The News Crew Scene

Analysis of Media Crew Scene

The scene starts out with the trio sitting in a park Sayid in the middle, this reflects their relationship as Sayid reflects as a buffer between Vinz and Hubert. The white flash used between the scene where they sitting listlessly and where they are talking is used to show time passing.

The New crews car drives past them and this reverses back which makes it feel like they are in a safari, they are set as looking down at the trio the way people visiting zoos are set when looking into dangerous animal enclosures. After the reporter asks if they were involved in the past nights riots, the trio retaliate, they are shot looking up towards the crew however the shot is low angle which suggests they are in control and won this battle.

The media shoot Vinz in  high angle shot as he is angry and this reflects how stereotypes are caused in France as this is what citizens are going to see of what kind of people live in the projects. This shot demonises Vinz and so gives justification for police activity
