Shot by Shot Analysis of A Scene

   

Captain America:  Winter Soldier as evidences through this fight scene in an elevator for Pete"s sake is a well thought out masterful thrill ride with action that comes straight out of the comic books.  I'll start with the action at the 1:49 mark

 

Here you see an OTS shot or actually over a few shoulders with the critical focus being on Captain America.  I believe the director does this to give  the sense that our hero is boxed in, or trapped with no where to go if you will.  In an elevator with Cap I think I almost feel sorry for those guys.

  

In this action Two Shot you can clearly see the antagonist is the focus here  and the look on his face lets you know he means business.  You cant see Caps face because his back is literally against the wall.

   

                       

This shot is the OTS version of the previous shot here you can clearly see Cap's face.  He don't look to happy does he.  Shock treatment will do that too you.  I believe the director wanted to catch this moment as a precursor to the antagonist's but about to get handed to him.

   

As this WS shows Captain America has escaped the elevator ride from hell and is now walking away.  This shot is used to let you know that the scene has ended and Cap got away virtually unscathed.
