Preliminary Task

We chose this film because it shows all the shots we will use in our preliminary task: establishing shot, close up shot, match on action, reaction shot, long shot and shot reverse shot.

Mr Bean is established at the beginning of the clip which shows the audience he is the main character. A close up is used on the man pretending to be a baby whilst he is stealing fruit. Match on action is used well when Mr Bean realizes the man is stealing. The reaction shot is cleverly used when Mr Bean realizes his teddy is missing, this created sympathy from the audience and triggered the action in the clip. A long shot is used in the car chase to show the audience the surroundings. And shot reverse shot is used earlier on from the car chase whilst Mr Bean is still in the supermarket, this is used well for Mr Bean having a confrontation with the man.
