It is obvious he is attached to this girl and leads the audience to wonder who killed her, what relation is she to Brendon and how did both the characters get to this point.]]> 2017-01-08 19:03:51 UTC https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/145873033 10ortona https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/145873197 2017-01-08 19:07:00 UTC https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/145873197 10ortona https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/145950948 2017-01-09 12:02:29 UTC https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/145950948 10ortona https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/145950993 This scene opens with Brendan finding Tug's (The pins muscle) car which was seen earlier in the film. The car is shown in the centre of an estabishing shot and we can see that the car is the object of significance in this shot.]]> 2017-01-09 12:02:45 UTC https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/145950993 10ortona https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/145951772 The angry tug walks aggressively towards Brendan and violently beats Brendan up before driving off.]]> 2017-01-09 12:07:52 UTC https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/145951772 10ortona https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/145952102 Just when the audience thinks the danger is over the car comes accelerating towards the motionless brendan. The back and fourth between the car and the character build up massive tension up to this point as the audience thinks the car is going to hit him. It misses by millimeters shown by this shot of brendans hand close to the moving bodywork.]]> 2017-01-09 12:10:14 UTC https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/145952102 10ortona https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/146186226 In this scene brendan shows his darker side by brutally beating up and interrogating dode (a friend of brendans Ex) When dode refuses to give him information on the whereabouts of emily he beats him up. This shows brendan's commitment to finding out information and lack of concern for others. It also shows brendons violent side.]]> 2017-01-10 09:19:24 UTC https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/146186226 10ortona https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/146197060 2017-01-10 10:14:07 UTC https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/146197060 10ortona https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/146203079 This scene uses a two shot/high angle shot to show brendans aggression and dominance showing dode as a weak and helpless victim.]]> 2017-01-10 10:47:14 UTC https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/146203079 10ortona https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/146203729 2017-01-10 10:50:35 UTC https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/146203729 10ortona https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/146203807 In this scene the pin and Tup face off over the ownership of a block of heroin that gives the movie its name. Brendan acts as a negotiator in this scene trying to resolve the dispute peacefully.  ]]> 2017-01-10 10:51:01 UTC https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/146203807 10ortona https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/146212814 This shot shows the two gangs facing off. They are equally balanced on both sides of the mid shot in the pins room with two on either side and Brenden in the middle of the scene. The lighting used in this scene is very lowkey and dim to reflect the unlawful and murky actions of the criminal underworld.

This pays homage to the traditional film noirs which are updated and combined with modern themes and techniques.]]> 2017-01-10 17:33:30 UTC https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/146324124 10ortona https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/146406599 2017-01-10 22:40:57 UTC https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/146406599 10ortona https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/146407122 This is perhaps the most gory scene of the whole film. Set in the tunnel again Dode comes forward with some information for the pin and tug. Brenden is also invited. Dode starts to give his information exposing Brenden and saying he was the one who killed Emily. As suspense builds Tug becomes increasingly agitated by Dode's remarks. Just before he can expose Brenden Tug snaps beating up Dode and shooting him in the head. The use of a two shot looking out of the tunnel shows Dode once again the helpless victim in this scene kneeling down while the uncontrollable Tug is towering over him. ]]> 2017-01-10 22:47:33 UTC https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/146407122 10ortona https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/146408253 To add to the horror of this scene the gunshot is slowed down to show the aftermath of the gunshot with Dode's blood spraying up the wall. This is very sobering to the audience and shows not only how dangerous and unpredictable Tug is but also how much danger Brenden is in as it could have just had easily been him if Dode had been allowed to expose Brenden]]> 2017-01-10 23:02:14 UTC https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/146408253 10ortona https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/146409060 2017-01-10 23:12:55 UTC https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/146409060 10ortona https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/146409124 This is the last scene in the film where Brenden discovers Laura was involved in the murder of his ex Emily. This scene is quite sad as Brenden felt he could trust her and fell in love with her. The use of a close up two shot and the narrow distance between the two characters shows how close their relationship had become.]]> 2017-01-10 23:13:38 UTC https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/146409124 10ortona https://padlet.com/10ortona/ocl5jkhpsvo2/wish/146409528 Just when The audience thinks Brenden has got the upper hand and escaped the audial Laura leans in close and tells him that he was the father to Emily's unborn child.
