Detailed analysis of crime film openings
Unlike my
other two chosen films this film gets straight to the points with a panning shot which leads to an establishing shot of the area. There are use of wide angle shots and long angel shots. When the scene changes to the monastery there are close ups of the lady and a low angle shot of Christ. The camera is very static but does zoom in out to follow a moving object. There are uses of high angles shots also.
The lighting when outside comes directly from the sun. The very first scene we see is of a sunset which cast the surrounding in shadow and casts the sky in a deep orange. When in the monastery the candles do nothing to give out light this hints at artificial lighting being used to shoot the scene. There are moments when sun spots are on the lens of the camera.
Mise –en-scene of this film shows a deserted barren waste land with dirt track roads and large dust clouds forming from the moving car. The car is a very old style car which hints at an early 1900’s setting. The way the characters dress in the film also helps set the film at early 1900’s
There are uses of fade ins and outs of scenes. The credits also tend to fade in and out. The picture often dissolves from one scene into another there are smooth transitions from one scene into the other.
The music in this film is relaxing but causes slight excitement. There is a voice over narration. There is also a mixture of different dialects in the film. There are also ambient sounds of the car driving on the road, of the cars engine, of foot steps.
