Christmas Blog Activity (Mission: Impossible III)


The genre to MI3 is Thriller, Adventure and Action. The plot is that IMF (Impossible Mission Force) agent Ethan Hunt has to go undercover to rescue his wife. During the movie his team are trying to prove that you cannot have a normal relationship while being in this field of work. Especially when Ethan’s wife Julia gets kidnapped and he will do anything to get her back.



This is a clip from the movie Mission: Impossible III, this particular scene creates suspense as the main character Agent Ethan Hunt jumps from one roof to another and both are around 200ft tall. The use of camera and sound are very effective. 


Mise-en-scene for Ethan is black combats and t-shirt to be less recognisable. He carries a gun and parachute. The opening of this scene was an extreme long shot that panned and zoomed into a close up of Ethan’s face, this helps the audience to see his facial expression. Overall during this scene its set at night so there is light coming from lamps and the roofs. 

This shot gives us a view of the roof and also the height in which he is jumping. This created suspense for me as the roof is slanted so you don’t know if he will make it; the audience also get the view as if they are doing the jump which puts your heart in your mouth. This is also an over the shoulder shot of another character Luther.

Here the music is at its height, and we get a long shot of Ethan in mid air. This shot again shows the audience the extreme height he was jumping from as all you can see are bright dots on the ground. There are bright lights coming from all the buildings. This shot specifically will make the audience gasp and this is the climax of suspense as you can see how high he is in the air and you still don’t know if he will make it, this is the crucial point for us.

Here we have a mid shot which you mainly see his face but we now know that he made the jump. You can see the relief from his facial expression. The lighting is very dark again with a lot of shadows. Here the music has died down and is now in silence as you hear him sigh.
