Research Task by Harry Speer
 
Bourne Ultimatum
 
Editing
  • quick cuts makes the pace fast
  • action jumps forward which speeds up the story
  • flashbacks provide back-story and show Jason Bourne's disturbed state of mind
  • continuity editing
 
 
Camerawork
  • extreme close ups shows emotions and used to link to flashbacks
  • hand-held camera makes viewers feel they are there
  • flashbacks distorted to show what the memories are like in his mind
  • wide shots show location
 
 
Mise en scene
  • shot on location makes it seem more realistic
  • snow, vehicles, train, police uniforms reinforce the location in Russia
  • grubbiness conveys his situation
  • flashbacks settings are clean, clinical and brightly lit contrasting with dark and grimy present
 
 
Sound
  • sirens reinforce that he is being chased by police
  • music fast paced and adds to excitement, helps creates suspense
  • train sounds emphasise his location
  • dramatic music during flashbacks
  • echo used during flashbacks to make it seem distorted as Jason Bourne cannot remember properly
