The Ellington Kid 

Directed by Dan Sully 

This shot occurs after the Ellington Kid has been stabbed and is trying to run to safety. 

Balanced composition here is very effective and quite satisfying due to its symmetry. The use of mise-en-scene is also effective with the bright white neon lights which draw the spectators attention directly to the Ellington Kid, forcing us to focus on his emotions and undoubtedly his desperate state.  The low angle helps include the ceilings in this shot in order to create a slight claustrophobic feeling, and highlighting his pained facial expressions even more vividly. 

There is a very effective use of flashbacks, ensuring two timelines happen at once which enables the  storytelling to be very believable by putting the audience in the same position as the friend (Beefy). 

A slight low angle demonstrating the characters feeling of power, taking up more space in the frame and therefore appearing lager- centred too. The character points the knife directly at the camera therefore involving and threatening the audience, creating a particularly violent atmosphere. Costume: black, bandana conceals lack identity - much more mysterious and threatening. 

A worker at the Kebab shop is out of focus which although doesn't direct our attention towards him, the audience is still very aware of his presence - almost more threatening, unknown and obscured. The criminal no longer appears to feel powerful - he is off centred, we now see his true identity, pale and vulnerable, concerned facial expressions. 

The use of a pan here rather than a cut ensures that the audience has to wait longer for the reveal of the kebab shop man, providing a greater twist to the ending. whilst simultaneously generating comedy with his smug smile.
