Common Camera angles, movement, and shots:
-Many medium close up shots, and in almost every shot there were two people or three people.
-A lot of track shots of the equalizer doing his thing. During the fight scenes, there were especially many birds-eye angles.
-I didn't see more than 1 or 2 establishing shots, I would have preferred to see more.
Mis En Scene:
-The lighting was really dark and I could not see a few scenes.
-Honestly, it was just casual 80s attire with the most costumes being suits.
-Areas recorded in were the city, a gambling room, a restaurant, a smaller restaurant, a warehouse, and a dock for boats.
- There were too many props to actually record all but the most prominent were different types of weapons. Also, many drinks and foods were eaten.
- The equalizer has one colorful scene. The rest are all taken at night or have tons of shadows.
Editing:
- In all the fight scenes they use a ton of quick pans.
-Eye-line matches between characters and objects are pretty prominent
- There are some fades in and out of scenes.
- Some zooming in at areas.
Sound:
-Heavy use of ambient sound, usually doors opening, background chatter, and busy streets.
- During fights, there is music and gunshots, screams, and the footsteps are extremely loud for some reason.
Elements of the movie:
-The main plot of the movie is a depressed man believes he has put his mysterious past behind him and starts a new and quiet life. But at a waffle shop, he meets a young girl being forced to work for Russian gangsters and can't stand idly by.
-The main conflict is between the equalizer and the gangsters. He goes out of his way to make sure none of them can live until he dies.
-The movie tries to create this intense tone throughout the entire movie which does well. However, I feel like I could not relax during any scene.
Elements I liked:
-A lot of interesting ways the Russian gangsters are dealt with.
-Good at building an emotional relationship and makes you care for the girl that needs to be saved.
-It makes you appreciate the directors work on the interesting ways he deals with villains.
Elements I disliked:
-Literally last 40 minutes was just completely dark scenes and it was annoying to look at.
- Some of the scenes were useless, providing nothing to the movie.
-The director made the gangsters so weak, they never ever scratched the equalizer.
-I didn't see more than 1 or 2 establishing shots, I would have preferred to see more.
