Cinematography & Camera Techniques

The Purge begins with an established shot of a man shooting another man and as he falls to the floor the man runs away. It goes on to show different crimes such as fighting in groups in the street; this is all shown as CCTV footage. On each shot in the corner it tells us where the footage is from e.g. Syracuse, Jacksonville and Huntsville after that It tells us the time and date. You can see that the day and month is always the same 03/21 but the date of the year goes up from 2017 to 2021, this tells us The Purge is an event occurring every year from 7:00 PM on March 21st till 7:00 AM on March 22nd. . At the top of each scene it says ‘Purge Feed’ this tells the audience this is what the purge is and showing the different shots of what goes on in them 24 hours. Another one of the shots is Aerial shot looking down at a gang of lads fighting at a high angle. All clips are very fast and show a lot of establish shots so you can see the movement of the characters and see the victims you begin to see what the film is about and how violent ‘The Purge’ is. On some clips there are slow zooms and canted framing to follow what is happening as the criminals rub away. By showing a fire it shows arson to a building that is on fire and outlines of people’s body running around with objects in their hands witch look like bats and poles. Most of the clips you see are from a high angle view due to the fact it’s filmed from CCTV which means it would be on the top of a building or post because all footage is all based outside. Even fast shots of people lay dead in a line on the floor being shown in an aerial shot. With crime such as arson to buildings and cars, shootings, gang crime it gives you examples of what the film going to be about and what genre it is.
