EBI- re-do question 2

When the character sitting down is concerned, medium shots specifically are predominantly used, which are effective in showing what looks to be despair through his facial expression. As he  lights up the trail with the match though, a tracking shot (in addition to straight cuts) are used to follow the flame as it spreads. After this though, a tilt shot is implemented to show that the flame is being doused by this other character with his urine, who we're shown from a much lower angle. This is able to present him as a quite strong and dominant character in comparison to the other one who is shown from more of a higher angle, in turn providing an opposite effect. 

As this second character walks down the steps another tracking shot is used which in combination with sound, which will be further explained in the next question, suggests the demise of the other character. As both characters converse though, this lower angle is used again, this time however only allowing us to see the torso of this character, his face not in shot. This inability to recognise this character helps add to this mystery of him, adding to this idea that he is something of a villain as outlined in Vladimir Propp's theory.

Camera work is also used to put the more violent elements of the scene off-screen, as we don't actually see the character sitting down being shot. Rather, all we view is the barrel of the pistol before this takes place through a medium shot, with the sound of the gunshots letting viewers understand what exactly took place. As the killer flees from the scene of the crime, a tracking shot is implemented again which further adds to this idea of this villain character being able to: 'live to fight another day.'
