Jackie Brown (1997) Part 3 - Don't Go Shopping with DeNiro

The final clip that I am going to asses is when Robert DeNiro's character is in a shopping mall.

The scene begins with a Two Shot of Melanie and Louis walking through the department store. The use of the Two Shot shows the difference between Melanie and Louis and it also puts into perspective the traditional representations of men and women, which is that Men are always dominant and strong and Women are undermined and weak. The shot uses diagetic sound of Louis and Melanie talking, the purpose of the use of diagetic sound is to allow the audience to hear what is going on between the both of them.

The Two Shot is mostly used throughout this scene, after they got the money the shot was then used again to show Louis's dominance.

The final shot is a two shot of Melanie and Louis getting into the car. This shot challenges Thriller Conventions as it takes place in broad daylight using natural ambient lighting and it is also set in a car park where a lot of people could see what is hapenning, it challenges the conventions because murders in Thriller Films such as Essex Boys are usually done in isolated places, while in Jackie Brown, it is done in a populated area. This shot also shows what type of character Louis is. A really powerful person, who isn't afraid of getting his hands dirty, which is why he murdered Melanie in a parking lot, where there could be a chance he could be seen doing his dirty act.
