Genre uncharted

 

In this movie there are lots of medium close-up shots mainly when the characters are exchanging dialogue. There are some extreme close-up shots used to emphasize how valuable some of the items that are after are. During the fighting scenes there are lots of long shots, this allows the viewer to be able to see all the action while leaving a couple of subtle details out of the center of the screen. While the main characters are sneaking around there are many medium shots. These medium shots give the viewer a clearer view of the surroundings of the characters while also being able to leave out things that may confuse the viewer. As the bad guy is more powerful there is an eye level shot that then pans to a high angle showing that the bad guy has more power at that exact moment.

All the characters' costumes closely resemble the source material, the entire movie is based on a video game and does a great job of portraying this. One of the main ways it does it is using costumes. When the main characters have been exploring for a while, you can see their clothes become dirtied and sweaty. The bad guys in the movie are dressed in dark clothing that is both formal and informal, during the flashback the younger character can be seen wearing darker clothing while breaking into a museum to steal a map.

The sound of each scene also plays a big part in the action feeling. during a fight or when the characters are running from the bad guys there is fast passed or louder music. It feels like each time a weapon is fired that it is louder than the rest of the screen to show that that action throws the power wildly to the other party. The music also slows when the characters think they are close to solving the mystery to add to the suspense. The characters' dialogue becomes quiet and louder depending on the situation. There is a sound bridge towards the beginning of the movie as the main character falls off one of the shipping containers.
