Editing and emotion in 'Spooks'

CUTS
  1. The establishing shot is of a man who is walking down a road, it is filmed using an extreme long shot this makes him look isolated and alone. His phones starts to ring and he answers it.
  2. This shows who is on the phone, it is a woman, she doesn't say anything. She is stood by the window watching him. The man does not know who it is but as an audience we do, this is a unrestrictive narrative.
  3. The man's reaction to the person not answering him is quite apprehensive.
  4. This is an extreme close-up of the woman on the phone, she is still not talking. This makes it quite unsettling.
  5. This is a mid-shot of the man - he appears to be quite unnerved by the phone call. This shot highlights his emotion.
  6. This shot gives the feel as if someone is watching from behind a car or in a car. This makes the shot quite tense and again unsettling.
  7. This is an extreme close up of the woman taking the sim card out of the mobile phone. Gives an impression that she is hard to trace.
  8. This is a shot of the woman walking away from the window this gives an air of mystery to the woman as she still has not spoken.
  9. Another establishing shot is used. It is a building which sets the scene for the next series of cuts.
  10. This shot is inside the intelligence office which again sets the scene.
  11. There is a shot of the laptop that shows what this person is looking for. It creates a sense of tension.
  12. The man typing on the laptop also brings tension.
  13. This is a shot of a dimly lit warehouse, there are people in it preparing for something. Brings mystery.
  14. This is a shot of them removing any personal items as if removing their identities.
  15. Another close up of the laptop shows what is happening.
  16. There is a shot of the man who is using the laptop's face. Identifies this man.
  17. His hands again typing on the keyboard.
  18. Another close up of men dressing, then move to one side to reveal another woman. This heightens the sense of mystery.
  19. Shot of the man walking into the intelligence office, creates a business sense to the building. Shows there are more than one person working on this case.
  20. Close up of computer screen which shows files being deleted.
  21. Shot of the man removing a data stick.
