research Entry for The Usual Suspects - Mr Norman

SHOT COMPOSITION AND FRAMING
1) I have noticed the shot composition and framing are very important in this opening scene of The Usual Suspects. A good example showing this is when we see the 'kaiser' as we are only shown his figure and not facial features. This adds to the mystery and grips the audience making them want to carry on watching.

CLOSE UP
2) In The Usual Suspects again a close up is used. This is on the victuims face so the audience can easily concentrate on vital areas, normally depicting important pieces of information needed to observe.

CAMERA TECHNIQUE
3) Again in the usual suspects we are introduced to the technique of hand held cameras. This makes whats going on seem more realistic to an audience thus getting them involved in the film. This is a really successful camera technique to have especially in the first few minutes as it has already gripped the audience, making them want to continue to watch on. It makes the audience feel like they are in the interrogation room with the police.
