01 Measured identity
Bloody Sunday
A restless, moving eye. 90% of shots pull out or push in; it works wide-to-close — wide masters for place, close-ups for cost. Mean shot 22s but median just 8s: long handheld masters held, then cut against fast bursts. Two overlapping voices, documentary-fast.
02 Shot grammar
What the film is built from
299 measured shots across six sizes, three motions, three framings.
Shot size
Camera motion
Framing
READ: wide-leaning, single-focused; 57% held on one person, closing to CU for emphasis. 9 of 10 shots moving → verite grammar, measured.
03 Rhythm
Long masters, cut against bursts
Cuts per minute across all 55 scenes — mirrored as the film's pulse.
THE GAP IS THE STORY: most shots short (~8s); a few long verite masters (past a minute) haul the mean to 22s. Slow breath, then snap.
04 Dialogue
Two voices, overlapping, documentary-fast
The talk the picture is cut to.
Speaker share
TEXTURE: 18 seg/min = lines on top of each other, clipped and overlapping — caught, not composed. Speech beats drive coverage + cut rhythm.
