The Usual Suspects
Camera movements
They used a mid shot for the first character. This was enough to show the audience the face of the character and the action he was doing which was lighting a cigarette.
After the climax of the gunshot they then used establishing shots after this could have been to show the audience that they were in a secluded place therefore, it justifies why nobody else might not have heard the shot.
Mise En Scene
Initially, the first thing that the audience might notice is the darkness of this scene. Because of this and the unusual location this could immediately imply that something bad is going to happen and the fire in the background helps to emphasise this point because fire signifies danger.
When the second man allegedly shot the first man he held his gun sideways which could show that he is not professional since that pose is normally associated with street gangs.
Sound
The music is introduced when the second man is which could imply that the second character that appears is more significant.
The sound of his heavy footsteps are also empathised which gives off an intimidating impression.
When there is an explosion of the fire the music is amplified which makes it more dramatic and draws the audience's attention to the fire.
