHOT 3:

This is the third shot of the same scene and it has transitioned, using

the same cut as before, into a mid shot because it contains the

characters shot from waist above and us as viewers can see a close

interaction

SHOT 4:

This image is a long shot and it shows you very well the power of the character Angel,

because the school children are looking up at the character Angel it shows us that he is

superior to them and that his level of importance is much more, he is also one a horse too

which gives us the clarity that he is in power, the school children look very inferior at this

moment because they don’t have much of a high status and the levels show us who is

important right now. The scene transition was quite smooth however but still very affective

as it shows us the eye level of the character.

SHOT 5:

This is shot number 5 and the transition is a

straight cut to a low angle to show his high point of

view which he is on the horse, the school children

see him as being superior because of the height

level he is on.

SHOT 6:

This scene shows us again the importance of the character angel as he is on a height, the fact that he is on a horse

as well shows us that he is important because horses are generally associated with people who are important as

well as wealthy and have high standards.

The fact that the children are looking at angel is complete shocks shows us as an audience that they are shocked

by his presence and the fact that he is there.

SHOT 7:

This scene change on shot 7 was quick transition

and it was a wipe across affect, the quick change

shows us that there is something that is going to

go and on it gives us a hint that there is going to

be a lot of movement.

SHOT 8:

This shot changed from shot 7 to a quick wipe effect that

showed us the reactions of the students and how they are

feeling about the presence of the character angel.

SHOT 9:

This transition was very fast on this shot as the movement was all very

quick as he is giving the student the bag with the cans in and he wants

them to use them as soon as possible so because he threw it very quickly

shows us that the movement after will also be very fast. It was a fast wipe

in affect that progresses really quickly as it gets even faster after this shot.

SHOT 10:

This shot was a very quick paced shot and the movement was very fast as it

contained fast wipe across transitions. The way the children open the bag was also

very much zoomed in by the camera to gives us a viewers a clear insight to what

they are seeing and what is in the bag, it works well because it compliments what is

going to go on in the next few scenes and shots.
