Heat Write Up

This is a very high angle shot where it shows the area of the bank, where everyone is located and where the robbery might take place. An overview of the bank is showing us that the robber has entered the location and is spotting for security. You can notice that the bank is very busy with the amount of people where the robber can get in easier because it is crowded. This scene was taken to show that everyone was on their own work and hasn’t spotted the robber.

This is a big close-up shot where it only shows the audience the robbers face. He is now very suspicious and looking around the area of the bank to locate all security so that he and his crew would be able to plan a bank robbery. It shows that he is not too suspicious and trying to feel calmed so that people won’t recognize by his expressions that he is trying to rob.

This is a long shot which allows us to see the robber running through the workers in the bank who are kneeling on the floor. This scene is where the robber is running to another robber to be able to get out of the area as soon as possible. This shot is taken to show that the robbers are trying to get out of the bank quickly and are in a rush.

This is a medium long shot which is showing us the police pushing his way through to get the robbers by shouting off the pedestrians away from his way. This shows us that the police is walking quickly because there is something he has to go do and if he doesn’t get there on time the robbers can have a chance to escape. This was taken because it shows us that he is in a hurry to reach the bank to meet the robbers.

2 shot is another technique which has been used in this rob scene of this movie. In this 2 shot scene you can see both of the robbers in the same shot. This shows us that there is a relationship between each other with same dress code and both carrying a bag which makes them try to look like workers in the bank. They both have same facial expression and are trying to move quickly so that police won’t spot them.

This scene is a mid-close-up shot which shows some background behind the police who is rushing to the bank. This scene shows his face expression which is to spot the robbers if they had already came out. He is alert of what might happen next. This scene shows us that the police are aiming to get to the bank and deal with the robbers as soon as they get there due to his expressions.

This shot is taken from a high angle which shows us that the police is checking on the person if he is still alive or not. This scene shows us that the police is trying to help him but he does not survive it as he has been shot. It is a devastating part of the robbery scene for the police but he has to carry on to get the robbers.

This scene is where the robber is trying to escape and shooting other police by carrying a girl so that they would not try to shoot him.  But as the other police came behind him he turned around and was shot by the police. But before he shot, the facial expression says it all in this close-up shot where he is terrified by the police aiming at his head and the robber felt that he will get killed. This shot shows us that the robber is frightened but has no other choice but to die as he is being aimed by the police.
