Cinematography

Transporter 2

In this scene from Transporter 2, we see Jason Statham getting ready to work but he is interrupted by a gang. The first shot has the camera panning from the front of the car to the drivers side (dolly probably used). The car is the central image because it takes up most of the screen but we can see that it is parked in a car park (slight establishing shot). This suggests the driver is waiting for someone or something. In addition to this, there is a close up of the driver then his watch which implies he is ready to leave. He begins to put his gloves on and raises his password system to start the car. The close up on the watch, hi-tech car suggests he is wealthy. These shots are medium close ups so the audience can infer what type of person he is by looking at his facial expression. 

Once the girl approaches the driver, the intervals of the camera switch is very similar between him and the girl. Jason seems like his job is his life because he acts really professionally around the girl. Whilst most men would probably be drawling over the girl. The shot is over the shoulder so the audience can see the characters are talking. Also, there is a low angle of Jason which infers he is inferior and weak. The angle used for a woman is high which suggests to an audience she is superior and in control. His facial expression shows him being very calm which implies guns and violence is part of his work. 

When the driver leaves the car, there is an establishing shot which shows where the setting is and the rest of the gang. His composure implies the thugs won't be able to steal the car and there will probably be violence. There is a close up of one of the thugs who try to start the ignition but nothing happens which is the catalyst to the fight that will soon come. There are long shots to show the thugs beginning to circle Jason Statham. The intervals of camera switch when they begin to fight is really fast to add to the intensity so the audience get pumped and excited.
