In this film, the director cleverly used the characteristics of glass to achieve the goal of showing multiple characters in one shot at the same time. General glass has the function of mapping. Compared with general glass, the glass of the interrogation room has more remarkable characteristics-it is a mirror when viewed from one side, and glass when viewed from the other side. In the background noise of the police station, Asley looked at Louis, who was sitting alone in the interrogation room, with his head buried in the interrogation room, as if thinking about the interrogation plan. At this moment, the camera was not aimed at Eisley, on the contrary, it was facing Louis who was separated by a wall. The lens was shot from the interrogation room to the interrogation room through the glass, which seemed to show the state of Louis in the interrogation room, but in my opinion, the director wanted to show the reflection of Eisley in the glass window. A close-up shot allows the audience to clearly see Aisley's closed lips and the sharp determination hidden behind that grim expression. Prior to this, many episodes had fully demonstrated Eisley's aggressive enterprising spirit, and this time the suspect was personally arrested and brought to justice. It was also the glorious achievement of his first visit to the arrest scene. A short still shot vividly showed Eisley's inner desires and calculations in front of the audience.
The camera moves with Asley's footsteps, and the next shot is more interesting. Asley walked past Jack, who was sitting outside the interrogation room looking through a newspaper. With the movement of the lens, we can see three different people in the same lens, but these three people are inside the glass of the interrogation room, beside the glass, and outside the glass. The young black man in the glass was bowing his head and couldn't help crying. The interrogation room looked dark and low due to the dark color of the glass; Jack next to the glass was reading the newspaper in a smart manner. He was wearing a snow-white shirt and suit. His face was bright, and the tone of the whole person was completely different from that of the interrogation room. He looked at Aisley with a little surprise, as if surprised by Aisley's overly seriousness; while Aisley was attentively reading the report he held in his hand, softly speaking. Passing by Jack silently. The three characters show three different sceneries. The black youth is a panoramic shot. Jack stretches to a close-up shot because of the close spatial distance, while Eisley is pulled very close by the camera, and only his shot is taken. Left shoulder. The different sceneries also caused the audience to have completely different feelings about the three characters, and at the same time led to uneven feelings about the characters. For example, for a black youth, it is easier for the audience to look at him with a scrutiny perspective, but for Jack, it is easier to guess his approximate psychological activities. In addition, the psychological activities and personality characteristics of the characters have also been more fully explained. Jack's free and easy and carelessness, Eisley's tension and stern calmness-these are what the director tried to show before this film-at this time Get echoes and deeper performance.
