Training day set C
Structure
Start with the MEANING you have noticed.
Then back it up more than one example from the clip.
Use the terminology to describe the example.
POINT: Alonzo is a dominant personality and is control of the relationship.
Examples
a) His silence at the start of the clip
b) His reaction to Jake’s story.
c) The positioning as they cross the road.
Alonzo is quite rude and very aggressive as he speaks with slang and bad words. Also in the beginning, he speaks to Jake without even looking at Jake. He seems to be powerful as when he speaks to Jake, his voice is much clearer and louder because he has confident. The shot type that is used in this scene, is extreme close up to Alonzo when he speaks which shows confidence whereas close up to Jake when he speaks which shows the lack of confidence
Jake is quite rude as well as he tries to speak while Alonzo is reading a newspaper. Also he seems to be a bit stupid because when Alonzo is being aggressive, Jake looks scared and nervous. Also he seems to be weak and lack of confident as he always wants attention from Alonzo and he seems to have nothing to do so he looks around like a weak man.
Overall Alonzo seems to have more power than Jake
- While speaking Alonzo seems to be calm and sitting comfortably whereas Jake seems to be not comfortable and nervous to talk to Alonzo when Alonzo replies with aggressive emotion
- Position when they cross the road as Alonzo is walking near the camera
- When they speak, Alonzo always has extreme close up shot whereas Jake always has close up or two shot angle.
