There are 4 main characters in the clip. These relationships are showing by the screenshot of the floor plan. This clip has set the camera in 5 positions.
Camera A is a wide shot with a small focal length. The purpose of this shot is mainly to create an environment overview for the audience. At the same time, the audience can understand what kind of the situation with the acting of character.
Camera B and Camera D is a set base on 180-degree rules, Baron and Shelby is the main character bargain in this scene. Camera B and Camera D are both mid-shot with midden focal length. They are focus on a character most of the time during acting, but they also responsible for some close-up shots and panning of the camera.For example :duration 00:47-00:51&1:08-1:13, camera D is panning with character’s action. The framing of the camera D always keeps the character Baron on the left side of the screen, camera B‘s framing always keeps Shelby on the right side of the screen. Base on the framing, the position has created eye contact between both characters. By setting this eye line, the audience will feel continuity while they watching the show. Otherwise, if the breaking of eye contact may create chaos for the audience.
Camera C is a mid closeup shot on Falcon, this camera is a response to the reflection of Falcon. The framing of this camera Keeps Falcon on the left side. This framing implies that Falcon & Baron are at the same party during this conversation scene.
Camera E is a mid-close-up shot with a long focal length. This shot is a response to the reaction of the winter soldier. However, there isn’t much reaction during the conversation. During the scene, we can identify that winter soldiers are on the right-hand side of the frame. The position of the character remains the same during the entire conversation, just the direction of the camera has changed. What causes this is because Baron said to Selby that he is going to give winter soldiers as part of the trade. So that the framing changes to the right-hand side to respond to the development of the story.
Acting is one of the key elements that make the scene attractive. Without good acting this scene will be boring, the audience will be lost their patient in just a few seconds. This scene involves the movement of the character and the face reaction of the character. Their reaction and movement are related to the development of conversation, each action has its purpose.
The Screen direction of this scene is followed by the movement of the camera and the actor’s action. In the shots between 00:35-00:36, we seeing a lookup movement of Shelby and there is the reaction from Falcon. These two shots also create eye contact between Falcon and Shelby. The continuity is developer base on eye contact.
