micro elements in Harry Brown

The micro elements are mise-en-scene, sound, cinematography, editing and sfx. An example of sound is the visceral sound of Harry Brown making tea which emphasizes his loneliness. An example of mise-en-scene is the darkness of his flat at night, lit by a single dim light which displays his isolation from the outside world. An example of cinematography is the close up on Harry Brown's face when he wakes up, indicating immediately his position as the protagonist. An example of editing is the hand held shots of the two scenes at the beginning represent point of view and make the scenes seem more authentic. And an example of SFX is the stunt double for when the bike hits the lorry, which gives the stunt more or a risk factor to it.
