White House Down

A lot of the camera shots are of low angle shots this makes the audience feel like the character has more power over them. Another camera shot that I really like is the medium shot that slowly turned into a long shot, of when the helicopter's fly over the pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial, and you can see the choppers separating the water.

In the first scene the music starts of fast but quite and gradually gets faster and louder, this is effective because the helicopters are flying first thing in the morning and the world hasn't quite woken-up yet but as the sun starts to rise the music starts to get louder. At the very beginning you hear an alarm to wake up the little girl that is excited about seeing the helicopter's pass, as the picture begins to form and the alarm goes of its almost like we are being awoken a long with the little girl.

The pace of editing is slow as they show the President flying over important buildings. This is effective because it makes the audience think on where he is going and why he is important.

At the very beginning you see a little girl in her pajamas which shows that it is early in the morning. When the camera is looking into the helicopter it makes the audience feel like they are looking into the audience. When we are looking into the audience you can see the President sitting looking back at you in a suite and tie, this suggests that he likes to be well dressed and presentable.

During the first scene you can tell that the president is going to be one of the main characters, you can tell this by the fact that he had a close up and the cameras was on the helicopters the hole time. Another main character is the little girl you know this due to the fact that the camera was really interested on what she was doing.

At the very beginning they use white writing in capitals on a black background, this is effective because they stand out and they are bold so it makes the writing catch your eye.

We can tell that one of the genres is drama by the fact that the music in the beginning was very dramatic. you can't tell that the other two genres are action and thriller through the first scene.
