Cinematography Analysis ( V for Vendetta )

In the attached clip above is a clip of ''V for Vendetta'' and it first introduces Chancellor Sutler who is talking to his associates. This clip contains many different types of cinematography from different angles, shot types and focuses and they have all been used for a reason to with hold different interpretations.

The building is in focus at the start of the clip which indicates something is going to happen in the foreground which foreshadows the explosion.

A mid-shot opens the scene to show the actions of Vendetta and what he is doing , They may have used this shot to show the comparison of power between Vendetta and the world (The building) as the building is much more bigger even though its in the foreground. But then as Vendetta destroys the building another mid-shot is presented and Vendetta is bigger than the building which really enhances his power and destruction and may signify him overcoming the power and law of the world. A lot of close ups of the characters are also used to show the facial expressions and especially to emphasize the shock of Evey. Long shots are also used to display the destruction of the scenery and fireworks.

A close up shot first introduces Chancellor Sutler , this instantly indicates that he has a lot of power and is high in authority and importance. Then a mid-shot is used to introduce Mr Creedy which makes him look smaller than the chancellor this instantly tells us he is lower in authority and also the fact he appears through darkness certifies he has less power and that hes became something instead of nothing because the Chancellor has spoken, but this could also foreshadows the conflict between Sutler and Mr Creedy as he is shown through evil (Darkness). A lot of mid-shots and high angle shots are present in this scene , but are only used on the associate's.  Long shots are used to show the scenery and this actually shows how small the associates are in comparison of the Chancellors projected face , and the Chancellor is looking down on them which degrades the associates and shows they do what the Chancellor informs them to.

A two shot is used between Mr Creedy and another associate , this indicates the relationship between the two characters as they are both in focus , which tells the audience they are both in an equal position.

There are long shots used to show how the associates are arranged , they all have even spacing next to each other with tells the audience they are formal and organised.
