Many features of the film are utilized in the five-minute scene of Agent Carter, including sound, angles/shots, editing, and mise-en-scène.
To begin, let's talk about sound. Seconds after the film begins, post-synchronized dubbing is used. The dialogue between the two characters is overlaid on a Marvel character cartoon filmstrip. When the office alarm goes off and the man answers the phone to listen to the emergency recording, diegetic sound is also used in the opening scene. When the businessmen are walking up the stairs, a nondiegetic sound is introduced. We can hear the music in this scenario, but the characters couldn't have heard it while filming. Then Agent Carter fights off all of the men (grunting and striking), and when the character pleads for aid, this is an example of direct sound.
After that, I concentrated on camera angles and other types of pictures. With the exception of a few pictures, the majority of the shots were captured at eye level throughout the five-minute action. When the man is on the phone and glances down at the piece of paper, a point of view shot is revealed. We see the paper via "his eyes" to get a clear picture of what he's looking at. Another point of view shot is when carter holds her significant other's photograph after removing it from her desk. When Agent Carter forces one of her prisoners to get down on the ground and binds him to a pipe, a high angle shot is briefly seen. The character appears small in this brief scene where the angle is recorded from above, which is significant because he is small at the time because he has no authority and is entirely controlled by Agent Carter.
In the Agent Carter short clip, some editing techniques were also detected. When the scene switches to a year later, a cut is presented, however this cut is also a fade since the colors fade away and the screen goes black. When Agent Carter is talking to the man maneuvering the spaceship, another editing method is demonstrated in the five-minute footage. To generate suspense, the filming alternates between the two characters. Leitmotif is another form of editing, which may be seen when the alarm goes off. Even while leitmotif sound is normally nondiegetic, it is in this case because the audience and the characters are all aware that when the alarm goes off, there is a crime in progress that requires special help.
Finally, in the Agent Carter clip, I noticed elements of Mise-en-scène. The scene in this film begins with Agent Carter in her office. We can tell that because Agent Carter is a woman, none of the men take her seriously, as evidenced by the scene change where Agent Carter is knocking them out one by one at the gas station. Low-key lighting is employed throughout the video to create a sense of suspension and tension. When agent carter is at the gas station, trying to get past all of the males in her way, this illumination is extremely important. When the two men were dispatched outside to tell Agent Carter she couldn't be at the gas station due of the gas leak, they were using blocking as an example of mise-en-scène.
