No Country for old men (Coin Toss) (Visual Studies)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLCL6OYbSTw


I picked this clip out of No Country for Old men, because of how simple and dramatic it is, with how other than the establishing scene of the gas station it’s all set in side, with the camera mostly only changing from their faces when they are talking or to capture their emotions or reactions to the situation, as well as that the dialog is also simple in some ways but also very suggestive, he doesn’t directly say what’ll happen if he loses the coin toss but the way it’s filmed and the attitude of the actors tell you everything you need to know without bluntly saying it, which is why I’m using this video I like the subtle style of it, and how it doesn’t directly say what’s happening, and the simplicity of the scene works really well and is a style I like.
