As you can see, the scene that I have picked is from The
Dark Knight Rises, where Batman and bane had their first ever battle. I have
picked this particular scene because it shows a lot of different things
happening at the same time which I will get onto below.
In this scene the excessive use of straight cut away throughout
the extract highlights the build-up of tension. This is revelled when a cut
away is employed at the start of the fight in order to give the audience the
impression that an explosive tense fight will take place due to the employment of
action codes for example when the charge by batman towards bane. As the fight
becomes more and more intense there’s a more frequent jump shot to a close up
of Cat Women. This close cup could have been utilised to emphasise her on edge
facial expression. Applying Propp character theory, Batman is of course the
main protagonist and the hero as he is trying to defeat evil. The diegetic sound
of the rain whilst the fight is taking place creates a scene of emotion, uncertainty,
pressure and perhaps evil prevailing.
