“A narrative pattern of establishing enigmas which the view expects to be

resolved”

This close up shot gives the letter

narrative significance and

creates an enigma to what this letter could contain or mean to this character. If the viewer is

already aware of the illuminati they will recognize the emblem on the

letter is their logo and will make them have a vague idea of

what is going on.

“Extraordinary events happening in ordinary

situations”This shot here

establishes a rough location of this

scene, and because you can see traffic moving behind it

gives the idea that this is happening in

a normal urban area. This ties in

well with this convention and

makes the audience feel more comfortable with the scene as it is

(at the moment) a very normal scene

and something they can relate to

“A protagonist who is systematically dis-empowered and drawn into a complex

web of intrigue by the antagonist”

This close up shot shoes

Barack Obama, from the scenes before you know that this is what was in the letter and also know that something

is going to happen to him from the black

lines across peoples eyes.

Because of these letters and who is

sending them the character has no choice

but to adhere to there

instructions, leaving him

helpless and dis-empowered.

“A crime at the core of the narrative”

This close up shot of our character

drawing a line over a mans eyes hints to the audience that there is something definitely suspicious

going on and most likely a crime. This is also back up

by the fact this man is not the only one and you can see others to the

left of his hand in this shot.

“Mise en scene which echoes/mirrors the

protagonist’s plight”This over the

shoulder shot of the character washing his

faces shows how he is dressed,

you can also see this in the first scene, the way he is dressed

suggests he is a businessman

and may make audience think that because of

his work this might be the reason for the letters. It also suggests that

maybe whatever was in the letter he was ready for and that he is a

man that likes to dress smartly whenever he

can.

“A scene in which the protagonist is in peril”

This reaction shot would

suggest that whatever was in the letter has shocked him and was

also something he

was not expecting and

could be something

that would put him or others in danger. The

reaction to this event in this frame

shows that he might also be questioning what it is he has received.
