What is the modern and fashion hotel in Tokyo. The bustling cities and his mood contrast it. The mysterious city, he was so tired. The lens for night he was about this long and lonely travelling.




Shot 5:



Sound: At the beginning, it is very quite. And with one moment elevator bell sounds. Is the sound diabetic with characters talking? The music had a steady atmosphere. Also, this part still with sounds.
Color Usage: The colors are very neutral and downplayed in this shot.

Depth of Field: This is the last scene in this case; waiter pushed his package and follow Bob. Bob just want to get a room and have a good rest, he don’t care about his package or gifts. Long time journey makes him so tired and bored.

Maybe he waiting someone to help him and talk to him, then next part, Actress was coming soon. All of the next part need this scene to introduce and summary.
