Video Analysis #1 (Prison Break - T-Bag)

Camera Shots
The clip begins with a close up shot of Theodore Bagwell (T-Bag), it then zooms out as the gate opens and he is welcomed by his fellow prisoners. In the next clip it shows a mixture of long shot, mid shots and even a high angle shot which could be a POV shot from the second tier of cells. A few seconds, an over the shoulder shot is used to engage you in the action as if you were a prisoner. It is conveniently over the shoulder of T-Bag as it is showing that everyone is on his side. Also, a low angle shot is used to show the guards surrounded by prisoners and it portrays the feeling of isolation for the guards. Finally, an extreme close up shot is used to show an intense moment between T-Bag and one of the prison guards.


Editing
The editing is fairly basic, there is no use of slow motion or any other effects. Also, the clip is a combination of smaller scenes so it is not clear of any editing used inbetween.

Sound
The most notable sound is the tense music building up to when T-Bag speaks up for all the prisoners about the temperature. The only other sound shown in the clip is the jail door opening at the beginning. Also the sound of guards and prisoners shouting during the row.


Mise-en-scene
From the beginning of the clip it is obvious that T-Bag is the leader and the other prisoners look up to him. He's most certainly the leader of his group and this can be seen when he is transferred back to the cells at the start of the clip. Also, he steps forward to confront the guard and is then backed up by his crew. He is the one who sparks things up in the prison and causes controversy.
