analysing 24.

In 24, camera shots are used for a variety of effects. Shots such as the long shot at the start of the clip we watched, shows us where jack bauer and his family are: a forest, and shows the car they are in for details of the scene. Close ups are shown in the chase scene, which are used to show the emotions of his family and give the effect of connecting with the characters. Shot Reverse Shot is used for the scene where the villains are firing at jack and his family, it gives the effect of being able to understand the combat scene, as it shows both sides of the combat returning fire. An extreme long shot is used for the chase again, which is used to show the setting.

Editing is another way to help the scene become more realistic. A short take is used in the action scenes so that you can see what happens as it is usually fast action and you need to see what happens in a blink of an eye, so it switches fast.
