Assault on Precinct 13... The opening

Assault on Precinct 13

Camera – Mid-shot of Jake talking; camera is slightly shaky, gives a sense of imbalance

Editing – Rogue Productions 'zooms' into screen followed by fade to black. Straight cut to man talking, jump cuts whilst Jake is talking, suggests he is uneasy/unsure about something. Straight cut to a Serbian man, who is only on screen for about a second. suggests he is unimportant

Mise-en-scene – Man we first see (Jake) is in a white, slightly grubby vest; has an unshaven face, suggests he isn't bothered by his appearance. Serbian man is clean shaven and better dressed than Jake; suggests he is more professional about the deal.

Sound – Whirring sound as Rogue Productions 'zooms' into screen. Man starts talking whilst screen is black. Jake is talking rather fast; suggests he wants this over with. Dog starts barking as drugs are passed from Jake to the Serbian man to an assistant.

Watched until 1:06
