Scene Analysis

Scene analysis of “Con-fident” Scene 1.

Characters:
Establishing the relationship between Scammer and his Colleague, which clearly shows that Scammer does the bidding of Colleague much to his annoyance. Scammer is a ‘small time ah beng’; all talk but no bite. Whereas Colleague is much older, scarier and higher ranked than Scammer. Colleague likes to take advantage of Scammer and make him do his bidding.

Camera Movement:
The scene opens with a slow dolly in, framing Scammer in the middle. A whip pan introduces Colleague when he catches Scammer watching porn. Following that, the shots cut to and fro between static med and close ups.

And the camera on Scammer will be mostly high angle to show his smallness while Colleague’s will be low angle to show his authority.
