Porsche GT3 RS Scene


Fast and Furious 5: Porsche GT3 RS
In this scene we see Brian racing in the Porsche GT3 RS he is trying to do a lap of the warehouse without the cameras seeing him as it has the same layout as the police station they are trying to rob. 
The use of camera angles is very effective in this scene. The car has to be accelerating quickly and needs to be very fast to drift otherwise it's quite stiff as it's a super car and needs the traction. We can see what the cameras are seeing as they are mounted on walls around the warehouse this gives us unique views of the GT3 which director Justin Lin wanted.


There is a selection sounds we are hearing in this scene ranging from the Porsche's 4.0 flat-six engine, we also hear the exhaust and tire sequels when Brain is drifting. A perfect example of Diegetic sound.

Some of the props we can see are camera's, walkie talkies, laptops and a podium.

Looking at the semiotics of the scene, based on the signs and symbols the audience thinks the characters are the antagonists as they are planning a heist to get rich of one of the richest men in Rio De Janeiro. But they realise that he is the antagonist as he is selling drugs with an army of corrupt police on his side.

The denotation represented by Paul Walker and his Porsche. In the scene we can see Paul drifting his Porsche whilst the camera props are following him, the objective is trying to drift the car and hit the corners fast so the cameras won't see him, as the warehouse is laid out in the same way the police station, they are trying to rob is.

As this scene is shot in a warehouse we can expect to see natural lighting shining through the windows, we expect it to be dirty and dusty, even some old mechanical equipment, all this adds to the atmosphere of the scene and helps the viewer understand that the location is very secluded.


We can see in this scene the use of apparel the protagonists are wearing and we can assume that they are the protagonists as they are wearing light clothing, instead of dark clothing which could give the effect of being antagonistic.The Mise-en-scene represents everything the viewer can see in the scene. The actors on screen, props, warehouse location and apparel.
