The Dark Knight: Hospital Scene Analysis

Power is shown almost the whole time throughout this scene. This is used because it needs to be clear on who has the power and it also allows the audience to see the perspective of the characters in this scene. Films like, 'Batman' need to make it clear who has the most power in each scene otherwise the audience would find the film hard to follow and would be confused on who has the up hand.

Camera Shot Analysis: 

In this shot you can see behind the shoulder of two face with the Joker towering over him - this is an example of the power that the Joker has over two face. Having the shot behind the shoulder of two face allows us to be put in the same position making us feel intimidated.  This shot is used more than the other shot shown below because when looking at the Joker from this angle it adds tension and mystery to the interrogation making you want to know what is going to happen to the two characters. 

This shot is completely the opposite to the last shot because we are now behind the shoulder of the dominant character. Allowing the audience to have the perspectives of both the dominant and non-dominant character, gives the audience a chance to feel how the certain characters are feeling. When the audience are put in the same position as the Joker they may feel superiority and authority.

The camera also slowly zooms in with each different shot that it changes to, showing the build up of tension and how the situation between the two characters escalate with every second. If the shot did not zoom in and just stayed at a medium shot then this scene wouldn't be as effective and wouldn't create the 'on the edge of your seat' feeling for the audience.
