In this Shot Frank is assembling his Guns ready for battle against Petrov Kane and his Hench men. The shot had to be really quick but had to have impact, as it was the driving point for the start of the film to its climax. For the gun assembling there was 8 takes, but G.O.O.D had to scrap it as we wanted the ambience to be dark as it would better suit the films feel. So Alex shined a light on the weapons as Frank was assembling it and it worked much better. As well as that the standard shot of Frank looking over his gun worked really well as it gives a chance to show Frank status through the film and his anger to find Petrov Kane and kill him. The panning shot of the guns was Alex’s idea as it gave a chance to see the weapons in a professional way and most action films would show the hero going into battle and assembling their guns before hand, which is another convention and that includes reception theory that giving the audience what their use to in action movies, which is the use of guns, explosions etc.
G.O.O.D Shot
Here is a perfect example of the guns layed across the table and a panning shot from underneath.
