Research - Law Abiding Citizen Interrogation Scene

This clip starts with a close up of a heart rate monitoring machine which immediately signals danger as well as possible violence (which this clip has). we find out that a man is attached to the machine (again signalling danger and violence) as well as the man being tied down. Here is a screen shot of the man:

All the time this is happening the interrogator is asking the man about the crime he has committed, in this instance the murder of a whole family. He then continues to list all of the devices he has that will be used to torture the man as well as asking about the family. This is good as it creates a sense of action and drama on top of the actual interrogation scene. This is effective as it would keep the audience entertained as well as moving the storyline of the film along.

Here is the clip from Law Abiding Citizen:



Toward the end of the clip he begins to inject the man with adrenaline, describing the unpleasant effects the drug will have on him as he does. A number of shots show the clip, the most peculiar is a shot looking up at a mirrored ceiling, which reflects the torture occurring below. This is effective as it gives a different aspect or perception of the events unfolding.
From this clip i have learnt that action can be used alongside narrative to produce a compelling story as well as an exciting piece of footage. Possible things we could use from that clip would be the mirrored shot, or perhaps the 'out of the box' thinking that would produce such a shot.
