'Minority Report' Shot-By-Shot Analysis

Shot 1: Medium Shot (MS)
The Medium shot allows us to see enough of the scene to establish the group as perhaps and army or law enforcer. We can see the face of several people, foreshadowing that they are to die within the next few shots and/or be involved in the inevitable action scene to come, highlighted in the facial expressions of the man in the foreground.

Shot 2:Wide Shot (WS)

The Wide shot shows us enough of the background to allow us to establish the scene. The camera seems to be placed in a building/garage perhaps to indicate an area in which the main protagonist intends to reach. The scene also seems quite dangerous evident in the burnt out car and the fact the protagonist is running, adding a sense of danger to the scene, 


Shot 3:Medium Close-Up (MCU)

The Medium Close-up shot shows us the facial expressions of 'John Anderton' which may have been unnoticed in a shot further away such as a Long Shot (LS). It shows us that he is slightly unnerved by something we do do know of yet.
