This is focusing on the abduction scene in Inside Man, when there are many hostages about 50 people all being held captive in a bank.
Lighting:
- In the first shot of the abduction scene, when all the hostages and the aggressors are following them down the stairs, the lighting is VERY dim and only a few beams of bright light, picking up the peoples faces and expressions. This clearly demonstrates just how desperate and scared the hostages are.
- Then as all the people assemble in the main room where they are being given instructions, the light gets slightly brighter and there is more light on the room, showing just how large and imposing their environment as well as the aggressors are.
- Moreover, when the main "bad guy" is talking to all of the hostages and says, "take off your clothes," this light becomes slightly brighter and emphasises the severity of the situation, as the light shows all the people having to get changed and how uncomfortable and vialated they feel. By showing them all frowing and looking at eachother with fear.
Sound:
- In the shot when all the hostages and aggressors are coming down the stairs, the sound is a non diagetic backing track, of low toned organ music which creates a very eary and tense atmosphere.
- Then next shot when all the hostages are lined up and being given instructions. One of the hostages whimpers, " why are you doing this to me?" This illustrates how scared and anxious all of the hostages are including a fully grown man.
- One of the next lines from the "bad guy" is, "everyone else over there," this portrays that the agressors have very little compassion if any and are just there to do a job and get what they WANT.
Mise en scene:
- Throughout the entire main hostage scene, there is a prevelant tense and rushed feeling. From when they are all being lined up at the start, clearly suggesting that the agressors are trying to organise the chaos that is the MASS hostage. Also when they are taking the mobiles off of the hostages, this clearly shows that they are trying to take control of a very hectic and dangerous situation. By cutting off the hostages contact with the outside world.
- Moreover, when the shot pans across the hostages faces, as the main "bad guy," is holding a gun in a mans face, they all look horrified and disgusted by the man's actions. Also they make gasping noises, showing that they are in great destress and feel very uncomfortable.
Costume:
- The abductors are all wearing white suites, that cover them from head to toe. They cover everything but their faces, hiding almost all of their identities. They are all also wearing, caps and balaclarvas to cover their facial features, making them much more of a threat visually as it is almost impossible for the hostages to distinguish what they look like.
- The main "bad guy," is tall and wearing a full suite as well as glasses and a balaclarva just like the other aggressors.
- Whereas all the hostages are wearing everyday work clothes.
The women = Were all generally wearing, skirt suites and colourful cardigans. As well as suite jackets and high heels.
The men = Were all wearing suites and shirts as well as ties and smart work suites. The dress of the male and female hostages, portrays them as very everyday and normal people. Which helps the audience to greatly empathise with their situation as they can relate to them and feel very sorry for the situation which they have found themselves in.

Deconstruction - 2 fast 2 furious "abduction/capture scene."
This deconstruction is focusing on the "capture" scene of a man who is then tortured.
Sound:
- The first shot of the man starts of with him walking into a V.I.P area, where there are men who are waiting to get information out of him, by any means. The sound starts of as the diagetic music in the background as the scene is in a club, the music is clubby but with a prominate bass sound.
- As the man "victim" and a woman walk into the V.I.P area, you can also hear their conversation which overlaps the background club music. This helps to emphasis the current situation unfolding. Then as they walk into the area, where the men are, other music is played over the club music, which is eary and uses violins, to build up tension.
- The sound then changes back to diaget, as the main "bad guy," says, "enjoying yourself D.I," immediately cutting the viewer back into the action and showing the danger of the mans situation. Also the use of his name, conveys instantly that the bad guy, knows EXACTLY who he is and therefore the hostility of the circumstances between them.
- As the men engage in a conversation, the woman leaves and the club music is heard again, cutting the audience straight back into the dangerous action.
Lighting:
- The lighting at the start of the scene is totally typical and autentic to a club environment. The lighting is quite dim but not dull. The lights are brighter as the man and woman enter the V.I.P area, as there is much more avaliable and created light, including the tall lamps which are next to the sofa, creating a slightly more comfy and misleadingly safe feel.
- The light in most of the shots, is a mixture of quite bright yellow and unnatural lights, highlighting the characters face, portraying that the light isn't nautral. In addition there are a few blue and red lights, which beam onto the characters. In the second shot, when the man walks over to the main bad guy, there is a much redder tinge to the light, suggesting the impending danger that he is in.
- The light on the shot when the man is lying on his back and is being torched, by a blow torch and a rat is on his stomach under a metal bucket. Here the light is very bright and unnatural, in the shot where the main bad guy is holding the torch in his face and shouting at him. The light is slightly blue which is the colour of the flame and is right up close in the shot, suggesting the intense discomfort of the man and the situation.
Mise en Scene:
- The whole scene from when the man enters to when he is forced ontop of a table to be forced into giving the bad guy " a window," to commit a crime, is very on edge and illustrates a feeling of increasing danger and authority of the bad guy over the man.
- When the man first enters, the initial effect is that he has been tricked by the woman, and therefore is potentially in peril. This is enhanced by the bad guy smiling menacingly as they gain eye contact, not only does the man know who he is but also that he is not at great risk of coming to harm.
- The Mise en Scene, when the man is lying down and has a bucket on his stomach with a rat underneath it, is very unnerving and disturbing for the audience to watch. When the man starts to shout and wail, " get it off me," this portays that he is in absoloute desperation and agony. And that even as a policeman, he is forced to give in and say, "i'll give you the window.. i'll give you the window," as he is so frantic to get away.
Costume:
- The man who is the victim, is dressed in a shirt and loose tie, which conjures up the image of an everyday working class, middle aged man. Which helps the audience to empathise with him, when he is being tortured and put in a very compromising position, as clearly he is nothing out of the ordinary, so why does he have to cope with such an ordeal. Moreover his hair looks quite bedraggled and slightly greasy, suggesting that he isn't very groomed and doesn't pay too much attention to his appearance.
- The main bad guy, is dressed in a very expensive looking suit, immediatley showing that he is very wealthy and has power and authority over the other characters. Also he is wearing very expensive looking jewellery and his hair is short and VERY well kept, implying that he has both the time and resorces to worry and focus on his self image.

Deconstruction - One Tree Hill "abduction scene."
Focusing on the Abduction scene of Peyton Sawyer and Brooke Davis
Lighting:
- First shot of the abduction scene, when Peyton is tied to a chair with a gag in her mouth. The light is very dim and she is mostly surrounded by very dark light. There are a few beams of light oh her faces and hair, highlighting her precarious and vulnerable situation.
- Then the show changes to a close up of her face, with much more light to emphasis her emotion and physical trauma. The light is still very blurred and dim.
- The next shot of Peyton, uses spot lights behind her head which portrays just how unnatural her surroundings are. It also emphasises just how dingy and succluded the place she is being held is. The lighting behind her head, also illustrates parts of her face which look strained and weary. Also creating shadows behind her which conveys, the great lack of light.
Sound:
- As soon as Peyton gains conciousness in the first shot, she immediately makes moaning noises, which clearly shows that she is uncomfortable and in pain. When she then opens her eyes and becomes aware of just how dangerous her situation is, she begins to start making loud moaning sounds and weeping.
- The next shot of Peyton when she becomes increasingly aware of what's going on, he begins to VERY heavily breath and almost hyperventilate, conveying how terrified and helpless she feels, as she can't do anything else. She can't move or scream out for help, as she is gaged.
- When Peyton is ungaged and is talking to "Derek" her abductor, she talks very calmly and almost creepily slowly to try to convince him to let her be untied. She says, "let me finish this bitch," and stares at his provocatively, using her sexuality to get herself out of danger.
- Later when Derek is chasing Peyton round the house, when she is locked in her room. He says, "open the door," very angrily and abruptly showing just how threatening and unstable he is.
Mise en scene:
- The overall feel of the scene is very threatening and precarious as everything the two girls do, in particular Peyton is being analysed and watched by Derek the abductor.
- When Peyton gets away from him and runs upstairs he chases her and shouts, "Open the door," demonstrating just how aggressive and unhinged he is, as he has just stabbed him and he is still determined to get to her.
- Moreover when Brooke Davis comes down into the cellar and finds Peyton, Derek grabs her and says "well well, Brooke Davis," illustrating just how involved and obsessed with Peyton's life and friends he is. Brooke then tries to get him off her, and she screams " get off me," this shows how desperate and scared she is.
- The screaming and shouting between Peyton and Brooke e.g When Peyton begins to fight back to Derek and says, "Get up," this conveys, that even though she's scared she in some ways subverts our expectations by fighting back to a bigger and intimidating man.
Costume:
- Peyton is dressed in a brilliant white long, prom dress. This is ICONIC of a virgin and pure idea, suggesting that she is innocent and vulnerable. Also her dress is embellished with glitter and sequins which suggests, that despite being an older teengager, she is still very young and is quite girly.
- Brooke is dressed in a much different dress, it is Blood red and has a low cut neck line, revealing quite a lot of cleavage. This creates a much more provocative and sexually capable image of a young girl. It also portrays that she is a vibrant and bold character, as she isn't afraid to be noticed and looked at. Her hair, is straight and long, creating a grown up and mature picture of an veyr young girl.
- Derek is dressed in a very posh and expensive looking black suite, this is very simple but also formal and portrays an image of an otherwise very normal and "everyday man." Therefore implying an even more disturbing image of the man, as he is dressed for the prom which he has prevented Peyton from going to, showing exaclty how OBSESSED he is with her life and what she does. This image is in total juxtaposition to his unstable and utterly disturbed personality.

Deconstruction - Panic room for "abduction scene."
Panic room - Focusing on the abduction/hostage scene.
Lighting:
- Shot of the Man tied to a chair and a few single beams on light, landing on his face and his silloute. Outlining his physical form and the state of his body. The illustrates his isolation and intense vulnerability.
- The light only slightly changes, as the camera angle changes and pans around him. Light appears much more yellow and faded when the shot changes to straight on. The shows how dark and dingy the environment he is being kept in is. Portraying the danger of his situation and how unnatural it is.
Mise en Scene:
- The general fell of the shots of the abduction scene is; imposing, unsafe, danger and vulnerability.
- The couple of shots when the audience first sees the man, he is bleeding which shows his physical agony and vulneralitiy. Also two big men are leaning over him, shot from a low angle shot which suggests there strength and superiority over the hostage. They are also holding guns, which is an instant indicator of danger and threatening behaviour towards the victim. In addition they are wearing masks, which is a VERY imposing and clear sign of them wanting to hide their identities, which suggests that they are capable of inflicting pain on the hostage.
Sound:
- The first shot of the hostage, shows his immediate discomfort and pain, as the man lets deep and low murmers. Signifiying his pain and that he can bearly make sounds let alone speak, showing that he is in agony. He also wimpers when the woman "jodie foster" comes into the shot, illustrating that he is completely aware that she is there and wants to communicate but can't.
- When she is talking to him and tell him her plan, to get the 3 dangerous men out of the house, he replies with, "don't open the door!" Very abruptly and sharply, this use of a command shows, that he is desperate to protect his love ones E.g. his daughter. Also that he is very angry with the men and the situation which they are in.
- Again after he has told her not to "Open the door!" He makes more deep moaning noises and more deep breathing. This clearly shows that despite his brave attempt to have some authority over the situation and Jodie foster's character, he is in acute pain and discomfort.
Costume/Makeup:
- The burgulars as soon as they enter the house are dressed in all dark and black clothing, this signifies danger and physical intimidation in their presence. Suggesting their predatorial presence instantly as they enter the house with force.
- They all then a few shots later, put on balaclarvas which is an iconic symbol of burgulars and people to be weary of. This portays even further the scary situation which the main characters are now in.
- The hostage man, has very sweaty and greasy looking hair which conveys his inhumain treatment, as he has been beaten up and tied to a chair very aggressively. Also that he is very vulnerable as he physically can't move and is being held against his will.
- The man is wearing very plain and every day clothing for a middle aged man. He is dressed in a long brown coat which conjures up images of a hard working breadwinner father. Therefore he is very relatable for people, as he is just an "everyday" man being attacked in his own home. Also that people can empathise greatly with his unjust pain and situation of being held hostage.
- Lastly he is covered in blood, all over his face and coat this clearly portrays that he is in a desperate and dyer situation as his life is at risk. Moreover that he has been treated very brutaly and almost without any compassion at all.
