How many shots/frames are in the scene?

40 shot’s/frames within the 2:22 mins clip like wow

What kind of shots/frames are in the scene?

At the beginning they start with a two shot which is two actors together this is usually shot in MS (medium shot) which is the waist up. It then goes into a MCU (medium close up) which is a close up of the actor from the shoulders to the top of the head and then back to two shot and so on until he throws the rock which then goes into a wide shot (WS) and then back to them in a two shot. (Sorry forgot to say when it zooms into the grenade it goes into a close up (CU))

When the guards come at 0:49 it is a two shot but a Medium close up then turns into wide shot to establish where they are then into a wide shot on the guards, then a Medium close up on a sign then back to the two shot and then a wide shot then into a EWS (Extreme wide shot- sometimes called a establishing shot) then into a wide shot on to a person then follows him until he kicks the bed and then into a Medium shot on the light grenade.  Then follows him up then into a OSS (Over the shoulder shot) over the guard to see the other guards then back into the MS then follows him and then into a CU of his clothes, then a MCU onto the captain guard then into a MS on the guard then quick wide shot then back to a MS on the captain then when he picks it up into a CU then into a MS then into a MS of his clothes then into a wide shot of all the guards, then into a EWS then into a WS then into a CU of the grenade then into a wide shot the into a OSS then into a Two shot of a MS then into a WS again

They try to do everything so the camera can at least see one side of their head

They talk quite loud

How detailed are the actors’ performances?

Why do you think the actors’ performances are appropriate for film/TV acting?

Can you explain how you would have performed the scene differently, and why?
