5 scenes

this famous scene in pulp fiction is one of my all time favorites its a simple shot reverse shot between Vincent, a hitman, and Brad , some nobody who pissed off the wrong gangster. As far as lighting goes, Vince's key light is a lot brighter, establishing him as the character in charge.

I love kung fu movies, even though Kung Fu Hustle was a bit more comedic, the action scene are nothing less than incredible.. in this scene the kung fu masters fight off a threat from gangsters. This scene is really beautiful because it is shot at night and the background of the slum is complemented with green light giving it depth and implied signs of life (it's not an abandoned building, people live there) Also a lot of wide shots and reaction shots used. its hard to follow a kung fu fight if all the shots are too close so the WSs lets the audience get their bearings as to whats going on.

I love how they shot this scene, simply because its one long shot from the time the camera enters count room to the time the subject leaves the casino. the cool thing about it is the camera doesnt just follow the subjuect it  goes around the room as the voiceovers explain what's going on. I don't know what the name of this kind of shot is called but it is one of my favorite techniques and how they do it so smoothly is beyond me at this point.

Hit Me! nolan really amped up the tension with this scene. in a way it is a shot reverse shot, just with movement. the camera switches from one to another showing both character's unrelenting will. this really goes with what the joker says later in the movie " the unstoppable force (batman) meets an immovable object (Joker)"
