Brief analysed shot

An example of how I want characters to react to one another and how there is more than one action going on one shot e.g the third shot on the page shows Jacky checking his watch whilst Chris stamps on the low life. It also shows that from the first story board example and this one from the same scene that Jacky's face is not shown. This was intended to attempt to create the same meaning as in Pulp Fiction when all we see is Marsellus Wallace's back of his head. This amplifies both Jacky's and Wallace's presence and illustrates their power.
