Relationship Between Shots. Blog #3

           The movie Training Day was a very amazing and dramatic story about a rookie cop learning the way of the streets and doing some justice while having a corrupted cop as a partner and a mentor. After awhile, you realize that this corrupted cop has a very tight grip on his fellow officers and his whole community back home, that he has every piece of dirt on them and can arrest them at anytime he wants. They show the fear and force loyalty for this cop except for the rookie. The rookie has a sense of justice and doesn't want to do what the corrupted cop wants. Eventually the corrupted cop begins to understand that the rookie is not one of them and has to be killed. Which leads to a fall out, a shoot out, and even to a point where the two cops are trying to kill each other in front of the corrupted cop's community and family. You think the community will try and help out the corrupted cop, but they all stand against him because they saw the rookie defying him.
          The camera begins to have a medium close up zoom on the corrupted cop's face, he's in complete shock, looks around the community in disbelief as the camera pans around the area to see everyone standing against him and one of his followers pointing a gun at him. The camera does a medium shot of the gun towards the corrupted cop and the stared down between them. Then the camera follows up with a medium long shot on the rookie walking away, covered in his own blood, with his former mentor in the back yelling out to him to come back and finish what they started.
Medium close ups on the corrupted cop's face as he shouts at the rookie, the community, about how he runs this place. Following with other medium shots and long shots of the community and his family slowly walking away and leaving him alone on the street with no longer the power, fear, or loyalty he has left. Just a shell of a man. The angles at this part shows how much this corrupted cop has fallen.
