kill bill vol. 2

In the first shot we see of the scene the camera is tracking backwards from a medium close up of a the bride in a church, the medium close up is used to show the emotion that she is feeling. This was created to start off by setting the scene and show that where the scene was and who the scene was based around. In the second shot we see a point of view shot from the bride looking out to a doorway with doors open and bright lighting coming in from outside the doors. The character looking shows the audience where they are walking to and where they are going, this is a way to set the scene and create curiousness towards the audience as it makes them also want to know what is out there. In the third shot, which is a reaction shot, we see the bride reacting to a pipe being played.  

In the fourth shot we see the door way with the woman exiting it. Using mid-shot and the rule of thirds. This is shot is important as it shows us where she is going. In the Fifth shot we see a Bill sitting outside playing a pipe with bride in the out of focus staring out away from him. This is shown using a low angle with a close -up of Bill and a long shot of the bride in the background. In shot six we see an eye-level, close-up of the bride’s face looking at Bill. This shows bride’s reaction to him being there. Furthermore, shows a clear representation to the audience that they both know each other and have a past.

In the seventh shot we see a close up, high angle, of Bill playing the pipe looking away from the bride. Again, showing they have a past. There is a series of reverse shots between shots six and seven this is to build tension and make it clear to the audience that this is an uncomfortable situation because they feel awkward and uncomfortable. In the eighth shot we see the bride leaning away with her back towards the man again. This shot is a medium shot and the bride is on the left side of the shot. However, on the right hand side the shot is empty. This is known as negative space. This was put in the shot for a reason to show that the relationship between the two characters is negative and is also a contrast to their relationship as it isn’t empty and they once had something there. In the ninth shot we see the brides face side on as the camera tracks her in moving closer to bill.
