The film opens with an establishing shot of the protagonist running across the bridge who is very determined to be a professional basketball player. The fast paced background music flows well with the narrative and most importantly it interests the audience by sending an up beat spirit and a motivating message.
This is followed by a point of view shot of the protagonist running which demonstrates realism and it also connects with the audience straight away by it relating to their lives. The fast tempo non diegetic sound continues to the next scene which is cleverly done by it being a match cut and it symbolises aspiration of the protagonists willingness to reach his goal despite the tragedy that has occurred.
I decided to keep the diegetic sound of the footstep and the basketball bouncing to again illustrate realism. Its crucial in the basketball scene to get as many shots as possible and it is important to make it fast pace because it not only shows the determination of the protagonist but it also builds up tension. The fast paced music works well with whats going on in the scene.
The next sequence is the flashback where all micro aspects are changed because the event is at a different time. The mise en scene of this scene is in black and white so the audience can understand when it happened. Most shots in the flashback is a long take to show sympathy of the death of his mother
