"Shot Design"

shot analysis
The first thing that caught my eye was the source of light on the right - this is because for one there is an obvious break of pattern but more importantly it is much brighter than the rest of the image - contrast. My attention was then drawn towards the characters face - this was done with a piece of 'string' - a physical(though minor) connection - and the placement of his arm, leading the attention away from the fence but towards the body. The face comparatively is not as well lit - but contrast has done it again as the character has relatively darkish hair contrasting with the paler skin.

Very different from the previous shot - much brighter. However though the shot is very well lit, the black uniform against the white background makes the situation almost cynical (despite the obvious expressions carried by the actors).
Very deep space and feeling very enclosed - as if you can't run away from the situation.
Diagonal lines suggests tension and the position of the black uniform males are above the 'victim' suggesting power over him.
