Baby Driver Day 4

Today in class we continued to watch Baby Driver, directed by Edgar Wright. We resumed the movie with Baby preparing for his next job with the best criminals from the last heists, Bats, Darling, and Buddy. They all go to a warehouse where they met with some of Doc's guys to buy weapons. When Bats became suspicion of the men being the police because of a LAPD marking on the weapons create. He then proceeds to shoot the dealer and his men. They get into a gunfight and Baby takes cover. After darling get skimmed on the arm by a bullet, they all make it out of the gunfight alive. On their drive back to headquarters, Bats proclaimed that he was hungry and told Baby to stop at a diner in the distance, but Baby refused and they go there anyway. When they arrive, Baby sees Deborah but avoids eye contact. Baby also does not talk when she is taking their drinks and when she brought them, Bats asked why Baby wouldn't want to go to this diner. She tells him to fill out a suggestion slip which must have pissed Bats off because he goes to pull out his gun when she walks away but baby grabs the gun and convinces him not to do it. He puts the gun away and they all leave except Baby, who pays for the bill and gave Deborah a napkin that read "Road trip 2 AM".

When the get back to headquarters, Doc is extremely pissed off and tries to cancel the heist because they killed cops that were on his side. Bats persuades him to still do it but before he decided, he made Baby make the final decision which enhanced his character. He also told them that they must stay there because they are wanted. After everyone fell asleep, Baby tries to sneak out at 3 AM but he was not quick enough because Buddy blocked his car from leaving. Bats also gets in the car and they ask why he was leaving and he told them he was getting coffee. Bats then shows him that he found his recorder which has been recording their conversations to make beats. He tries to explain this but they don't believe him and knock him out. He then wakes up back in the headquarters with all of his mix tapes on the table. There is comedic relief when a tape is played and is a song. The next morning they wake up and get in a van and head to the post office. After they run in the post office, Baby stays in the car and sees the bank teller that he met the first time, and proceeds to shake his head to warn her. She fast-walks away and comes back with a security guard. As he knocks on the window, the rest of the group run out and Bats shoots the security guard and they all get in the car. After looking at the bank teller again, baby does not move the car and they all start to scream at him. Baby then drives strait into the truck in front of them and kills Bats. This is when the period ends and we gave Mr. Rivers our third note card about jump cuts. There were many J cuts and cutting on action examples in what we watched today. Pick your MP3 blog dates!
