Analysis of Spooks

First of all when the scene opens we can see the camera angle makes a 360 turn around the assumed main character, which always means a spot light set on this person, however we realise that the main character takes orders through a mobile phone. The Protagonist gives the image of being good as it is also presented in the video wearing white, and this resembles of goodness, however from the start the person we first assume of being a terrorist wearing black clothes, later on shows us the reasoning of am attempt to assasin.
The sounds are cleverly used at the start there is a quite music, giving a idea of silence before thunder, however the 3 second middle eastern types music has given an extra affect to show its roots, we see that the man giving orders are getting orders from the person behind him, which the woman gives the idea of confidence and power with crossed arms. I have also liked the fact that when the protagonist shows the phone to the assumed terrorist, the sun light shines on phone which gives the idea of hope and relief, again representing hope and relief the cross signs gives the idea of religious affect as well.
The lighting I thought was very effectives as I mentioned the about the sun, but at the start it seemed that there was a dim lighting, and as the Tv drama went on the sun light shined on the assumed terrorist. The sound of the child also represents hope and relief, which has given the audience to give sympathy towards the child.
Overall I think this scene has very important points and has shown what it tried to show through its camera types, mise-en-scene, editing and sound.
