Tom Clancy's Without Remorse Movie Review

 Review of a few Camera Angles in the Movie

Tom Clancy's Without Remorse (2021)

From Producers Michael B. Jorda, Akiva Goldsman, Andre Nemec, 

Josh Appelbaum, and David Ellison

I chose the movie Tom Clancy's Without Remorse because when I first heard about it I really wanted to see it but I didn't have the time. The movie was extremely action packed and had a great cast that really helped the movie.

This is an over the shoulder shot of Karen Greer and Robert Ritter talking about the mission they are about to proceed into. In this part of the movie we learn that Greer and her team are weary and don't trust Ritter because of how he acts. They believe that Ritter is corrupt and is trying to sabotage the mission.

This shot is a two-shot and shows Michael B. Jordan's character John Kelly and Karen Greer. In this shot we see as Karen has to break the news to John that the CIA will not be looking into the murders of Johns wife and unborn child. Before this scene there is a meeting between Ritter, the secretary of defense, and Greer. In this meeting we learn that the CIA is still withholding information from Greer and their team.
This is another over the shoulder shot in which we see John Kelly threatens a corrupt government official who helped get Kelly's wife killed. The official made false passports for 4 Russian operatives which allowed them to get into the country and kill Kelly's family. Kelly is interrogating the official because there was a 4th operative that the CIA knows about but wont tell Kelly. So, Kelly goes straight to the source to figure out who the 4th guy is.
This is a choker shot where we see John Kelly talking to Karen Greer from a hole in the door of a prison cell. They are talking about getting Kelly out of prison, he is in prison because he had killed the corrupt official. This scene also comes right after Kelly is fighting the SWAT team, in order to get out of a corrupt prison which would lead to his death.
This is one of the final shot of the scene and it is a close shot where we see Greer sitting in her car after John Kelly's fake funeral that they had for him. They faked his death because Kelly's deal was that he was allowed to go on the mission, but as soon as he got back he would have to go back to a corrupt prison where he would be killed immediately. During this funeral we see that they give Greer Kelly's flag because Kelly no longer has any family. Therefore, Greer is the only person left that can accept his flag. After this scene we learn that the corrupt one wasn't Ritter but was instead the secretary. This would explain how the Russians knew all the American's secrets. The scene after this shows Kelly exposing the corrupt secretary and drowning him.

Simultaneity: This scene is from the movie arrival, we see simultaneity in this scene when we see all the news reports about the ship and the ship. The news reports and the videos of the ship being shown at once while talking about the same thing shows the audience simutaneity. Leit Motif: This is the scene from the first Harry Potter movie when he is seeing Hogwarts for the first time. In this scene we see as Harry and his friend Ron get off the train and use boats to get to the shore of the school. This is Leit motif because in the background you can hear the theme song of the movie. Parallelism: This is a scene from the first Captain America movie. In this scene Steve Rogers (Captain America) is fighting the villain redskull and during the fight we see how redskull isn't really who he seems but this is after we see Steve's reaction to it.

Intro:  1. Throughout my intros and cuts I decided to not add any sound because I couldn't find any sound that would be good to tie together all the shots. Symbolism:  2. Post Synchronization Dubbing: For these scenes I chose to use random noises because I couldn't think of any sound to put over the clips. Simultaneity: 3. Post Synchronization Dubbing: For the first scene where I show me missing the trash can I used a booing noise because I wanted it to seem like people were booing me because I missed. Then in the next shot I include people cheering because I picked up the litter instead of leaving it there. Contrast:  4.  Post Synchronization Dubbing: For the first scene I chose to include thunder over me yelling trying to look tough because that way it would seem like I was powerful and strong. For the second scene I included a giggle because I wanted to show the contrast of me looking cute as opposed to strong. Parallelism: 5.  Post Synchronization Dubbing: F...

Getting Started With Camera Angles

Close shot: This shot was complicated because we didn't want it to be confused with a cameo shot, so we tried to get Chris in between the two colors. Full Shot: This shot was easy because she was just standing there and I recorded a video of her just standing. Cameo shot: For this one we just used the first solid colored wall we could find and used it.  Over the shoulder: In order to get this shot I had to wait for Chris to film her shots that way I could get an over the shoulder shot. Head on shot: For this shot it was pretty easy to just have Chris walk towards the camera as if she is walking through it. Tilt shot: This shot was another very easy one to film because it requires me to stand still and tilt the phone up. Close up: This was another easy shot to film because I just grabbed the first thing I could find. Pan Shot: For this shot I just took a video as I stayed in one place and moved the phone.
