End of the Line, was a very interesting sequence. We witnessed, as the audience, a business man exiting a building in central London; where he subsequently walks along street and ends up being mugged by another character half way along. The mugged character has know idea of this yet and walks off, as normal. The 'mugger' is then seen meeting another character to hand her what he has just robbed.
The media students involved in this film used a range of very well executed shots. They used a few close ups in quick succession, of the business man's face, to convey the rushing of the character - this was also implyied through some of the shots including a clock in the background, which in one shot drifted in and out of focus.
This group also included a high angle shot that allowed us to watch the business man exit the building and walk off into the streets of central London. This high angle technique showed the area of where this is situated to the audience to gain a first pre-judgement of what could occur in this area. As well as this the high angle shot seem like the character is being watched as a person could easily be standing on a bridge looking down at him, or it could be the use of a cctv camera watching his moves.
End of the Line's most memorable shot for me was the speeding up of the London Eye. This was a fantastic techinque in representing the passing of time, because you witness the London Eye moving much faster than usuall, and because where the 'Wheel' is located we can see the change in the sky from night to day (visa versa). This was also a good idea because the London Eye is relevant to the opening sequence due to the fact that the opening sequence is set in Central London.
