Code break is an excellent short thriller, though analysing I have notices a couple of things if changed would give out more of a thriller feeling.
When you start looking at the shots you can notice that some of the shots were not included. As you watch the beginning of the movie you can notice that it came on too strong. What would’ve been the better thing to do was to have a POV or even an establishing shot to give sometime for the audience to analyze that it was an interrogation. When the shot of the spitting came up I didn’t understand that he spat on him, what they could have done was a reaction shot of him being spat on.
The sounds for this thriller was used quite well, but there were some parts of the movie were the goon had punched him and it sounded like he was being slapped. Although I liked most of the background sound effects there was one part of the scene where the background sound did not fit. It was the moment where they had brought in the daughter of the main character. There had been too much suspense in music that it sounded less than a thriller and more like a horror. What would’ve been the better would be to have some music building up to give a better effect of a thriller.
To make a movie great you need a series of different items when put together can make a movie look amazing, that is called mise-en-scene. To find out more about the character you have to just look at what they are wearing. The main character is dressed casually in the scene, which makes him look like he was kidnapped of the street. The goons are wearing dark leather jackets which make them look like they have done a lot of bad things to a lot of people and they want to hide it from everyone else. To tell that a person is in charge he must stand out from everyone, and that is what they did when the leader was wearing a army uniform. What I really enjoyed in the scene was the lighting because the setting was filled with a orange light coming from the lights of the room and a hint of blue shining on the actors face.
These certain actors were amazing for this movie because they looked right for the part. The actors did an amazing job in selling the idea that they were real Russian mafia. There were a couple of problems with the make-up, one of the problems were when he was being drowned in the water, the fake blood was being washed off and it is possible to see that it is just make-up. The second problem was that when he was put out of the water he had suddenly turned completely dry. In the movie they had only used one major prop and that was a bowl filled with water, it just looked ridiculous that he was being drowned in a 10cm bowl of water, the overall result of the prop just made the movie look worse. As for the setting, that was my favorite part of the mise-en-scene, a major part of a movie is the setting and in this film it was the best type of location that they could have filmed on.
This movie is a definite thriller, since it has all the suspense, fear, and torcher. This could work as a beginning to a movie where they show a flashback afterwards to explain how he got there.
