The Dark Knight Rises


The movie starts with the non-diegetic sound and with the subtitles of Warner bros and legendary pictures.The black and white context gives a historical context to the viewer.The story of this movie continues after 8 years from the previous part,there is mid shot of the commissioner James Gordon (one of the finest police officer) 
addressing to the city.The camera angle was low and light on his face was high that tells the person is trustworthy and in a god like position.At the back of the  
commisioner there is picture of Harvey dent,the light on his face is also high"I knew harvey dent...it would take a long time to inspire us the way he did..noone 
can do work like him".These dialogues from James tells us that Harvey dent is known as the hero of Gotham city now.
                                           
After the speech,fade-out is used for editing,the next shot begans from the camera following the jeep in the crops.Mid shot is used in the car to tell the number of people sitting in the car.In the front seat two men are sitting a old man and a person driving the jeep,in the back 5 men are sitting 2 of them holding guns while the the remaining three are (criminals) their heads covered with black cloth.The person holding guns are police officers,there expressions are serious plus the back-ground music tells the audience something serious is going on.The jeep is going towards the aircarft.Wide-shot is used here to show the aircraft,its surrounded by three police
-men holding guns.Camera is mainly  focusing on the person ahead of the aircraft and the police-men.He is confident and the low angle of camera put police officer in power insight of the audience.Standing in front of the three police men tells that he is the person incharge.Common techinque of editing is constantly used here,it shows the faces of those three criminals sitting in the jeep covered with black cloth.

"Doctor Pablo,i am CIA" the policemen standing in front of the air craft says to the old man in the jeep.The old man(doctor) is pushed towards the aircraft after replying  the police officer that people work for bane are not his friends.The police officer starts conversation with the driver of the jeep.The camera takes a close close-up of the driver face,his facial expressions were serious & that marks something bad is going to happen."They work for the mercenary,the man with mask" driver tells the police-officer,"BANE?" the police-men replies,the driver shook his head.The next shot began with the extreme wide shot of the airplane.The next shot began with the extreme wide shot of the plane,the aircraft is flying over the mountains.There is constantly terrifying non-diegetic sound.The next shot starts in the air-craft,doctor Pablo is sitting.
on the aircraft seat while the three criminals are put down on their knees.The CIA is standing in front of the three criminals."its me,my men and doctor Pablo here but only one of you,(point out gun to the criminals)first one to talk will stay on my aircraft" the CIA (police-men) shouts.The camera is taking the mid-shot of the police officer to mark his actions.The police-men is criticizing the criminals that if they don't speak he will throw them out of the plane.The police-men and his men are trying to make the criminals speak up by putting one of the criminals head out of the plane."Who sent you to grab doctor pablo" the police
men shouts,he waits for the answer and then shoots the bullet in the air to make criminal speak up.The camera is taking extreme close-up of the policemen face,his anger and willingness to know about their plan is making him furious.The policemen the puts second criminal head out of the plane and asks him about the mystery of BANE'S wearing mask."low loyalty for higher gun"the police-men shouts towards the criminal whose head is out of the plane & at the same time Bane (the third criminal) speaks up "Perhaps he is wondering why someone would shoot him out,before throwing him out of the plane".The policemen turns and says "Atleast you can talk,who are you?" in reply bane says "it doesn't matter who we are,what matters is our plan".During these exchange of words the camera took a close-up of policemen face,he is confused & and intimidated.Morever the light on bane's face is low as compared to the officer.During the exchange of words the police men said "you're a big guy".That tells the 
viewer he have good physique,morever his mysterious voice,confidence and low camera level thats tells the viewer he is in power and is likely to cause trouble for 
the police officer.The example of bane's confidence can be spot on when the police officer asked him "is your plan still working?" he replies at the same moment

'ofcourse'.The next shot began with the extreme wide shot of the plane passing near the mountains,a big and better plane than the police plane comes into screen.The big plane was

flying above the police plane.Midshot is used in the police plane to show their actions and facial expressions.The guards standing near the CIA were nervous and were looking outside from the plane's window,while the pilots were nervous because the police plane was shaking.The background music is fast and terrifying that further establishes intrest in the viewer.(Maybe the plan bane was talking is on his move).Police men (CIA) asks bane about their master plan,at that time camera takes a extreme close-up of bane's eyes his eyes were aggressive and were ready to put down all the obstacles that come in his plan's way.Low angle is constantly used for 
bane's face to make it inspire fear and insecurity in the viewer who is psychologically dominated by the figure on the screen."crashing this plane with no survivors" bane said to policemen and quickly stands on his feet.The plane that was travelling above the police plane was there to help bane.His men jumped from there to the police plane.They attacked the police and tie the police plane with their big plane.The police plane was out of control.Bane's men wasting no time make a way into the police plane using explosives on the tail of the plane.The non diegetic sounds were continuously terriyfying.Bane's men entered into the plane and bough a dead body with them.Bane used a tool to put some of the doctor's blood on that dead body.Bane was doing everything using his master mind.He was aware after crashing police 
there would be investigations so he but doctor's blood on that dead body,so the investigators can officialy call the doctor as dead.Bane tied himself and the doctor  with the ropes thrown by the big plane.Camera continuously shows his aggressiveness by close up of bane's face.while he was making his way out of the police plane he stopped one of his men to stay,because he didn't want investigators to think that there are some bodies missing in the plane.Bane appearance,dialogues and strong leadership makes him a powerful person to led villain role in this movie.'the fire rises' he said before leaving the plane that dialogue marks the beginning of his master plan to destroy Gotham.
