The movie that I chose to do my film analysis on is Bad Boys 1 (1995). The movie is about two cops that are trying their best to solve crime. The cops get their hands on an important task, trying to find the people that are responsible for stealing $100 million of Mafia seized heroin from a secure police vault that previous night. At the end, the cop says that it is not worth killing the villain because he has been found and there is no place to run.

Other scene when the director uses extreme close up was when Fouchet had the gun pointed back at detective Mike and Marcus to show that Fouchet almost got the power to fight back at the detectives but when Mike saw the gun being reflected on Marcus while Fouchet was taking out the gun from the back of this pants Mike fired his gun at Fouchet and killing him. The director uses the extreme close up at the end of the scene where the gun is dropping out of Fouchet hands, just showing the hand and the gun showing that it start with the gun in Fouchet hands and ending by dropping it. In the beginning of the scene, the director uses the medium shot to show Fouchet running for his life before he gets shot, when Fouchet gets shot in the knee the shot of the camera transitions from a medium shot to a full shot of his body falling to the ground losing everything in this power. Then using the full shot to allow detective Mike Lowery, Marcus Burnett and Julie Mott walk into the frame using the zoom shot technique allow this effect shows them coming towards the subject to get a sense of feeling to get into the
