shot analysis

This medium shot shows Anderton & the precog Agatha on the run. This shot effectively shows this by placing the two characters on the right sight of the screen which gives the impression that they are going somewhere in a hurry. Also, the background is lit brightly and the two characters are in dark clothing which seems to enhance their desire to stay hidden and safe. However, the stark contrast of the white setting brings Anderton & Agatha out even more. This mid-shot also shows Agatha in a glowing light which in a sense, emphasizes her ability to see the future and know more than anyone else. Anderton is holding her closely next to him in a way to suggest that he is protecting her. However, the determined look on his face and the aggressive manner of his grasp show how his intentions are not to protect Agatha for her sake but rather, his. Both characters have their eyes fixed ahead to a certain place or goal. This shot successfully executes its goal of showing Anderton & Agatha determined to keep going forward regardless of all other surrounding factors.
