TWO PERSON SHOT
One of the more valuable aspects of the scene is that we observe the detective who is played by (Ollie Macnaughton) slouching over his desk whilst the wife enters the room in a abrupt manner. The two person shot suggests the juxtaposition of the characteristics between the two characters, the idea that the two characters contain two different personalities with contrasting effect, which also signifies to the audience the idea of seriousness as opposed to a more lacklustre approach to a serious matter. We also visualise the dominant actions of the wife which creates a powerful aura which startles the detective. To me, this suggests the unbalance of authority.

MISE-EN-SCENE
In a political thriller, authenticity of mise-en-scene is key in creating verisimilitude. Our set containing the typewriter is very authentic because it suits the disposition perfectly of a typical 1950's genre. its appearance alone would inevitably draw the viewer's eye and stands out from the other props.

OVER THE SHOULDER SHOT
Key elements in the flashback sequence, the camerawork and Mise-en-scene signals the importance for each shot taken and the narrative through visuals. We are introduced by the husband portrayed by (Tom Gladstone) and I play the government boss who viciously provokes the husband. the over the shoulder shot illustrates an inevitable occurrence that is going to take place. the angle of the shot portrays suspense and judging by the body language of the husband, this illustrates that something is lurking afoot. We then sink our teeth into the violent sequence where the government boss uses dominant force to startle the husband by which the husband is physically dominated. the close up shot and tracking shot of the husband's feet being dragged across the pathway connotes suspense as the audience is met with a opaque background and questions the audience as to what will happen next. this shot without using speech of sound effects develops the theme of suspense and tension.

FRAMING SHOT
The next scene is a framing shot of Tom being confined to a chair in an abandoned warehouse. This is also a fixed shot and focuses all the attention on Tom who is positioned in the centre of the frame.
